due to the FBW and the large control surfaces, the A380 is generally regarded by pilots as very responsive and ‘light on the controls’. However, I found that it was rather sluggish in its response. I have got the WINCTRL Sidestick.

Hi,

Are you using any sensitivity curves on your joystick?

Having flown the aircraft with the Thrustmaster TCA, I have not noticed any "sluggish" behaviour.

Thanks!

maybe I have the wrong settings? can you recommend some?

1. Go to Settings, then open Controls.

2. Select Your Device: Click the tile or name of your specific joystick, yoke, or rudder pedals on the screen. Do not select the keyboard or mouse.

3. Open Sensitivity: Look for the Sensitivity or Axis Tuning button/panel for that specific controller.

Let me know if you have any curves set, or if it is linear.

Thanks!

in my settings its linear with a little deadzone.

Ok, thanks.

I actually had to add a curve as I found it to be too sensitive at linear.

You can always make adjustments and fine tune your experience using those curves.

Thanks again!

how does your curve look like?
