Go to Post My contention is that there is not a whit of difference between noting that a change like that has to be made, and making the change. - Kris Verdeyen [more]

Re: Joysticks

Sven-

Most (older) joysticks won't reach full range on the pots. This is just part of the nature of joysticks, even the trusty CH flightstick wouldn't quite get full range.

The work around is to calibrate your Victors to each joystick. The process is pretty simple, and can do wonders for drivabilty. Basically what happens is that the victor looks at the outputs from the joystick as you move it from physical stop to stop, and then scales its (the victors) outputs to match. It accomplishes the same thing that your programmer may have done, but in a much simpler manner.

Ask your programmer if he is familiar with the practice. If he isn't, ask about it here and the whole calibrate/don't calibrate debate can resurface.
