FS2020: Setting up the Logitech Flight Yoke System and alleviating the Deadzone!

[@jaspert.4498]

In what way are they not working properly? What yoke do you have?

Hello Huddison, you are one of the all-time best at this type of video. You speak clearly and AT A NORMAL PACE. Many of the others appear to be chased by someone. They race along forgetting that they know this stuff , but we don't. I am sick of having to rewind all the time to actually follow them. Thanks mate.

[@Huddison]

That's hugely appreciated, thank you :)

[@drobin5]

I had been having a problem with the NEO not following the flight plan after take-off and then banking sharply left. After working at this for the last 3 days, after following your settings in your video, I am pleased to announce that your settings cured my autopilot problem and I completed a successful Leeds to Charles de Gaule flight. Many Thanks Dave

This is a life saver I was worrying about if I would hate my new yoke system aka this one because of the dead zone and camera view it is a relief thanks.

[@Huddison]

Happy to be of help

[@garrettnievin5812]

I got a Logitech yoke (and installed Windows; normally I'm all-Linux) for FS 2020. A problem I had with mine was the roll axis was centered too far left; the raw values coming from the driver in the range 0-1023 were returning in the low 400s for roll, while being at a dead-center 512 for pitch. I downloaded and used the Logitech calibration tool (from which I was able to get the above raw values and see that it was centering too far left), but it would revert after a reboot and sometimes not seem to work at all? It was a simple matter to open the yoke by undoing all the screws on the bottom, removing the bottom cover, and adjusting the roll potentiometer until it was properly centered. It's a standard potentiometer, held in place by a single collar nut; slightly loosening the nut with a wrench, or even careful work with a pliers, allows you to rotate the potentiometer until it is in the desired position. Both axes are spot-on 512 centered now, and I'm no longer having to hold right yoke all the time. Much easier than bending the aileron trim tab and test-flying on a real Cessna.

[@Huddison]

That sounds like an interesting & relatively easy fix. It may well be of help to some; thanks for sharing.

To set up the view to move it freely with the joystick, you should go to controls settings instead of general settings, then you assign each direction the joystick goes (up, down, right, left, up-right, up-left, down-right and down-left) to the cockpit camera settings

[@danielecarmona]

I have your same Yoke and pedals and throttle, I tried many times to find the right settings for sensivity, but I got illusional feelings, always i was coming back and still I'm to the settings for changing the sensivity, i found that even if you put -50 on X axes and Y, it wouldn't be reactive and after 20 degrees it starts to accelerate like A boost, so i found that the more stable settings is +9 that is reactive and constant in all the rotation and seems not having any acceleration passing the 20° or 25° of X rotation, then i removed a spring from the Y axes inside the controller, infact there are 2 springs one below and one above, i removed one and i put more grease into mechanical parts, especially on plastics parts, i even removed a plastic ring that avoid to exceed the rotation of the X axes, this is a double ring joint together that give a lot of friction on the axes x and y, plus i screwed two screwes on a ring that rotate attached on the metal pole for avoiding that the X axes would pass the 45° because if it would does it the wheel on the potentiometer would disingage, of course i removed the metal spring on the X axes because in a real plane doesn't exist a system for recentering the yoke because it's not a car (I'm a student private ppl pilot) so now it's free to move, after these mods I can say it's a better Yoke, I found very disappointing the logitech quality, I mean they did a great job with car steering wheels putting a forceback with little engines and thanks to the engines the feeling is so real,here instead they just put together a plastic empty with two potentiometers and nothing more, plus I don't understand why limit to 45° the X axes.

Joystick control in FS2020 is totally and utterly fucked up on most sticks on the market and the sensitivity setting do not work, it just make input lag larger... When I fly the Beach-craft 350 and turn the joystick it take 2 seconds before it reacts to a roll, (up and down works perfectly fine and linear). Also when it finally reacts it does not mimic what the joystick do, it react same as if you are using a keyboard to fly. Meaning no matter how little you turn the stick it reacts and it does not react how much you push on the stick but for how LONG you keep the stick in the position. Only way to actually fly is to use the joystick like it was a keyboard pumping it, this is just ridiculous and internet is full of people complaining about it. Some people say they have no problem at all but most say their joystick simply is unusable in FS2020 and I am one of them with my Logitech Force Feedback 3d pro. Even stranger is that all the above only is for the roll, up and down works perfectly fine and linear with no input lag...

