Controls locking up

[Goat1]

I’m getting message “Don’t move your controls so rapidly”
It locks me up and I crash, never had this before, why am I getting now and how do I get rid of it.
Thanks;

First, calibrate your stick, throttle and pedals in Windows, then in the game.

After that, go to the game settings>Controls>Map Controllers>Advanced check box. Choose each controller one by one in the drop down menu. See if the green line jumps up and down and the numbers for a function change, there's your culprit. Apply dead band and damping little by little until it stabilizes.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try.

What stick is it? Does it have pots in it? Pots get dirty and will start to give odd signals (spikes) that could be causing it. They require periodic cleaning in order to get a signal that doesn't have spikes in it. My CH sticks had these and I'd have to go in there and do that now and then. They will wear out eventually and cleaning won't get it anymore. Sometimes the little spade connectors on the wires going to them would get loose too. That'll do it. Modern sticks use different sensors that won't spike but they're still connected with wires. My VKB stick has these and it's generally super smooth but every once in a while a wire connector gets loose and it does spike. I'll just have to reseat it. The wires are connected to the gimbal and it's always moving around after all.

"DeoxIT D5" cleans pots really well.  Look on YouTube, "guitar pots, DeoxIT D5", if you're unsure on how to use it.

Sounds like a worn stick. Recalibrate and see if it keeps happening. Also remember that with joystick movements slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
