Can't check if ED has linearity/gamma curve options like it does for the mouse, but you can use a utility like dxtweak/dxtweak2 to make the motion less linear.
 
Funny, I'd like the opposite. I like my sticks completely linear and ED currently has a very steep curve with the first 50% doing practically nothing. My X-52 Pro is linear in everything else, just here that it's completely desensitized in the first half of the throw. They ought to just toss in a linearity slider. It's easy to program in and makes everyone happy provided they do it right.
 
yes yes yes yes was ready to smash the joystick up and uninstall lol

i bet iam not lol, but this is a great introduction to what looks like a great community. i can now start enjoying the game :)
 
Hi,

Been dogfightning lately and I think there is too much sensitivity of the joystick when moving it small amounts ie. holding a ship in the crosshair at 1km away. It is very easy to over compensate on the stick and loose target.

Setting deadzone to higher is no good, only prevents movement.

What I would like is to lower the sensitivity of the stick when moving it small amounts.

No mine feels perfect.

What stick are you using?
 
Depends which stick you are using! I have the X52 pro, which i can configure with the profile editor software that comes with the stick. you can set sensitivities there for all axis's
 
wait a minute.... do these Saitek Joysticks need repair and stuff? I dont want to buy a €150 euro stick and break it within a week... :/
 
No mine feels perfect.

What stick are you using?

I have the X52 Pro. But have not installed the software for it. Just plugged in and go. So going to test the software then and do as Judge suggest set exis sensitivity

@captinhook :) With your comment in mind my post is quite funny
 
The Joystick & Controller discussion thread.

I have bought the Black Widow Speedlink Stick and when I am on the game there is no preset for it. When i have searched other people have the dropdown and it does work on other games. Can anyone help me?
 
Did you plug it in before or after starting the game? It used to not recognise any controller you added after start (you are now meant to be able to add controllers after the game starts but this might not be all)

You might be able to find a default HOTAS set up in the list even if it's not your exact model.
 
If you plugged it in after after starting the game it will not recognize the Joystick.
Restart the game if neccesary. Also are you sure that Windows had finished installing the drivers?
 
Where are the Warthog throttle and joystick presets ?????????????

For the last few beta's there has been a single Elite preset for both the warthog throttle and joystick in the control menu, I use it so it does not take me 2 hours of wasted time to input every control manually into the system......Where is it in 1.0 please Devs ?????
I have ''generic joystick'' only as an option in the control menu now, nothing for a throttle, bring back the presets please, it's not asking for much to ask to have what presets were already in there....back in there please.
Anybody else missing these presets chaps..???
 
I had same issues....some of the movement works but not all....

Worked fine in windows and other games but not now in ED....

I had to shutdown the game, reboot windows, remove joystick from usb, re-insert into usb and restart the game....seems to pick it up now, although through the training missions it is not remembering your keyboard changes/setup....

Soldiering on.....
 
The game is not seeing my Warthog throttle or joystick, they have the latest drivers and are..were plugged in before the game and computer loaded up, so it is not just ''barghie'' who is having some new problems, as expected I guess.
 
I have the Black Widow, I haven't had any problems with it, it was selectable from the dropdown. However I have modified the bindings to suit me.
 
Joysticks?

I have yet to play ED yet but I did end up preordering. I'm curious if a lot of people find joysticks as a good way of playing this game. I haven't used a joystick since Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for PC. I'd like my first experience with this game to be excellent. With that in mind does anyone know of any reasonably priced Joysticks to go along with it?
