Hardware (stick) - calibration issues

[Aleks]

I am using the twisting motion of the Thrustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus to control tiller.

The issues is that the axis is giving some spike noise.

I am using the option to detect tolerance, and everythng looks fine in the USB screen of PSX.
However, the sidestick gives sporadic spike to the left, unless I put in some huge tolerance which then makes the movement of the tiller abrupt - i.e. I need to twist it quite a lot before it gives signal and then it deflects almost to the max.

Any suggestions? Does PSX provide some adjustment of sensitivity (i.e. curves)? If so, I could perhaps soften the reaction when using large tolerance.

Thanks.

In my opinion, twisting sticks don't provide any useful signals from the twist axis. I wouldn't use that axis at all.

Secondly, that large neutral zone with its knee is already similar to a gradual curve. At the end of the neutral zone it won't jump to a high value but it will start rising from zero in a linear, gradual way. If you were to make that exponential, you would just make the increment in the last section even steeper which would make it even more switch-like. And you would move the initial reaction zone even closer to the noise zone.

Thank you, Hardy. I will see if I can use other hardware or axis.