[@danielecarmona]

@@a64738 I've solved going on Options, flight model, and changing from Legacy To Modern, for me now it works fine, I've reducing even a bit the sensivity but just for 13%, cause Saitek pro flight has 45° of roll angle so it makes like double any angle you roll, don't forget that a real airplane have 90° angle

[@a64738]

@@danielecarmona Could not even take of with legacy setting lol. But I got the old stick working thanks to this: Ready Meals 2 months ago Hey, don't use those flight control settings, make sure to map it to the the aileron AXIS/ elevator AXIS. Otherwise, it won't recenter and it is a digital input, meaning that it either, for example, goes 100% on the ailerons instead of a analogue control where you can make very slight movements. Make sure to do this for rudder, throttle, ailerons and elevator. I was just about to order a new stick to get it working, was olso considering getting a refound. But now it works perfectly fine :)

Happy to hear that! BTW if you want improve your game peripheral you can go to hardware properties in windows and calibrating it, I removed all the dead zone that I got by default.

[@a64738]

@@danielecarmona No dead zone on my stick, and no way to calibrate it. All that is missing for my stick. But it works even it it is a bit to sensitive.

THE BEST TUTORIAL I SAW

[@VoicelessScream]

Thanks for your videos (this one and others), they convinced me to take the plunge and buy this yoke system. I was using the x52 HOTAS previously and I'm very glad I made the switch. I do miss the mouse control but can get by with my actual mouse. What I haven't figured out however is .. rudder. How can you control the rudder with this setup ? I haven't purchased the equally expensive rudder pedals and since there is no twist motion on this one I'm stuck. Am I missing something ? Thanks!

[@Huddison]

Great to hear that you decided to buy the yoke system. It doesn't come with rudder control; your options are to either assign one of the rocker switches to rudders, or to use something like the keyboard or Xbox 360 triggers (which is what I used to do), until you can get hold of actual rudder pedals.

[@VoicelessScream]

@@Huddison I did try mapping it to one of the rocker but they only register as adding left or adding right and do not return the rudder to its neutral position when released. Is there something in msfs 2020 under the config I could change for that to work ? My setup is pretty clunky as it is, I can barely reach the keyboard. will have to tinker :) Thanks again!

[@Huddison]

Also tried using a 12 volt power adapter after painstakingly finding a DC adapter that fits the unusualy sized DC port on the yoke. Didn't work even then it even wound up shorting out my USB hub trying the 12 volt plug. For the record I did try a 5 volt adapter but that didn't work ether.

Also tried installing the proper driver program but it says I need to plug it in even before I can proceed though it is plugged in and was getting some power fron the USB hub ans 12 volt adapter.

Oh dear, that's not good news. Simply plugging the USB in from the Yoke system to your PC should be enough to power it up. Yours might well be DOA unfortunately, if you have no power displayed on the Yoke system after plugging it in the traditional way.

[@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze]

I’ve got a MAJOR problem with this yoke in MFS2020. The axis for roll is centered but any input left or right sends the axis completely to 0 or maxed out. The pitch axis is not centered, and when the yoke is in resting position it says the pitch is maxed out. If I try to pull up the axis does nothing, but if I push with even the slightest input, the axis immediately shoots to zero. My throttle quadrant works fine and so do my rudder pedals and console controller. I tried sensitivity... nothing. I tried to calibrate the yoke with the software built into my computer and the yoke works just fine there. It’s something with the translation to MSFS2020 that’s messed up. I tried going to the subreddit and the forums and the best answer those smoothbrains could come up with is sensitivity, which isn’t the answer, because it’s the axis detection itself. I’ve searched everywhere for an answer to this and found nothing. Somebody please help me for the love of god.

[@djtaylorutube]

I can't do it with the native FS assignments but Spad.Next (which in my view is essential if you want to get the most out of your Saitek parts), this is easy to do. Just assign the reverser buttons to the simconnect interface and send THROTTLE_SET event with value -3277 for full reverse thrust. If you want to assign multiple levers individually then send THROTTLE_SET1, THROTTLE_SET2 etc. against each lever. Illustrative picture here: gyazo.com/f78fbd94195d555d8a7f1ab251b75013

My brother (86!) has a problem with the Saitek in MSFS and cannot find the graphs for deadzone and sensitivity, showed in your video.

After that it seems that you cannot use the Saitek any more in FSX. Any comment on this?

Deadzone and sensitivity are not showing up atm - seems to be a bug with latest patch. A few people have mentioned this in my comments; hopefully it'll be fixed soon!

[@gistudios4281]

i have axis signed and working in options...... But the ailerons/elevator not work in game. Any help?

Hmm that's a strange one - I would try a different USB port on your PC and then, if that doesn't work, reassign the axis's.

[@Huddison]

Another thing that I would try is ensuring that you have the correct profile selected for your yoke, assuming that you have made more than 1 profile (in options). Or even, create a new profile and see if your axis work with that.
