Saitek Rudder Pedals settings?

Post by boilerhead »

Hello friends,

I need an advice. I want set my Saitek rudders to most realistic (or recommended by A2A pilots) :wink:
I'm fly most with B-17G. The rudders are very stiff. It's recommended all sensitivity to max? Generally.
(Brake Toe L-R Null Zone & Sensitivity, Rudders Null Zone & Sensitivity) ?

Thanks for reply :D :D

I would play with the sensitivity and set it to what you like

The documentation for A2A planes say to set all control realism to the max, and due to the way FSX handles sensitivity, set it to the max as well. There's a thread that talks about this here: https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewto ... 23&t=47744

I prefer a very small dead zone on my rudder pedals, just enough to keep the control from jittering. It may depend on how "positive" the centering detent is, because if it's too strong it's hard to make small corrections near the center. In the end it will come down to personal preference. Slider type controls (like the throttle) have to have sensitivity set to max or you don't get the full range of travel.

I use the Siatek pedals and I agree with the above. The only thing I would add is the deadzone on the brakes may need adjusting depending on how you use them

For example, when doing runup checks with the parking brake on; if you have the brakes with no dead zone and bump the pedal by accident your parking brake may release. I destroyed a prop on my Spitfire this way.
