~S~ Strider,

Thank you. this is a great link. Thanks for sharing it.

~S~ Mad T!

Glad you are as impressed as I was. NP, m8! Better for the squad all round.

I'm wondering if his technique is applicable to any other aircraft in game.

I found Mr. Klingstroem's pitch setting:

I have also been struggling with pitch and roll setting for my MSFFB2 stick....I found it to be too sensitive during high-g dogfight manouvers .(that is why I kept losing to Rattler-----my story and I'm sticking to it....LOL)

I'm gonna try those pitch setting (or a close facsimile). where did you find them and what does he use for roll?

I'm gonna modify them a bit anyway, cause I dont want to have to adjust those settings for each a/c I fly and just need a good compromise that will work for most planes.

~S~, M8!

I got Klingstroem's settings from a post of his but just copied them to Notepad and printed it. Can't find source now. Whole thing is:

[rts_ joystick]

X=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0

Y=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0

Z=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0

RZ=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0

FF=1

U=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0

V=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0

1X=0 0 3 9 16 25 34 46 59 75 100 40

1Y=3 0 1 3 6 12 21 35 51 67 91 60

1RZ=12 0 1 2 3 9 16 28 41 70 100 80

1U=100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0

1V=100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0

Lol---I don't want to configure Controls all over again for a new pilot either---although I hear lots of guys do so for specific aircraft. Guess I'm just a lazy ***puppy! But this seems to be inspiring me to do it. Once or twice, maybe.

Let me know what you decide upon, m8, for a compromise setting.

Guys go get IL2-JoyControl

If you want profiles per plane then this is the way to go.

Also thank Fool_Trottel

Thanks,m8!

That will help with experimenting with settings. I haven't tried Kling's settings yet but they certainly strike me as involving a lot of stick travel in certain (most) manoevers. I'm not promoting them in any way, just ran across them and put them out for the m8's to consider and try if they want. They seem to work for him with his technique as described in his post.

I would prefer to have one profile for all a/c but can see the logic of different profiles for different types due to design differences in each. Or is this really modelled that much in the game?

My present pitch settings are:

Please note that these sensitivity settings are not only depending on aircraft type, but maybe even more so on the hardware one uses.

Some (most?) Saitek users really like 100's all across for Roll and Pitch...

I'm currently using these, for my Guillemot FFB stick:

aileron=0 27 38 52 63 69 75 83 88 93 100 0

elevator=0 40 46 52 58 64 70 76 82 88 94 0

With these I was able to dive a P51 (or maybe it was Mustang MkIII?) to 860kph, and pull out successfully

[Fireman]

I agree joycontrol is the way to go.

My setup is/was Waaaaaaay more sensitive than those kling uses.
