Daniel Macfarlane 1033470 Posted March 8, 2011 at 03:26 AM Posted March 8, 2011 at 03:26 AM I just bought X-plane 9 for giggles and to see what X-plane is really about ( Seeing the recent screenshots, I will be also buying X-plane 10 ). I am having some trouble setting up my Saitek flight controls. Does anyone know any tutorials that could help me set it up? Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Smith Posted March 9, 2011 at 01:37 AM Posted March 9, 2011 at 01:37 AM A new user recently asked me how to configure X-Plane to get the best results...here was the summary I posted with the time I had. - set video rendering options to give you the best visual experience whilst still having a nice, healthy frame rate (30+). The product of density and visibility of objects will have the most direct impact on your framerates (in v9) - all joystick axis and buttons mapped to meet your needs - realize that xplane is always calibrating the joystick in real time. Be sure to the move the controls through their full range of motion each time you start xplane - make sure that when all controls are released that xplane shows 0 input on all axis (use Settings->Data Input & Ouput, row 4 or 8, I forget which, column 4 for visual output) - set realism sliders to full realism. The artificial stability introduced by the default 25% setting makes the flight feel like it's running on rails. That's not how GA airplanes fly. They waddle and wallow. - use exponential sensitivity to mute the response about the center. This will give you more fine grain control for subtle movement.
