Is there a way to adjust sensitivity of the aileron and elevator trim wheels? They are incredibly over-sensitive on mine (with Gold X)

If you are using the trim wheels on the joystick to make trim adjustments during flight, I don't think that's what they are intended for. I think they are just to make adjustments to the stick during calibration, and then leave them alone. If you need to make trim adjustments during flight, you probably need to use some keystoke (defined by the software) to do that, or assign a button for that, but you only have a few buttons anyway..... That's just my 2 cents. I've only used the joystick to fly helicopters, and haven't had need to trim. For airplane flying, I have a full yoke, with buttons defined for flight trim.

After searching the web, I'd recommend going to 'flightsim.com' and to the forum,and you may find some answers there. Myself, I've experienced over sensitivityon X Plane and FSX on my HP Pavilion i5, using the CH Flightstick Pro. In contrast,my old PII 333 with parallel ports, Flightstick Pro, Pro Throttle and Ch Rudder pedalis still as good as it gets for realism, regardless of the older graphics. I have flownactual aircraft and know how a sim should fly. It'll be a sad day when my old systemchecks out! I'm no expert, but can't understand the present compatibility factor between theflight sims and the sticks. Hope this info was somewhat helpful.

Not that I am aware of. Considering what the trim wheels are doing, it seems highly unlikely that this is possible. Sorry!

In the Main Menu You can adjust sensitivity. Also in Options menu you can change Device and Buttons.. Long Menu but worth Looking into for References.

I have not encountered this problem before, but, if you enter the joystick calibration program from inside the Gold X program, you should be able to determine if the stick is operating properly by watching the response on the calibration screen. I do recall that years ago I had some issues with Microsoft CFS2 with loss of control of aircraft in the program, but, that was due to program errors and settings. If Gold X has difficulty settings, you might check those and see if they are set properly. Good luck.

I've been using mine with World of Warplanes and haven't noticed any extra sensitivity to the trim wheels. I'm using a Toshiba laptop with windows 8...It's plug and play, so I haven't noticed any features that allow for adjustment, other than on the set up in WoW. It might be due to the operating system you are using. I would suggest contacting CH to see if they have any updated patches for the flightstick and the operating system you are using. Hope this helps.Gary

There are different settings to it, there is a switch on the back to change them. Now in the instructions there are actions you have to commit as well for the advanced settings...( turn it sidways and it does the firing blindly thing and says powering off, or if something hasn't crossed the sensor after a short time "are you still there?"). Make sure the sensor is clean as well....but make sure you leave it on for at least ten minutes because the ai is setting balance hit and continual motion ( ie fan would not set it off)... Hope this helps

Amazing. I feel that the wheels are what squeek. I proved that by grabbing the wheels and sliding them against their typical path. I can tell that the path is not straight back and fourth on the tracks too. I suspect that the loosening of the handles will 'free up' the tension so they run smoothly. It drives me bonkers.

Same as below, adjust the sensitivity in the set up process. It is not perfect, running on the treadmill with my watch hand holding my hair off my neck and it missed counting steps. Pretty accurate though!

The only way that I know of to adjust the on and off sensitivity would be in placement of the sensor, by pointing in the direction of sunrise then they would possibly go off quicker, otherwise I have not seen any adjustments. Hope this helps.

I use the yoke "electric trim" toggle for trim, I get a better feel for trimming the aircraft. It might be that its just my personal preference. I don't have a conflict on my setup.

It may be set too sensitive. There are adjustment dials to adjust the sensitivity. The instructions explain how to adjust it.

Try holding the screen next to the sensor and spin the wheel. Then put it back on the bars an do it again, this worked for me.

Do you mean on-screen smoothness? I find it smooth, but unfortunately it has excessive drift after acceleration. This could just be a problem with mine, but it's pretty annoying on a larger screen. This is well beyond the 'standard' trackpoint drift that corrects itself quicky.

Sensitivity is adjusted in the software. There are no mechanical tension wheels for this device. It sits in a natural body position with heels and foot strike normal. You may need an adjustable chair to get the most comfortable position. Toe break and rudder effects are all done within the software. Plenty of travel to allow as much null space and sensitivity for your selection of games.

There is an adjustment screw on the sending unit that will increase sensitivity. I would try that before digging it up. The owners manual is online to assist in locating the adjustment screw.

I had the same problem! It vibrates out of its level selection. I simply tied a rope from the selector lever to the opposite handle. Done deal!

I believe you can fix that by adjusting the horizontal trim on the right stick, could be the left though...been a little while since I've flown it. Good luck.

Try turning the "up force limit knob" clockwise to increase allowable lifting torque and inspect door for straightness and rollers and tracks to make sure they roll smoothly.

Not a clue. You can try going to 'mouse properties' and speeding up mouse by moving speed lever all the way over.

It might be defective but it is tricky to fly. Make sure you adjust the trim while slowly throttling up.

change the wheel value around a little then set it on the right one. Then there should be be a choice and the right button will scroll between metric and miles chose the one and left button confirms. I had a tough time getting it right and just played with the two buttons till I hit on the miles and tried to never again touch the button as it changes everything just when you had it right. Controls are a little "Loosy goosy" Bottom line I really like it BUT careful of the buttons
