Hello, my issue is that my joystick output ingame is very sensitive. For a little displacement the plane nose gets very responsive. It's impossible for me to keep the gun whatsoever on a target. I have seen few youtube videos, people got much more stable noses.

I would like to tune down the sensivity, but I can't! Thrustmaster doesn't provide a driver. My J-stick 0 is fine, and it correctly run to 5000/10000 when I test it in WOFF settings (x,y,z axis are all fine). In Windows device there is no chance I can calibrate it.

Looks like I need to keep it how it is, unless I somehow manage to tune that 10000 value and make it, by example 9000, it would be 10% less sensitive and probably more steady. Any idea where to change it?

What model Thrustmaster is it?

I had forgot about the scaling the Pol mentions below.
I have a T16000m
I have X any Y scale for the T16000 at 75 and 1

Thrustmaster does have the Target software that, for some sticks, allows the response curve to be adjusted.
This works for the T16000, but I've not used that feature.

can't you adjust the scale?

In WOFF Function Bindings program, under Current Bindings, click an axis you want to adjust, then click on "Advanced"
Adjust the scale down.
Save, test.

thanks:

My x axis current scale value is 64, with a null of 36. It can scale up between 0-200.

edit: I set it on 194, just for testing, and feels much better.
