Title: Stalling with X-52
Post by: lowZX14 on October 27, 2008, 09:05:14 AM

I recently purchased an X52 and have now had a lot of trouble stalling with it.  I've scaled it a couple of different ways and played with the deadband and all but I still seem to be stalling really quick.  Anyone know what could be the cause and what I could do to fix it?  I've even gone as far as enabling the limiter again, but that really dind't help.

Need films to look at to tell you, but watch your speed. I bet your just getting to slow.

I have a X-52 and have the "enable scaling" off all the sliders are maxed out, I also have the stall limiter off.

I'm flying it the same way I did with my old Logitech.  Speed is up but as soon as I start to pull halfway hard, it goes into a stall.  I used to be able to do it all day long with the old stick.

Maybe your just not use to it yet? I know when I went from my old Logitech stick to an X-52 I could not fly like I use to! It was a very different feel! Try playing arounfd with it for a bit, maybe then it'll work better for you.  :aok

Make sure in advanced that scaling is enabled.
Might need to adjust the scaling somewhat.

Concentrate on being light and smooth with your inputs.

It's always going to feel different going from one stick to another - especially from a stick with mediocre input range/sensitivity to one that is higher quality.  Makes it even more important to take your time to calibrate it properly and completely.

I use the x52 also.

As the others have stated it is much more sensitive and will take some time to get used to it. But the good news is you have greater control over the range...meaning you can have finer control of your plane.

You can scale the elevator input. If you do scale, do only the first 30 percent then take the line up to normal. Its the 0 to 30 percent that is giving you the trouble. Just smooth that out some and then take the curve as normal. After you get used to it you will find the scaling limiting your turning. But to start with scale it some then later undo scaling to get the full response.

Thanks guys, I'm also feeling as if I'm not getting full rpms out of it.  I'm checking the rpm that are on the gauge with those in the E6B and they look like they match.  I'm calibrating every so often as well but it feels like I'm flying with flaps down all of the time.
