For me the best setting on my saitek av8r is 0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90 and filter set to mid-point and deadzone set to 5 ticks from left. the av8r is a very accurate stick and slight input form it translates into large movements on screen. One of my 1st lessons to new students is to tell them to hold the controls with a very light touch. NO DEATH GRIPS! especially when lining up for a kill! If u do find yourself bouncing around simply let go and then with a very light touch grap the stick and make small controlled movements. Even I find my self holding onto the stich as if I'll fall to my death if I don't hold on tight! lol!

If u don't know where to find these then goto hardware setup the lower right hand button in the main menu screen! good luck. Oh! One more thing practice! practice! practice!

pretty much what I told you ,light touch and trim trim trim,
I too have quite a few hours with a Private licence (OTT and a Night rating)with time on Cherokee's and warrior's as well as a 1952 Cessna 170 tail dragger(which I own), 172, 152 and 150 tail dragger.I also have time on a RV6 taildragger.I've got time on floats as well as tundra tires.As well as time onto many experimental aircraft to write about as we have been building kit planes for years,my one uncle fly's a homebuilt(from blueprints) tigermoth.

I don't need to brag my hours as I have been flying for quite a few years(since I was a kid).Here in Canada you may Solo at 14 years of age,I grew up next to CFB Moose Jaw ,home of Canada's Snowbirds,they turn left base overtop of our farm.When we take off from our airstrip we have to comunicate with the tower at CFB MJ and the actual pilots of the Snowbirds,as we live under there control zone.I have talked many times to pilots from the Snowbirds on the radio and in person.My Father worked 28 years on the Airbase as well as farmed beside it.My father and his two brothers are all crop dusters as well as farmers in the Bread Basket of the World,Saskatchewan Canada.We grow more wheat here than the whole world does combined!

Snowbirds are stationed in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan ,Canada,because we get more clear flying days per year than anywhere else in Canada.

As for the stick settings I "suggested" there a starting point ,tweak to taste.

The left sliders tweak the center area around your stick travel while the right sliders tweak
the outside area of your stick travel.So by setting the 5 left sliders at 50 the stick will not be so sensitive near the center area of travel,until you get use to it.

It a suggestion,thats all

Bearcat's link is to the exact same program that I linked you !

Just trying to help,didn't think I needed to add my credentials
