I have a Saitek X52 flight control system. Does anyone know if it is possible to tighten the joystick so it requires more pressure to move? I know how to do it for the throttle.

The stick's tightness is created by a very obvious and visible spring right below it, which I'm sure it cannot be adjusted. Only solution would be dis[Mod - Happy Thoughts]embly of the joystick and replacement with a tighter spring which of course needs to be of the exact same dimensions. So, is it possible? Yes and no, depending on your expertise in modding equipment. It's a no for me...

I wish it was easy. I flew a full motion a320 simulator and was surprised on how much 'tighter' that joystick was compared to mine. I got used to it really quickly though!
