These are my personal settings for IL2. I
prefer a zero deadband and smaller range of
motion.
This creates a tight stick where any
reaction creates a result.
MS FFB2 Issues and possible corrections
No Center
Tension - Mostly experienced by Via chipset
users in MS OS before Win XP , loss of center tension can make your stick feel
like a wet noodle. You can correct this by downloading
the VIA chipset patch from
MS Sidewinder site .
Do not confuse this
with the actual in game low tension at lower speeds (
under 220 kmph). IL2 at lower speeds, I feel properly
models the lack of stick stiffness and in fact has made
me much more aware of my Energy state. By setting
the center tension and FFB to high in MS Sidewinder
settings you should feel noticeable tension at 220 kmph
and higher. On my system I do not notice the tension at
lower settings as much as I would like.
