Anyone else have problems controlling yaw?

Has anyone suggested that you should "Git Gud!" Yet?

Sorry couldn't resist...

I fly the Sidewinder Pro 3D, and Live by Joystick Twist for Yaw Axis...

Hadn't noticed YoYo too much until I bought my Beluga, this Ship Flies like a Bloody Saw Fish.
Course Corrections turn into an Amusement Park Ride...

I get Similar problems driving my SRV's with my Sidey Pro...
I've learned to make TINY Adjustments while Driving, unless I want to do Donuts...

I get the Feeling flying the Beluga will require a Deft Hand and Minimal Fine Adjustments...

Beyond that I Suggest you Fly Drunk, High, Stoned or All The Avove!
It Certainly Works For Me...!

(El Edito) You might try increasing the Size of your "Dead Spot" for the Yaw Axis in your (Ingame) Control Settings... That Might Help Some...

Shot Time!!!

It really depends on the stick though. I got used to the T16000M over the summer. Going back to the x52 Pro was not only a mistake, but had a really adverse affect on my accuracy. It's so spongy and its sensors are so poor that I yo-yo with it on the pitch and yaw axes, even with FA-on. I'm in a bit of a bind because the trigger on my T16000M is, by my own hand, a bit shonky - the trigger on the x52 has a lovely long travel and a pretty robust switch which got me in to the bad habit of squeezing hard on it.

TBH I am probably expecting way too much from a twist stick yaw output.

The FDL/Vulture etc with engineered thrusters are very sensitive ships. Adding yaw to the stick and then you are doing combat manoeuvres... grip of death? You're going left, right up down and a bit of twist always ends up full range. Which is why the Python goes OK, much less sensitive, in game damping so to speak.

So I've either got to get pedals or live with it!

-------

FDL/Vulture = YoYo

Corvette = not enough Yaw

Python = OK!

At the moment I prefer twist to pedals, but that's because that's what I've used for ten years. I have a pair of Thrustmaster yaw pedals. They're a bit too close together for my liking - I'm pretty tall and have, since I bought the pedals, noticed that I sit with my knees apart, which is difficult to do with the pedals.

I had that. It turned out that there are two ways of binding yaw to the joystick movement and I'd done it wrong in the controls menu.

One option is to bind yaw left to the twist-left movement, and similarly for yaw right.

The other option is to bind yaw axis to the joystick movement in one setting.

The first one makes the control digital with a large dead zone. The second one gives true proportional movement.

Now that's a proper answer. Rep+

I totally missed that!

I'll be trying that tonight, thanks!

Same stick, - perhaps try enabling/disabling yaw into roll to see which works better for you? I find it easier to control when disabled, but I also have yaw set as the twist axis.
