My craptastic JS gets out of whack constantly... so before taking off I usually jump in a field gun to test it out. If my JS is resting off center the gun moves all by its lonesome until I manipulate it into the sweet spot.
How about a JS check, uh, link..?, right where the aircraft / vehicle choices are?.
Or maybe a "favorites list" of AH settings that appear in, duh, favorites so that we could short cut to the JS, audio, volume or any settings some of may use frequently?
