FS2020: These 2 New Sensitivity settings make a HUGE difference - must watch and try!

*Note* I worded Extremity Dead-zone incorrectly; I kept referring to it as 'Extreme'. All fairly typical in my videos - I recorded this before my second cup of tea 😉.
Here is a forum post which goes into further detail about what the Extremity Dead-zone and Reactivity settings are and do (possibly):

You saved my day! Thank you very much for this tutorial on sensitivity. I have an old microsoft sidewinder joystick, and I assigned flight controls from your controller setup video. Next, I tweeked the sensitivity settings to what you displayed on your sensitivity setting preciseness video. Oh my goodness, these settings from your videos completely made the difference on my joystick and flying as realistic (and feel) as possible for the game purposes of MSFS 2020. I was about ready to get a refund and give up on MSFS 2020. Now, I can enjoy the game and it's amazing 2020/2021 graphics and modern features! Thank you, Huddison!

[@dantheman7357]

Another home-run for Huddison!! I have the Premium Deluxe FS2020 for 4 days now and I hated how the airplanes fly. Like you, I love Xplane 12 flight dynamics so the FS2020 was a big letdown. I kept adjusting things but nothing seemed to help much...........until now! your new sensitivity settings have TRANSORMED how the airplanes fly. As a RL Pilot I know how an airplane feels in the air and you described it perfectly. I used the Cessna Caravan for my testing because I wanted an airplane that was just heavy enough to show the attributes of the new settings. Well, I am thrilled that I can now fly FS2020 AND Xplane 12 and enjoy them both. Actually, my FS2020 now flies a bit more realistically than Xplane 12! Its heavenly. Thank you once again for your excellent help in these formerly frustrating matters. I pity my lovely Wife, she will have to endure my long-winded explanations of how much I love this now. Actually, she supports all of my Aviation activities, so I am blessed.

You are so right, great find. Becomes so control like.

[@chilloutvibesforyou]

Many thanks for this. I have an old Logitech Attack 3. I tried a few settings as the sensitivity was like a jerky roller coaster ride and now so far I have found the following may be helpful to others for a start if the video settings are still not working. All sensitivities -100, Dead Zone 1%, Extreme Deadzone between -85% and -95%, Reactivity 95% approx. I will keep refining.

[@rymdskrotet]

Which settings are you using generally today?

[@flightsimflyeruk]

Totally agree with you. The sense of inertia, or slightly sluggish response of the aircraft that the "Reactivity" setting introduces is such a jump in dynamics. Much less twitchy. Much more of a sense of weight behind the controls. I like about 80% for yaw and pitch. I have some in the rudder too but still fiddling with that.

Thanks for the update. I had not used the sim for a bit, and there was an update. 6 hours and 50 minutes later it was installed !! I have never had a update/ patch ever take this long. Normally it’s around 30 minutes or less. When I checked the content manager I found another 140. Luckily you can be selective. When I restarted I found the default airliners were missing. All good fun. I used your settings in the new sensitivity add ons , and yes they do make a difference. I have applied them to the Logitech Yoke, and my foot pedals Also as a matter of interest I have purchased the Waco WYMF5. If you like biplanes this is well worth the £ 12.99 . Very highly detailed. It takes a bit of practice to take off and land. There is a lot of torque from the 300 bhp rotary engine. It also sounds very accurate. All the switches make a nice click as well. The smoke switch works , but it’s not supported yet.

[@Huddison]

Hi Frank, I adore Biplanes; the First World War and the Knights of the Sky is one of my favourite eras of history to read and research, I particularly enjoyed Wings (a Commodore Amiga game) back in the day; not very realistic, but it had a fascinating diary which was displayed before each mission. So many thanks, I will look into the Waco WYMF5 and most likely buy it.

[@Huddison]

Welcome to the club ;)

[@xhector]

The reactivity is just slowing down your inputs if you move the joystick too fast. Basically set the reactivity to 0% Move the joystick quick and you will see how it will move it in the sim slowly. If you move the joystick with the speed corresponding the reactivity settings your input and the output in the game will be same (1:1). That what is doing the reactivity. Not letting you to make fast movements. Outputs your commands with slower speed. This is useful if you have bigger curve in sensitivity. When you reach the most steep part of your curve, the reactivity comes very handy. IF you failed to understand again. Go to the axis settings and move your joystick while trying different reactivity settings. :)

[@Huddison]

It was just a very early morning overview video & you're correct - next time I will properly test before posting - though, it was more to bring attention of these new settings, as many (including myself prior to the post day) didn't know of them ;)

Thanks for all the great information in your videos! I am new to flight simulators and FS2020. I purchased the Logitech Yoke yesterday and have just been doing some of the basic training. I would be very interested in your other settings for your yoke - not just sensitivity. Any chance you could do a "Complete Settings" video or point me somewhere that has details on that? For instance I struggle with the default rudder controls and am curious what other, more experienced users have setup on their yokes. Thanks Again & happy flying!

