Now this is so helpful! Of all the FS videos, I find this answers the baffling (no manual) sensitivities. You’re an excellent and knowledgeable presenter! You sound like scientist Phil Plait 🥰
Incredibly helpful video! Great to be shown the logic behind the control settings. Just used this to dial in my Xbox controller (it was waaayyy too twitchy) and it's much more enjoyable to use now.
Very helpful video. I was using the same yoke profile config for a Cessna and M20R Ovation and it was causing me a lot of frustration when flying the Ovation. I did mess with the settings a bit but not knowing what they all meant made it pretty difficult. Using your video I was able to get the Ovation configured in about 10 minutes using a new profile. What a pleasure it is to fly now. My biggest issue was getting my brakes too work but your video gave me a clue. I have MFG Crosswind pedals and they were not getting full range of motion so I had a devil of a time stopping any plane. I figured something was wrong after watching this video and seeing the bar go all the way to the top which mine was not doing. The out of box config comes with a 10% dead zone at the end of travel so just an FYI to anyone with the MFG pedals. You need to use the MFG calibration utility first before you set them up in MSFS. Anyway, great job man and thanks for taking the time. AE
This really helped. Especially correcting a single prop tendency to drift left and dive in MS FSim (using my joystick anyway). Using the neutral points, I was able to get the aircraft to stay straight and level without using any trim.
Just came across this video at random, really useful. You sound like a pilot in rl. I almost got that same VKB controller but went with Virpil Alpha Constellation & WarBRD base instead
This is an amazing Video, I just started MSFS and using my Virpil setup I was literally crashing everytime once I was in the air. I have to try messing with this tonight, thanks!
Great video. you mentioned heli a couple of times, which I'm more interested in. Would be good if you did a small updated video just on flying a G2 heli or the 407. I got a lot from the pitch examples you were showing, more interested in the one you mentioned for helicopters.
Watched the whole thing. Very useful! Thanks so much. Now, how about a similar video on throttle/prop axis sensitivities? I have Thrustmaster Airbus Quadrants with the reversers. It gets pretty tricky and requires separate sensitivities for jet, piston and turboprop. Thanks again!
Hi, EU citizen here, just amused by your "half an inch = 3 or 4 cm" :) But anyway, great videos, subscribed and liking every single one from you! Keep up the great work!
OK. First, glad you did this. It has been desperately needed, especially since MS/Asobo don't provide much documentation on MSFS. Question: You mentioned early on you will probably need a different sensitivity setting for each type of airplane. Does this mean you are using a different profile for each specific aircraft type (such as the 172, Bonanza, Baron, Citation, etc.) or do you use different ones for general aircraft type such as single piston, jet, turboprop, etc.?
But how do you get the nosewheel to steer on the ground - after landing and/or taxiing? I have no rudder pedals, only the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle Quadrant.
i have a logitech 3d pro and it works fine on any aircraft in msfs except the pmdg dc 6b , i have no pitch control and it crashes and i cant pull it up. Ailerons are very sluggish so im guessing its in the x y and z settings. Do you have a vid for this or bigger plane settings. This joystick works fine for 747 by the way.
Yet another GREAT tutorial. I have a Thrustmaster HOTAS and when I put my hand about 3" away, the rudder starts jumping around. Have you or any viewers experienced anything like that. I cannot find any reference to fix the problem??
I just go the velocityone flightstick what I'm struggling with is where to find this software you are using.. Any idea? and great explanation now if i can find the software!
BRAKE AXIS & REVERSE THRUST/PROPS for Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle's YAW This is what I have been wanting for quite a while now and then I cracked it. At first it was obvious to check if both LEFT & RIGHT BRAKE AXIS can combine to the same...they do but the middle is always at 50%. So how to tune this from just the Sensitivity Settings: (it was not the obvious way to do it). If you want your Index/Middle fingers to operate this with Z+ it doesn't as I found out. However, it does work for your Pinky Finger for Z- but you must set both to REVERSE else it does not work trying it all the opposite way for it all. Sensitivity- = 0 Sensitivity+ = 100 Dead Zone = 18 Neutral = -30 Extreme Dead Zone = 0 Reactivity = 100 Just what you need with sudden 1/2 Power then graded to Full.
BTW for the new Bombardier CRJ 500/700 one odes not need to do this. it's done on the tablet in the cockpit. Especially when using the TM Airbus throttle quadrant.
Just got my Bravo a couple weeks ago and the throttle/prop/mix all did not work at all. Cleared em out and rebound and they now register but not correctly. It turns my axis into a button rather than a sliding axis. The white bar disappears and the reverse axis box disappears and treats the lever like an on off switch. Can't find anyone having this issue either. Rebinding doesn't work past the initial issue of not registering at all. Sensitivity shows the levers sliding like they should so it's not the hardware. When I get home I might play with sensitivity settings and see if I get around bug ( kinda like rebinding). Idk.....anyone?
Going from a Warthog stick to a Boing TCA Yoke has been very painful. No matter what settings I use in game the Yoke just feels slow and disconnected in game.
Have you thought about cleaning the pots in you rudddr pedal? Sounds like the potentiometers are dirty. Get some electrical contact cleaner and spray some in to the pot and then work it in both directions a few time. It may take a few times for it to get more then acceptable and should buy somemore life out of them.
I wish they would make all of the control settings universal to work on all aircraft, I know having elevator axis pitch sensitivity set to.. let's say +/- 25% will work fine for the Beechcraft 58 Baron, but for some reason it's way too sensitive for the Beechcraft Bonanza or the Cessna 172. I know you can create a separate settings profile for every aircraft in the simulator but it's a hassle because you need to select the settings profile for the aircraft you're flying.
Have any of you had problems with the Honeycomb Yoke pitch control? For some reason, when I pull full aft on the yoke or push full forward, the elevator starts twitching halfway through making the airplane hard to control.
@@Deanjacob7 I figured out what was happening. I had a PS4 controller connected with USB and that was interfering with the yoke. Once I unplugged the PS4 controller, the yoke was perfect!
very good tutorial! but i have an strange issue, the cockpit throttle inside still moves, even when i dont move it myself, anyone else? -fixed: double axis assignment...
I have paddles on my throttle for rudder. Everyone think looks centered in sensitivity however when I take off I have to apply almost full left rudder to keep the plane on the runway. This is with all of the planes in the game. It completely drags me off the right side of the runway
Do you mean you need to apply "right" rudder (not "left")? If so, it's because it is a perfect simulation of this physical phenomenon (combined with the torque effect): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipstream#Spiral_slipstream
My issue is with my joystick(Thrustmaster TI6000) twist (Z axis) for rudder/steering control. The twist sensitivity settings seem to work ok when viewing the graph, but when taxiing, I twist left to turn left and nothing happens... nothing happens... a little more twist and suddenly the plane veers left and locks there. It doesn't return to neutral when I relax the joystick (numeric 5 resets to neutral). Because of this issue, I generally taxi using aileron with the rudder linked which is doable but not realistic. Is there a joystick setting to correct that? This is a fairly new joystick. This happens with any of the planes I fly. BTW, it's not just left... same thing turning right. Appreciate any help. Subsequent update : I have learned that you don't set the control on "Rudder Right", or Rudder Left", or "Rudder axis Right", or "Rudder axis Left". Simply use the "Rudder Axis" control and map the joy stick accordingly.
Thanks for the helpful guidance on sensitivity. Finally understanding a bit more. Hard to find info on this without folks like you helping out.
Now this is so helpful! Of all the FS videos, I find this answers the baffling (no manual) sensitivities.
You’re an excellent and knowledgeable presenter! You sound like scientist Phil Plait 🥰
All of your presentations on all of your subjects are brilliant thank you so much...
This needs to be in an essential guide playlist for MSFS 2020. Great work bro, keep it up!

