Erik, My one concern with lowering the joystick sample rate is that you have now lowered the rate at which aileron, elevator and rudder input is sampled. For some people, the input delay in simulators is a huge complaint. Could we perhaps limit the sample rate just for the buttons, but not for the axes?
For people that are used to flying simulators, 20hz is probably no big deal, but for people that are used to flying the real thing, this can cause problems. I've seen (*many* times) that people have PIO (or driver induced occilation) problems the first time they step into a sim. It takes a while to get the knack of staying ahead of the controls. We probably don't think about it, but for someone not used to flying/driving/shooting sims, it can be really tough. Thanks, Curt.
