Problems with null zones on the Saitek J/S
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2007 5:22 amHello Chums... :)...!
This may have been covered before...
..but it's a wet, miserable day outside, and I've not got much else to do....
..so, here goes...
On all my "other" joysticks, whenever firing up the Sim, providing that the stick was centralised, and the throttle was set to "off", everything was fine for a run straight down the centre of the runway as the throttle was gently opened....
...but...
On my new Saitek Cyborg Evo Force joystick, (I love saying that, it trips off the tongue beautifully!), as soon as I fire up the Sim, I have to very quickly rotate the stick throughout it's full travel in all directions, and then operate the throttle through its full travel a few times, or else the aircraft accelerates VERY QUICKLY and zooms off onto the grass to the right of the runway....(nothing to do with engine/prop Gyro forces... ;)...).... >:(...!
Once this has been done, the stick works fine for the rest of Sim flights for that session.
It has a mind of its bleedin' own...
...!
The joystick doesn't default to a zero/null/off position when the computer is first switched on, which all my other joysticks used to do, providing that the stick was centralised and the throttle set to its minimum position...
...!
There's sumfin' strange with this particular stick of joy...
...!!
...anyone else experienced this particular problem with this make/type of joystick......?
Cheers all...

...and it's still wet and miserable outside...Bugger...