[@Huddison]

Hi Robin and thanks for those great comments. I will do my complete Yoke settings set-up soon, but for now check my FS2020 Guides and Tutorials playlist.

[@A-Nown]

The "Extremity Dead Zone" simply cuts off the outer range of the movement of your joystick or yoke. So it's more or less the opposite of the normal "Dead Zone". Reactivity seems to add some form of input lag, if you lower its value.

[@iflyrattraps]

I've only briefly tried tweaking these settings after watching the video and it seems like the "extreme dead zone" helped a lot. I put it up around 30 or so, I can't quite remember and it seemed like it gave the airplane some weight and stability. It felt a lot better. Still some tweaking, but you've sent us in the right direction. The one thing that I don't like about this sim is how light and squirrely the airplanes are, very unrealistic, but this seems like it has the potential to address this problem.

What they have done is called them the wrong things. Reactivity is actually Sensitivity. What they call sensitivity is actually Linearity. These terms are found in driving sims and wheel setups.

[@567davefair]

The sim really needs to have a General control settings as well as optional individual aircraft settings. All aircraft handle differently and having a single set of axis and control settings just isn't optimal. Think about the difference between a 747, a glider and a helicopter, 3 very different platforms.

[@rackum44]

This sounds like it should really help when flaring. Cuz sometimes it's hard to flare without jerking the controller and getting too much of a flare

[@Huddison]

Yes it certainly helps in that respect.

[@JonathanMartin-df2ee]

In flaring, it depends what aircraft you're flying. For commercial jets its only really 2.5 deg nose up attitude for the flare, its more of a check/close/hold manoeuvre. For smaller aircraft it's just holding it off till it lands by itself.

@@Huddison I got my self a yoke few years ago but after trying it I kept using Logitech Attack 3

[@vityok3000]

To be correct the first one didn't even die, it just not holding the neutral position in one spot. But slightly controlling to the right side just a little tighny bit if i don't touch it. I was using it in FSX no problem. But in MSFS2020 it was to sensitive and that little glitch started making difference and made it uncomfortable to fly. So which slider is actually controlling overall sensityvity?

[@Huddison]

@@vityok3000 The Sensitivity slider, is mainly affecting sensitivity (i.e. you can make your controller more or less sensitive with it).

[@ellonysman]

I wish when we paid premium or even regular sim, that we had access to a databank because we all seem to have to figure it out on our own. That shouldnt be the case. Otherwise, theyve done a fantastic job beyond the hickups.

Great point Steve and I do agree they should offer more in terms of pre-set setups.

[@j_london9791]

Followed your video thx but my issue is the rudder.After landing only I have no control.The plane is erratic on the ground.Any ideas?

[@segundoaltieri21]

I’m not sure but I think “extremity dead zone” is for adjusting the dead zones of the extremes instead of the center one (for example adding a dead zone on the right turn of the yoke at the very end)

[@Huddison]

Yes that makes sense, thanks for your input.

[@MrVilla2000]

Hi. I feel like an idiot but I am still not sure what that means. Can you explain that a bit more. What actually happens if I set it to 5% or 50%

[@segundoaltieri21]

@MrVilla2000 Its hard for me to put it in words cause I speak Spanish but I’ll do my best.. If you put it to 50%, when you turn your yoke to the very end the simulator interprets that you are turning it 50% (but you’re turning your yoke 100%), that means you can be more precise with small turns on the sim, but you cant roll the airplane yoke to the maximum, so you’re loosing the 50% of the yoke but the other 50% its easy to control

[@segundoaltieri21]

I’ll explain it in Spanish in case you or somebody else does: La “zona sin cobertura” (extremity deadzone) te deja limitar el giro maximo de tu timon/joystick, lo que significa que si lo giras al maximo, el simulador interpreta que estas girando menos (si lo pones en 50% y giras al maximo el simulador interpreta que estas girando el 50%), el beneficio es que podes hacer giros pequeños mas precisos, ya que girando mucho el joystick se gira poco en el juego, lo malo es que no podras girar a todo lo que da si quisieras, ya que el juego solo interpretaria que estas girando la mitad (o el porcentaje que le pongas en las configuraciones)

Yes, the default keyboard binding is the 'End' key. Press that and you'll jump outside, press it again and you'll jump back into your cockpit. This setting is under: Controls/Camera/Camera Mode Switches. You can also set a button on your yoke (when you get it ;) or Throttle Quadrant (that's where I have mine).

