Hi!
I purchsed a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System
(http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/prod/yoke.htm) and
created an XML file (attached) to make it basically
working with FGFS (Linux).
However, there is one pretty annoying thing:
You can push/pull the elevation +/- 1 cm without
the value for the y-axis changing and turn
the aileron left/right for about +/- 10 degrees
without the value for the x-axis changing.
Means: there is quite a big "null-zone" which
makes flying a pretty tricky thing.
Somebody knows how to get rid of this null-zone?
TIA and best regards
Bernhard
