x1BRAVO9x 190 Report post Posted May 14, 2022 I'm not sure if this would belong in this subsection or the hardware section, feel free to move it. I play arcade, and as with most people I started playing with a mouse and keyboard (WASD). Several days ago I bought a HOTAS, a X52 pro to be exact. When I set up the X52 Pro I used the setup wizard, mainly because I'm not versed enough to set it up on my own. After the setup wizard I added a few some buttons for my style of play. One thing I noticed immediately is either compression and/or control stiffness (I've seen people see they are distinctly different I just don't know which it is). I didn't notice the level of it when using the mouse and keyboard that I experienced as soon as I plugged in my X52. It was so bad and "exaggerated" from my experience with the mouse and keyboard that I thought my Stick was failing. Eventually I repeated it enough to realize when it happens and the variables seem to be consistent. It seems to happen in faster jets in the BR range I play, 9.0 - 9.7. The two I noticed immediately are the F-86F-2 and F8U-2, the F-86 possibly being the worst of all. Like I said I noticed immediately and after coming to a conclusion about the cause, I wondered if I was just overlooking it with the mouse and keyboard. I switched back to the mouse and keyboard trying to replicate the compression/control stiffness using the same speed and angles and could not. Same aircraft, same mode (AB) but vast differences, and I'm not talking about differences as a result of the controls. Any opinions, ideas?