[@alvinboning6961]

I've been looking for someone to post a video about these two new settings ever since they became available with the Dec 22nd Major Update. Yours is the first I've come upon, so thank you. I've noticed on those GA aircraft I've taken the time to take a close look that the range of motion of the ailerons, stabilizer, and rudder is considerably less than that the range of motion of my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick. That suggests to me that setting the Extremity Dead Zone to match the joystick's range of motion may be of some benefit. I'm interested, if you should chose to do so, what insight you might bring to the subject.

[@Huddison]

Thank you and excellent point/question. Give me some time to think about this and I will respond with (hopefully) some helpful insights.

[@Huddison]

Having given your question some thought: it does make sense (at least theoretically) to match the range of motion of your Flight controller with the Extremity Dead-zone - have you tried this? Please let me know the results. I'm still searching for any thorough/official documentation of what this 2 new settings actually are and do; I guess for now, it's a matter of experimenting to see what settings suit us all, individually, the best.

Here is the only fairly decent information I've come across so far: forums.flightsimulator.com/t/explanation-of-new-sensitivity-settings/339054

[@alvinboning6961]

@@Huddison I haven't enough experience as yet to feel confidant that I can make effective use of of the new settings which is why I've been looking for someone with more experience to share their thoughts. However, I have gone as far as looking at how setting the Extremity Dead Zone effects the presentation of the curve for the related axis. My first thought is that it makes a change of slope, essentially flattening out the curve that was imposed by the Sensitivity setting, making the response more uniform across the range of motion. I suspect that using an Extremity Dead Zone Setting of more than a few percent would impact one's choice for the Sensitivity Setting. Whether or not any of this is true I don't know. Regarding Reactivity - Having seen how a rapid large movement on a control axis effects the path followed by the "dot" when the Reactivity has been changed (in that the dot can move away considerably from the line it would otherwise follow) has put me off from experimenting with the setting until such time as I settle on which aircraft I will make an effort to become thoroughly familiar with.

But yep it is immersive; I tried at the flight sim show for ~ 30 minutes doing aerobatics: no nausea, no problem at all - never been sea sick. Also, you can't see your surroundings, like keyboard or whatever you want to use, so it would be nice if they would include a camera to see your surroundings, with software to define the area you want to see in the goggles (and give it any shape you want!), and of course a toggle button to switch it on/off. Also, it's a massive wait to get a 3090. So I am waiting that the world decides to stop panicking and live normally, so hopefully we won't have shortages after shortages...

I guess it's good for most planes, but I fly mostly the Extra and I like to have the whole range and be very reactive, so for me 0 and 100. I wish they could fix the roll in the Extra: if you roll very fast then put ailerons in neutral, the Extra keeps rolling (like a moment of inertia), but in real life, once you put ailerons in neutral, the aircraft stops rolling straight away.

[@Huddison]

I didn't know that about the Extra, thanks for the info.

[@getsideways7257]

The physics engine is a complete mess. There is no point in flying any aerobatics in MFS, especially not in the Extra.

[@raymondgoubet]

@@getsideways7257 Maybe not a complete mess, but it needs improvements. At least I can fly aerobatics, but I have to adapt ... Otherwise, what do you recommend for aerobatics?

[@getsideways7257]

@@raymondgoubet You can fly aerobatics? What about snap rolls in the Extra? Not to mention Lomcovaks... Although I'd prefer there was a better choice, but so far my recommendations are: DCS Yak-52, DCS Christen Eagle II: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZrRd5tsbJiii6c and the original Flight Unlimited: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqOkpZSol8atmrc They all have their quirks, but at least they seem to behave like actual aircraft... until they don't. Why go out of one's way to get something like Flight Unlimited running on a current PC? Because so far it's the only sim using a Navier-Stokes solver for its flight dynamics model (albeit a pretty crude solver it is).

[@raymondgoubet]

@@getsideways7257 snap rolls in the Extra? Apparently yes, I read it somewhere, but you need to be not too fast; I don't remember the speed range. Lomcovaks is not possible. If you watch the latest MSFS Aerodynamics video, there are no vectors on the prop, so there may not simulate the forces there; not sure if they decided not to show them, or they have none... kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHzHfmWmiZabf5o But they say the aircraft has 1306 parts, and they say they only show a subset of all the vectors... If the basic Flight Unlimited can do better, I guess a good addon maker could do something better than the default Extra... I will try tomorrow to experiment further with the Extra... I will go explore further what I do here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJzbhXuhZZeap9E but at lower altitude to learn in denser air.

I have got the Logitech attack, and the issue I have is the throttle.... when I’m using the throttle it’s either 0% or 100% no gradual increase or decrease. I have tried to manipulate the setting for the Z axis, which controls the throttle but nothing seems to work, how does your throttle work on the Logitech attack?

