New sensitivity settings

[rrroberttt]

It took me a while to get my CH Yoke settings to work with MSFS. It is now all over the place, so, I checked the sensitivity settings. Now I find that they have added 2 new ones, without any announcement, that I know of. There are now six sensivitity sliders. Does anyone know what the 2 new ones are all about. I would appreciate any help with this before, I attempt to reset my yoke for this sim.

 

Thank you

There is now a way to set the limit of travel which is a very helpful addition for some functions, it is called "extremity dead zone". I used it to limit rudder travel and it has curtailed some of the violent swings that used to take place.

 

The other new setting "reactivity" is self explanatory.

People are a bit confused as to what the difference is between reactivity and sensitivity.

Perhaps a native French speaker could do that.

 

I can't.

I think we can take reactivity to mean effectiveness or effectivity, i.e. the amount of effect a control axis has, the further it is moved.

Sensitivity is how much effect the control axis has when it is moved at all.

Thank you to everyone.

sfojimbo gave me this in another post, it has helped me big time, and I feel you'll find it helpful too. AD

 

There are some good youtube tutorials available.

Here's one to put you on the right track.

 

My feeling is that it doesn't really matter if FS "recognizes" a device I'm adding because it's a certainty that I'm going to be custom tailoring them anyway.

 

Once your plane is in the air all you need to do to get the sensitivity right is to pause, and hit escape then "controls", then select the controller you are working on and make an adjustment to the sensitivity, when you're done hit save --> resume and unpause to try the change out. It's a quick and easy process, you can go back and forth in no time. (use pause not active pause and you'll save some headaches).

 

Get to know the "controls" function, it's not going to ever go away.
