I completly got rid of stick oscilations when gains are >40% witht the current filter setting on the Friction:
F.
ADoes that not have any other weird side effects tho?
AI feel like low filter like that might create a weird sort of lag effect, but not tested a value this low
WYeah, it's too low. It better to increase the bandwitdth and tune the PID parameters
AIs it one of those things that’s possible to fix if you invest the time? Or is it generally just a problem with friction as an effect?
RThis sounds weird but how do I make the force of the spring more linear. I've added some dampening to make it not bounce around the center so much, but adding some linearity would be awesome, it seems to ramp up the spring tension very aggressive right outside the center of the stick.
RI only fly helicopters, so trying to mimic that configuration.
WWell It should be pretty linear, but you can always tune with spring mapping tool
W
RI did see that and I may be expressing my thoughts the wrong way, lol.
RIll give it a try.
RThanks for the hardwork
AIf you crank up the spring dampening thing in the tab with the overall effect effect percentages (not the screen where you apply effects, the other tab), it basically gets rid of all the springy-ness around the center. I have mine set to 100% and I love it, creates an effect of something mechanical, not attached to a spring
RShow me
ANot at any computer atm so can’t unfort
AI have this screenshot that I sent to a friend a while back
Rperfect and thanks

I must be missing something. Running latest firmware, stick is calibrated. When I trim (Ka-50/DCS), the diamond almost always moves 3mm forwards after I've trimmedVas in I hit trim, and then I feel the stick slip forwards a bit after releasing trim
VUsually it's the forwards direction, regardless of if I've pulled the stick backwards or pushed it forwards
WMaybe it's the weight pulling it down?
Vnot necessarily - deflection maybe 80% forwards doesn't move as much as say 50% forwards
VI do hear the clicks in-sim, and after that there's movement - enough to pitch it down
Vsometimes the deflection after trim is towards the centre if I trim say left-to-right
WCurves in DCS might cause issues with trim also. The blue circle in VPforce tool indicates the actual trimmed position the joystick sees. So might be a good idea to check that first to troubleshoot.
Vzero curves/sat/deadzone in DCS
Vok. interesting. so I had the tension knob on 45% and on maybe 10% (2 beeps-ish from zero)
VWhen I trim it at 90% forward or back cyclic (yes, the helo is looping), it hardly moves at all in any configuration. But the more normal deflections there is some movement after the click of releasing trim. Usually forwards, sometimes inwards.
VI did also find once or twice now (don't think I experienced it before) that after releasing trim it slides one direction after trim and then jumps back - this physically being done by the stick itself
VIncreased tension has some effect in mitigating this, but e.g. going down to 10% tension from 45 doesn't make that post-trim movement like x3 times further
VIn the configurator I'm seeing the same behaviour
Vblue dot slips off-centre from the circle after trim
WGenerally for best performance you'd need to adjust the balance spring and/or static force so that the stick roughly holds position without any spring forces.
But in any case a proper trim should indicate the center dot should be inside the center point circle:

Vcurrent config. This is with the tension knob half-way - trimmed, left the stick and you can see the blue dot alignment
VI made sure to hear the release click before leaving the stick
Wyeah, looks normal. That's due to weight
Wwithout balance spring my heavy warthog gives me this:
Vwouldn't the effect be greater with say 90% forward cyclic then than with 40% forward?
Vif it was the weight?
WDo you use an extension?
Vno, just VKB gunfighter pro w/ the adaptor
Vhappens with or without loopback running
Vif I trim say 10% forward cyclic and trim left or right back, it seems to want to pull it back to centre
WWhat if you turn off spring completely and release it half way forward?
Vtension knob or Spring tickbox in configurator?
Wtension knob will turn it down to zero anyway 
Vsimilar effect/what happens with knob to zero
Vleft-right returns slightly to centre, forward-back seems to go forwards a bit unless at the extremes of forward/back
Wif knob is at zero it should move freely and not return to center at all