[@Huddison]

It works gradually from 0 to 100%. Make sure you have your throttle assigned to 'Throttle Axis 1'.

[@morgidvmw0mdv]

That's great information, very useful. I have the Saitek yoke, rudder peddles and throttle Quadrant. The yoke and pedals work beautifully, but I cant get the throttle quadrant to work properly. The throttle is ether off or 50% to 100%, the prop and mixture leavers don't work at all. the only way I can use the throttle is to revers the throw on it, which makes it easier for landings. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem with the Saitek Throttle Quadrant. If anyone could throw some light on my problem for me, I would be most grateful.

[@Huddison]

Hi David, do you have the throttle set to 'throttle axis 1' in options/controls?

[@morgidvmw0mdv]

@@Huddison Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I do have it set to Axis 1 and when in sensitivity I operate the throttle, the slider bar jumps from 0 to 50% with very little movement of the axis 1 and then travel up to 100% as you continue to operate the axis 1 handle on the throttle quadrant. The prop (axis 2) dose exactly the same and mixture (axis 3) jumps from 0% to 100% and back. I have tried cancelling and reassigning them, updating the drivers from Saitek, contacting Saitek to see if they can help. I'm stumped. I'm seriously thinking of buying the Honeycomb throttle quadrant but at the moment it's not available, even Honeycomb are out of stock. Any way, thank you for your help, its much appreciated.

It's a nice option but you will struggle on your next severe crosswind landing when you need full deflection of the ailerons. However, that is always going to be a problem with joysticks because of their limited range of motion.

Sorry this really bugged me, its not Extreme dead zone- 'like a dead zone but more extreme' - its Extremity - ie: at the far ends of the travel. This means that last bit of joystick travel will not change inpit if you have any extremity deadzone set.

[@getsideways7257]

People seem to always try to compensate physics engine deficiencies fiddling with the control curves/deadzones. That's pure bullshit. When you put your controls in the extreme positions the sim should respond as if the actual control surfaces were deflected to the maximum. Also, the only "reactivity" you need in a sim is the REDUCED input lag. Preferably to zero. Not increased. If the all linear curves/no deadzones/no lag setup is acting strange when you are flying on a semi-decent controller, that means Microsoft needs to fire Asobo, not ask them to add more settings.

[@criticalthinker7822]

I refunded the game because eof the rudder sensitivity. But I just bought it again.

[@fredflorist1682]

Reactivity simply "dampen" your movement. Equivalent engineering term is like using a "running average" of your input. Picture a stock price in stock market over several months: it zig-zag with a lot of day-to-day noise. Now if you were to plot a 5-day running average (average includes 2 days before and 2 days after) the result would be a much smoother curve. It smooths out the jerkiness of data by averaging over time.

[@Huddison]

Excellent analogy - thanks.

Flight sim 2020 lag and stutter. There are many complains on the web according to those issues and yes some has not prober hardware and internet connection to run the game smoth but i will say it has mostly to do with bad software programing and game server issue. Because i run the game with 500mbit fiber connection have 72 fps cpu gpu vram and ram with less than 50 percent use and still have lag and stutter so conclusion is game will not run smoth even with a NASA computer and the fastest connection avaible. Fight sim 2020 sofware is bad programing on slow gameserver. In comparison i run Ace combat 7 smoth with 235 fps. Microsoft it is time to wake up and fix this !!!

[@Huddison]

You really can't compare Ace Combat 7 to MSFS 2020: 2 completely different programs and purposes. All the major 'aviation' Flight Simulators were troublesome to run smoothly when they first launched. FSX waa a major pain to run with good settings back in the day, even to maintain 30 fps! X-Plane had similar problems, until the recent Vulcan update. Give the Sim time to develop; things should only improve.

[@carstensommer1315]

Comparison or not MSFS lag issue still adressed to server and game !

[@birreboi]

@Carsten Sommer As Huddison pointed out, it is sorta still 'early' day for MSFS. And it is always easier to complain about the game rather than your own equipment. My Internet is a lot less than yours (65 ish Mbps WiFi), I use a Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super GPU, 32MB Ram at 2666 MHz, Intel i7 8700K chip, MSI Bazooka MB and have the sim on a Samsung SSD. So a medium system that I built about 1.5 years ago. On average, I get around 40fps - quite enough. Lag and stutter are absolutely minimal for me, when they happen. My advice is to check your components. Some graphic cards/chips may work better than others with this sim. But yeah, overall the sim and servers needs optimising.

[@carstensommer1315]

Running Ace Combat 7 smoth at 235 fps then hardware is top
