Hello everyone,

I'm mainly a WW2 guy but this sim looked too awesome to pass up. Finally built my new pc, took my first flight in A10 last night and it was a blast. I'm having a few controller issues. My rudder pedals (CH pro pedals) felt VERY touchy. I would barely move them, even rest my feet barely one way and the plane would slide. How can I make them less touchy? Are the in sim tools pretty good? It looks complex.

I also have the x52, that seemed touchy as well. I probably used 10% of the full motion of the stick to turn the plane the entire time. What's an easy way to tone this down?

Use the "Axis tune" settings in the controller settings inside DCS. Try setting a nice S-curve to make the sensitivity around the sticks center position a bit less saturated or you can lower the saturation all together, or maybe a little bit of both. Just try fiddling a bit with it until you find a setting that you like.

+1 for the S-curve, had to tweak it a bit since my rudders were just too twitchy even when on the ground.

Can someone post a screen to what their S curves look like? Thanks for the help.

Also I'm using the Jackbauer x52 profile from the DCS forums, and I cannot get the pinky switch functions to work. Is anyone else using this profile and can help me get it running good?

I fought with the CH rudder pedals at first, but got some help from the folks at the CH Hangar: http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/showthread.php?7765-A-10-Profile-issues

I turned down the sensitivity of the rudder pedals to 50% from within CH Control Panel, then set the axis curve to 30 and the deadzone to 5 within A-10C. Made a huge improvement.

I'm happy with the handling using these settings: +18 curve on X and Y axis (X52 Pro), +28 curve for rudder and +18 curve for wheel brake (G25 pedals).

If you want to use pinkie as a modifier you need to use fx. LCTRL as a modifier in A-10C options and then map LCTRL on pinkie in the SST software.

You can create modifiers inside the in-game options. I've stopped using the SST as it created a problem with the axis iirc. The only thing I'm missing from SST is that I could map PAC-1 on pinkie+trigger and PAC-2 on trigger to simulate the dual stage trigger of A-10. I would press pinkie+trigger which would stabilize on the target with PAC-1, then release just the pinkie to go to PAC-2. Unfortunately, as the controls in-game don't correspont to keyboard presses, it doesn't work that way.

Why map the dual stage with SST and a modifier, couldn't you just map the dual trigger in game? The X52 does have a dual trigger.

Should have clarified, I have the X45.
