I definitely must be missing something guys..ive tried unplugging the joystick set controls to keyboard only and the yawing left/right still happens,also tried cross coupling and changing usb ports for the joystick can anyone advise? Surely im not the only one who's ever had this issue? it's unplayable for me like this thanks in advance for any help

In all helos?
make backup eech.ini to another folder, delete eech.ini and game.cfg and check again.

Tried 4 different helos BANITA still the same, also deleted eech.ini and game.cfg and no joy mate..Thanks btw for your advice,it's probably something on my end il try without trackir and see if there's a conflict between the usb ports

Edit: going try a uninstall and a reinstall see if that helps

Edit: fingers crossed,a full uninstall and reinstall seems to have fixed the problem 4 flights different helos no spinning

Adger, its happening to me too.

The problem is the game detecting bad values for the X/Y cyclic inputs and occasionally from the throttle axis when you configure your flight stick automatically or manually.

I'm on my 3rd reinstall of EECH and dunno WTF to do.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled my flight stick/HOTAS setup (Saitek X45) like 6+ times trying to get EECH to detect rates/values correctly.

I've never had a problem with any version of EECH up until now.

The only thing I can think of is that with the changes to deadzones - they've introduced some sort of bug.

-ORC

Just to be clear, you have no this problem in 1.16.0 but it appears in the 1.16.1 development process (since July 2019)?

and what happen on controls settings page - is axe status bar does not react on rudder properly as well?

Oddly enough, the rudder seems to work fine (although I've had to enable a deadzone for it on my flight stick config to cancel a slight drift to the left when hovering).

My issues are with X/Y axis on the flight stick and only partial detection of the range of travel for the collective.

When I start a misson, even before I disengage the rotor brake - the collective starts at 60%...

anyway, does these things happen on controls config page? is this behavior detectable by controls test bars? if yes, maybe you can make a video

After some additional testing...

Its not the mod. Its happening with the base GoG install.

thealx - yes - after I hit "Autoconfigure" for the controls, the bars showing the X and Y axis are pegged all the way to the right.

In Windows hardware configuration everything is calibrated and tests perfectly. I dunno WTF is going on never ran into this issue before.
I've tried every USB port I have thinking it may be something wrong with a particular port - but they all work perfectly UNTIL I get in-game.

Frustrating.

it does look like some sort incompatibly - maybe drivers was updated? or some Windows updates installed?
DX related stuff like multiplayer and controls are really outdated in the game, so no surprise here. but I can't give you any advice I am afraid, other than try another device, or older drivers.
I have X52 by the way, but both Windows and joystick drivers was not updated for years so all works fine.
