Flightsticks having limited range?

[chaoticprout]

While testing with my team's flight sticks, I decided to check out the dashboard readout on the steering wheel we were using to see the readouts from the sticks. I promptly noticed that after going halfway forward the flightstick was already at 254, and halfway backwards it was at 0. I checked with our other flightstick to make sure it wasn't an erroneous stick. Is this how the sticks are? Seems like a problem unless your drivers like very sensitive (or am I missing something really stupid?)
Thanks.

Are you referring to the old CH Flightsticks included in pre-2004 kits?

If so, I don't believe the phenomenon you're seeing is normal. I would say the same of the AVB ones we've been getting since 2004 too.
