Joystick Problem

Hi I have a problem with my joystick which as been working fine for a cheapo, When i am using the throttle say on take off as I move the slider it gets to half way then shoots forward clearly not what it should do in my opinion, not being that good with joystick settings i am finding it difficult to fix it.

I am using fly by wire mod, and have dead zones set to 9% have I got something wrong with my settings I wonder if anyone as experienced this problem and managed to fix it ,any help or Advice would be much appreciated.

I know controllers in general can be a pain in the bum ,and i am sure there are numerous posts about them after searching I was unable to find anything .

I also tried to increase my frame rates lol I followed a video on youtube omg what a disaster I had to go back and change it all ,so i have Knocked that on the head and am resigned to being satisfied with what I am getting still experimenting with settings a little not to really increase fps but just get good graphics settings the trouble is i dont understand what half of the setting do,

Anyway if anyone as any idears it would be welcome.

Flight sticks are very limited at the moment and I have no room for a yoke i am waiting until the one i want becomes available if any can recommend a not to expensive one in the mean time it would be Appreciated.

Sorry for spelling.

kind regards

Two things come to mind

 

1-if you using a mod, disable the mod and see if that fixes it

2-have you calibrated the joystick via the Windows calibration tool (type joy.cpl in the Start toolbar)

Thanks for your reply yes i have calibrated it in windows even tried downloading a driver for the stick made it worse I dont really want to disable the mod as it works fine, its the A320 mod which i fly quiet alot,but thanks for your sugestion and i will bear it in mind.

I and many others have had this issue. The fix, as it turns out, is a simple one.

 

Go back to your joystick assignments and make sure you assign what you see below. Bind the joystick controls to the AXIS settings, not roll left, etc.

 

I thank you for your reply and the graphic, my controls were actually set as you are showing in the picture but its the Throttle i am having problems with the ailerons ,Elevator,and rudder were ok but i did reassign them anyway there seems to be a problem with the throttle slider I am beginning to think there is something wrong with the controller time for a new one I think :)

Skip the controller and go with a Yoke.

I was all joystick controller and switched to a Honeycomb Alpha.

I can't imagine going back.

 

I did keep my MS Sidewinder2 FFB just in case to fly fighters though.

i cant have a yoke as there is a keyboard shelf on my desk and it would be to much clutter nice idear though I did think about it ,but they are like rocking horse muck at the moment and the price as gone sky high lol excuse the pun.
