Brummer, have you tried to adjust your joystick movement range proportionally to match the planes control surface deflection range with this software?

Curious.

No I did not. I only know that one can adjust joystick sensitivity. You have sliders for x and y: sensitivity, deadzone and motion range. But I have not experimented with motion range yet.
There are no curves like in the TIR software, just sliders.

Honestly I do not quite understand what you mean.

I never compared the in game planes surface deflection rate I would get with keybord inputs to the deflection the joystick puts out.

Quote from the pinnacle profiler online help:

"
Joystick Sensitivity
The Joystick Sensitivity determines the acceleration speed of an analog joystick. The greater the sensitivity value, the more speed variations can be achieved by tilting the joystick different amounts; therefore, a greater maximum speed can also be achieved with a higher sensitivity setting. Adjust this value from the Joystick Setup window to set the sensitivity for the joystick under the current configuration.

Joystick Deadzone
The Joystick Deadzone determines the amount an analog joystick must be tilted before Pinnacle responds to the movement. This setting is important because most controller joysticks do not always "spring" back to the exact same neutral position. You may find that if the deadzone is too low, the joystick may get "stuck" moving in some direction even after you've released the joystick to the neutral position. Game controllers return position coordinates even within the neutral position, so by having a slight deadzone, you can prevent unintentional movements. The necessary deadzone may vary from controller to controller. Adjust this value from the Joystick Setup window to set the deadzone for the joystick under the current configuration.

Joystick Range
The Joystick Range determines the maximum amount of movement reported for an analog joystick. This setting could be described as the opposite of the deadzone setting. Tilting the joystick beyond the maximum range will have the same effect as tilting it to the maximum range. For example, if the range is set to 80% then tilting the joystick beyond 80% will always return the same value as 80% would return. Adjust this value from the Joystick Setup window to set the range for the joystick under the current configuration.

"

What you are asking for may be a combinbation of sensitivity and range settings, but I did not try this.

From reading what RoF Dev's stated, they have programmed the joystick as if you had a full size joystick to fly RoF attached to yur PC. So the movement of your PC joystick would be like flying a full size plane by holding the control stick at the same distance as your PC joystick, inches from the bottom. Its part of the realism.?.?

That is why very little movement of your PC joystick equals a lot of movement of the control surface. Watch the movement of the plane JS to the movement of your PC JS, big difference.

That's just my opinion.

Thanks for the explanation Brummer, excellent.

I see. To achieve this change of transmission, you would theoretically have to increase the range of movement on the slider, I think. But range is already set to 100% with the default settings.
