I once saw an article here somewhere that did a precision comparision between most of the HOTAS setups but I can't find it now.

Anyone have a link?

Thanks.

This?

Thats it!

You read my mind.

Many many thanks.

I have to say that's not a good representation of joystick accuracy... You should search the web for joytester2 graphs. There is a lot more to accuracy then making straight repeating 45 degree lines.

Roundness of the graphs(to test linearity), dead zones, noise, steps (resolutions) and minute responses around the center also need to be tested.

Hmmm....I dont get anything I can read when I google that. Do you have a direct link to some comparisons?

JoyTester2 (Precision Tester) is more used by russian sim comunity, in sukhoi.ru forum you find many samples of tests.

In Youtube are a sample for Thrustmaster T16000M, made by HOTAS.gr (in Greek).

Here a result from low cost stick:

Notice that Joy Analizer (Thrustmaster software, work with any stick) used in SimHQ Warthorg review (linked upper) do circular graphics too.

Some years ago in IL-2 Ubi forum someone suggest make a stick comparative using Joytester2, but the High End HOTAS at time, Tm Cougar and CH F-16 dont show good results... so the idea was quickly abandoned ...
