I use a T.16000M, Thrustmaster joystick coupled with a TWCS Thrustmaster throttle with ED.
I have issues with the joystick 1) not holding calibration and 2) not returning to center.
At first I figured it was a mechanical or electrical issue with the stick itself. I tested it with IL-2 Sturmovick, IL-2 Stalingrad, X-Plane 11.31, Rise of Flight and about 5 different planes in DCS. No problems with any of them. They hold calibration and return to center (takes about a second for the light to go out).
Not SO with ED. After about 1/2 hour or so there is a noticable drift in flight, especially in the pitch. Sometimes the joystick light that shows not centered never goes out and if it does it can take multiple seconds and then only if you fiddle with it. I've lubed the ball up on the stick using dampening grease which was recommended on this forum (in an unrelated thread) with no joy. ED still won't hold cal. (made a difference in mechanical feel though)
Unplugging the joystick while in main menu, waiting 30 seconds to a minute gets cal back and it will work again in game for another 30 minutes or so.
I've tried setting dead zones. No go. they have to be huge to make the issue go away but then your ship becomes uncontrollable because the controls instantly go from 0 to some way higher value when the stick leaves the dead zone.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Only happens with ED. Any ideas how to fix it (not messing with TM Target to set custom response curves - been there done that - ED doesn't like it - sees it as a whole other HOTAS and doesn't recognize the seperate throttle and stick - I could be doing something wrong of course).
Not a game killer but annoying as h.ell.
IDEAS?
ASIDE: This stick has had this problem with ED since the 1st day I bought it about a year ago when my Saitek X-52 went to joystick heaven. At first I didn't notice it - just corrected for it - but for what ever reason (I don't know why) the issue is just getting more and more annoying and since the issue doesn't exist with any other program I have to believe the root cause is ED. If not so be it. If so - then thanks for any ideas to resolve it that can be passed my way.