Incredibly helpful! My rudder pedals were preventing my planes from flying straight!
I have been looking for this. Superbly done ! Thanks
Great video. Finally a good explanation for Microsoft's Reactivity controller setting.
Liked, subscribed.
Amazing explanations, thank you!!! Especially loved your helicopter control (or out of control) references! 😉
This really helped. Especially correcting a single prop tendency to drift left and dive in MS FSim (using my joystick anyway). Using the neutral points, I was able to get the aircraft to stay straight and level without using any trim.

Excellent! Just what I was looking for. I thank you for taking the time. I just migrated to MSFS2020 and my controller is outta hand.
Thank you my friend I finally understand control sensibility great video liked and subscribed
An Awesome explaination! YOU SIR are my hero. ;-) Keep em comin!
Great Vid. I was looking for this months ago.
@7:40 finally explained! This is what I needed. Thanks.
This is an amazing Video, I just started MSFS and using my Virpil setup I was literally crashing everytime once I was in the air. I have to try messing with this tonight, thanks!
Virpil setup, what's that?
How did you get the settings, I’m setting up Virpil rudder peddles! I can’t stay on runway with tutorials. Any help appreciated!
This vid, just solved half my problems. Thanks

Super helpful video mate, thank you so much
"automatic pilot" 😄 That was a really useful video. Made some tweaks as a result.
You explained why my flying is terrible - I drove a Miata for years. 😂
Watched the whole thing. Very useful! Thanks so much.

Thanks again!
Great explanation! Thank you.
OMG…you sound like Ron Reagan. Great videos…
Very well explained! Thank you! Maybe now i can get a better grade in training
Sounds like there needs to be a way to save a profile for every aircraft in MSFS. 🤔
Many thanks for this Super Presentation. Thank you.

thank you, setting up warthog and pedals for helis.
very imformative, thanks
Thanks a bunch ❤

whats the best for 747 ps4 controller for up down
BTW for the new Bombardier CRJ 500/700 one odes not need to do this. it's done on the tablet in the cockpit. Especially when using the TM Airbus throttle quadrant.
any recommendations for rudder pedals on MSFS, I have a thrustmaster Hoya stick.
So what works best for you in pitch? 25%?
i have a problem the aircraft rudder doesn't respond with turn fast

Maybe try to calibrate it threw your driver settings

@@ryannagai8295 good shit have fun simming
@@ryannagai8295 is it possible to use a PS4 controller?
@@maciek4257 I haven’t tried it out. It was interfering with my yoke so it probably does.
I’m having issues with the Logitech 3D pro stick making the aircraft bounce no matter what I do. It’s infuriating.
No matter what I do my yoke Y axis always climbs unless I have continual opposing pressure. Do you have any ideas that my fix that?
Sorry if this is too simple, but do you adjust your elevator trim?
Try adjusting trim, also when you apply power = nose up
Less power = nose down
Your power and trim will guide your nose up or down
Im having trouble with my rudder. For some reason it wont go back to neutral after I turn...... Logitech 3D
very good tutorial! but i have an strange issue, the cockpit throttle inside still moves, even when i dont move it myself, anyone else? -fixed: double axis assignment...
For a second I thought that was a real yoke and was wondering what brand it was.

Highly recommend flight school it explains this. You have to apply right rudder to compensate for the torque generated by the engine(s)

Check the settings for wind. Sometimes strong wind makes it impossible to steer into a certain direction.
i opened it up, then im like WTF?
Never compare a Joystick to a yoke !!!!!!!
