How do i get my stick to be linear?

Post by aidanw2000 »

Hi, I just acquired prepar3d and i am loving it, i have one question though, in other sims my stick is linear, meaning if i move it, the in game yolk/stick moves the same amount, so if i move my stick 1% to the right, the in game controls will also move 1% to the right. However, prepar3d has some sort of curves in the axis, meaning it doesnt move in proportion to how i move my joystick. How do i get it setup as linear? Ive set sensitivity to full, and gone through the documents but couldnt find any .cfg file for the controls. Any help is appreciated

PS. Stick is a Thrustmaster warthog with throttle and T-Rudder

Hello,

If you add the following entry to the Prepar3D.cfg [CONTROLS] section, you should have linear based axis input:

[CONTROLS]
stick_sensitivity_mode=0

The Prepar3D.cfg file can be located in %APPROAMING%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4.

Let me know if this helps!
Thanks.

Hello,

The setting should apply to all axes in the same way. Which key event is the X axis bound to? Can you double check the null zone and sensitivity settings?

Thanks.

Hi, sorry for the late response, i didnt see your next post. Yeah, my sensitivity is set to max for all axes, the null zone is set to 0 and there are no keys mapped to any axes
