The A2A Simulations Community

Scott, we have the controller yoke offered in the sim bundle as well as a Saitek yoke. Elevator works instantly, but alerions have large null on either yoke. (sensitivity is far right, null is full left) and flying is really difficult the slower speed, slower is the response on the control. Could there be drivers to be updated or any other suggestion you might have to help solve it?
I couldn't find where to get the short video, but I think it may show where we now have our settings.....frustrating. Thanks

Hello Earl,

sounds like you have some controller issues. I'd suggest posting in one of the tech support forums, ideally the aircraft with which you encounter it mosts forum and then we can help you troubleshoot your sim settings and help better advise on if you might want to have a dust of your kits internals or if new drivers/software might be recommended.

thanks,
Lewis

Thank you. I'll try that.

Well, I was headed up here to get some input on sensitivity settings using FSUIPC, but I didn't think I'd run into so many people who don't use it or even understand it. One comment I have to make is that I use FSUIPC because I can set my Saitek X-55 controllers differently for each of my aircraft, from my lowly little J3 Cub to my P-51 to my PMDG 737 and 777. All of those little switches, knobs and axes can do different things in different planes.

Other than that, what I was going to ask for was suggestions on setting the sensitivity in FSUIPC for max effect with the A2A planes. Real Air suggests a setting of around 50% for the Turbine Duke, and A2A wants "full right" on the sliders. But I use FSUIPC exclusively - no FSX controller settings or Saitek controller settings - so the "fine tuning", so to speak, has to be accomplished in other ways.

Obviously, I will go to Pete Dowson's page for the definitive answers.

Not sure if you'll see this response, but for A2A airplanes, the idea is that the sim experience has been calibrated for most realism (control responsiveness) with the sliders far right using the default FSX control settings.

Obviously everyone's controllers have different weight, travel, centering, etc.

If you want to tweak things, that is all a matter of preference. Personally I like to not tweak everyone plane and leave the control sensitivities mapped one way and learn to fly each aircraft by different feel. IRL each aircraft has a different feel, and while the home controllers can't do this justice this is as close as one will get for now at their desk.

Scott, Do you have any multi engine jet aircraft with thrust reverse? I don't know any other way to set up reverse thrust without FSUIPC. Works great for TOGA, AP disconnect, etc. Just wondering what you use. BTW I am hooked now on A2A products, I have the 172, 182 and soon to get the comanche. I did my real world complex commercial in a 1959 250. One of the best aircraft ever built.

We do, have the 377, but it's a prop and we had to make a custom system for thrust reverse to work.

I'm glad you like the Comanche - it truly is one of the world's greatest planes ever made.

Scott.

I also use FSUIPC.. never used the the FSX to control..

Did you find a solution FSUIPC.. setup..
otherwise ACCUFEEL is useless for me if I can't use it with FSUIPC setting.. the A2A Cessna 172 with flaps down veers to left and gets into darn spin and recovery id impossible..in spite of full opposite rudder... with no effect...

I might be looking for a refund.. on this..

Later..

I would respectfully suggest you hang in on this as I know for an absolute certainty that whatever is causing your issue is local. I and hundreds of others don't have the issue.
Hang in, people will help you get it sorted out.

There's no problem whatsoever in using FSUIPC to set up controller axes. Though I haven't been using FSUIPC for long compared to many (just a month or two), setting up aileron, elevator and rudder axes for the A2A products was just as straightforward as with any other aircraft. After tinkering for a week or so with very small slope values, I finally settled on a slope of 0 for the elevator and ailerons with a slope of (I think) about 1-2 used for the rudder. These settings I apply to everything for now: not just the A2A stuff.

As far as I'm aware, this translates pretty-much to the 'full sensitivity' settings recommended if using the default FSX control sliders. I use a small null zone in each axis, but just to account for the slight wobbliness of my ageing Logitech joystick. I find the FSUIPC filtering option also helps with the latter issue.

A2A + FSUIPC = ¡no hay problema!

Vipan - have you checked the maintenance hangar (shift + 7) for problems like a stuck flap hinge or broken actuator causing your flaps to deploy asymmetrically?

Nick

Nick,

It's a Bingo!! I just overhauled the aircraft.. and then flew couple of pattern and it works good now... what a bummer.. I hate tweaking.. like to fly more than tweaking FSX... I adjusted sensivity of Rudder also in FSUIPC.. it seems to work..



Thanks Nick

Vipan

Thanks Dudley..
Nick.. helped me out there.. I had to overhaul the A2A Cessna seems the flaps was broken...
Now it works just fine.. I even adjusted the sensitivity of the rudder etc..

Like said to Nick.. I hate wasting time on tweaking.. spend more time flying..

take care my friend..

Best Regards,

Vipan

I wouldn't call the hangar tweaking, but rather a key element of flying and issues will only normally occur due to flying, so treat her right and all will be well. Also don't forget those pre-flight walk around's, they will help you spot any issues like broken flaps long before you start the engine.

For when you do want to turn the realism off just use the shift + 3 menu to turn damage off.

The manual for your simulation is under your start menu >> all programs >> A2A Simulations

thanks,
Lewis

You're welcome Vipan. As Lewis pointed-out, just use the "DAMAGE OFF" option in the shift + 3 menu if you don't want to worry about the Accu-Sim failure/damage modelling. (For example, exceeding speed limitations for flap deployment may have caused the issue you encountered.)

Cheers,
Nick

Don't have the 250,but I will. Watched the intro video and was greatly impressed
Have set my sensitivities and it sure makes a difference....much smoother !!
