Joystick Axis Profiles - How do u do it?

As the title suggests, can everyone who reads this post their controller axis profile settings please?

I am not entirely happy with mine as they are and I am looking to tweak them a bit, anyways heres mine.

X=0 3 8 13 18 25 31 38 55 69 85 93 100
Y=0 3 8 13 18 25 31 38 55 69 85 93 100
Z=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100

X=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0
Y=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0
Z=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0

Nice idea of a thread. This should be stickied in the ACM&Tactics forum for trainees.

Same as Keets…

Spooky … same as Keets here too :eek:

There must be a bug or something … I set my sliders up independant of any advice and can’t believe every number would be the same.
Maybe the update reset them :confused:

It was actually the same setting suggested by Oleg in the UBI Forum…:smiley:

Pitch: 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100
Roll: All 100
Rudder: 50 50 50 50 50 55 60 75 85 100

0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0

‘0’ at the end? does that not put you back to zero input on the extreme end of the actual stick movement?

Hmm, maybe I need to check what settings I used to have, if I can find an old ini that haven’t been messed with by 1946… Though I’m pretty satisfied with the present setting.
Checked, same settings in a ini last modified in 2004-11-26.

No, if you look in conf.ini, there are twelve numbers per axis; in the Il-2 UI input setup screen, there are 10 numbers defining the response curve. I think the first and last numbers in the conf.ini series are for filtering or whatnot. Just look at the middle 10.

Mine are:
1X=0 25 28 32 37 44 52 62 73 86 100 0
1Y=0 43 45 48 52 57 64 71 79 89 100 0
I think. Or possibly Oleg’s numbers (there are lines beginning X and Y which have them, but I think those are for the pedals). But I’m using a yoke, not a joystick, and the two are probably quite different!

What’s wrong with the current setup?

What’s wrong with the current setup?

Just not happy with it, aircraft that I should be able to out turn and have out turned pre-1946 I sometimes struggle with now.

Thats an interesting observation about the first and last digits though, I must confess I had not noticed before, so in game my smallest input has been 3 and my greatest 93, so I have been missing out on some very important small moves and ultimately I have not been getting full control surface deflection at what I thought was maximum input.

The first “0” and the “0” on the end, pertains to the deadzone and filtering options (can’t remember which one it is) that you can see when you setup your axis in IL2.

my smallest input has been 3 and my greatest 93

Each number represents 10% of your stick movement.
e.g looking at your setup:
at 10% of stick movement you have a maximum of 3% of in game deflection of control surface. (Nepe has 55%, so his setup would be more sensitive at lower stick inputs)
All the way up to 100% stick movement you have 100% of in game deflection of control surface.

Your stick settings will only affect the sensitvity of your joystick not your ability to out turn any particular aircraft. Don’t forget that 1946 introduced a more complex and updated FM, that may well be the reason that we can now no longer out turn pre '46 aircraft

However Classic on the other hand has a totally fecked up set up :slight_smile:

The top setting of 93 is a concern as is the “100” at the end. Which means he has either a massive deadzone of an incredible movement filter which will make his aircraft respond like a spoon in a tin of treacle. :slight_smile:

Classic try this utility out

EDIT: If anyone fancies a 1v1 against Classic, now’s the right time to do it :smiley:

respond like a spoon in a tin of treacle.

That just about sums it up :smiley: hence the somethings not quite right and I want it tweaked :wink:

Pitch: 73,76,79,82,100,100,100,100,100,100
Roll: 73,76,79,82,100,100,100,100,100,100
Yaw: 100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100

I have a Saitek X-36 by the way.

Pitch… 11,17,24,29,36,46,60,75,88,100.
Roll… 9,12,17,25,32,43,54,68,81,100.
Yaw… 7,13,21,34,45,57,65,77,90,100.

Now this is funny (or something)…

I flew a little yesterday, and changed my settings, pitch and roll changed, increased the responce on the lower end, and this is the result:

[rts_joystick]

1V=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0

So what exactly is the first two lines?

Look below…

From: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Knowledge_Base&op=show&kid=261

Now this looks very daunting at first, but don’t be disheartened. Each line corresponds to one controller axis and six of the first seven lines don’t even apply unless you’re flying an early patch version (pre v1.04) of the original IL2 Sturmovik game.

The line FF=0 is the Force Feedback toggle. If you’re using a force feedback joystick and have forces switched on it will be set FF=1.

The lines we’re interested in start with the line beginning “1X=…”. The lines beginning 1X, 1Y, 1RX, 1RZ, 1U, 1V & 1Z correspond to the Windows ID#1 controller (there may be more or less in your file, depending on the number of axes present on your controllers). The lines corresponding to the ID#2 controller begin 1X1, 1Y1, 1RX1, 1RZ1 etc. If you have more controllers plugged in you will also have 1X2, 1Y2, 1RX2, 1RZ2 etc for Windows ID#3 and so forth. Though the author has never tested, it is believed that the IL2 series supports up to four controllers.

After the axis designation tag at the start of each line there are twelve numbers. The numbers correspond to the slider control in the Hardware Setup / Input screen in the game, though that screen only has sliders for the controller showing in Windows as ID#1.

The first number in each line corresponds to the deadband setting for that axis, the last number is the filtering setting and the ten numbers in between correspond to the ten sensitivity sliders found in the game’s joystick setup screen. In order to set up your primary flight controller with the same sensitivity as you had before installing your second controller, you’ll need to identify which line correspond to the axes of your second controller. When you assigned axes in the game controls screen you made notes of the axis designations. If you didn’t, start the game now and write them down. The designations used there usually correspond as shown in the following table:

Controller Controls Screen conf.ini
ID#1 X-Axis 1X
ID#1 Y-Axis 1Y
ID#1 X-Axis Rotation 1RX
ID#1 Z-Axis Rotation 1RZ
ID#1 U-Slider 1U
ID#1 V-Slider 1V
ID#2 X-Axis ID2 1X1
ID#2 Y-Axis ID2 1Y1
ID#2 X-Axis Rotation ID2 1RX1
ID#2 Z-Axis Rotation ID2 1RZ1
ID#2 U-Slider ID2 1U1
ID#2 V-Slider ID2 1V1

Thanks Nepe, I was about to post something similar but your info is much more comprehensive.
