I have a DIY control stick, made to represent the real aircraft stick. I use plastic gears with a 1:3 ratio to get more movement in the pot. However, with the long moment (appox 24") the gear slack gives me about 1" inch on either side before control input is seen in MSFS. This makes for a lot of slop in a fighter cockpit.
Anybody, have an idea on how to tighten up the slop? I have already set the FSUIPC slope to +3. Any more and I get a sudden movement from the aircraft. I have my Delta set to 1. I am using a higher grade (Borug) pot, than the standard Radio Shack variety, in order to get better control.
I don't use MSFS to control the inputs. It all goes from the OpenCockpit USB Axes card through FSUIPC.
