Wow thanks, I've always assumed this behaviour was normal, I just correct with rudder. Can you help please with a different issue? My yoke becomes unresponsive after a few minutes into the flight, it'll come back on again when I unplug and replug the USB but would crash the pc at other times. I also have not been able to install the driver as the auto os detection on the website is only giving me the 32bit installer. I get the error message, "the installer is a 32bit find the 64bit and install" or something like that. Its been working fine for the past 3 years I've bought it, just started with the UK update of MFS2020
I'm not sure on the top of my head what might be causing that, but will research deeper into this for you - for now I'll pin your comment to see if others can help :)
Bro, ive gone through pretty much every brand of yoke in the past 2 years lol and any problem you can imagine, ive got a folder and several subfolders on my desktop full of installers, drivers, and notes on how to solve a myriad of issues, hopefully we'll fix yours too. What yoke you got ? Saitek/Logitech one like in the video above ?
@@bikerboy3k its extremely frustrating, although my issue maybe amd usb power drop off which amd has been investigating for a while now. Hopefully they come up with a fix soon. My yoke is the exact one as in the video
Thanks for this video. I'm new to MSFS and just purchased the Logitech yoke. Mine suffered from the right drift issue you show in the video. I'm a fan of Logitech keyboards and mice, but feel their support for the yoke is lacking. I never would have found the adjustment panel without your video. Thanks again!
Thanks... Finally just got this yoke today...installed the data,, still to set it up (X plane and FSX SE) Your vids have been helpful. This one will stoop me wondering..."what the ...?"
in Windows 11. I found my yoke under more "more devices" even though the yoke was properly identified on the normal page. In the "more devices" I was able to calibrate it like you show here.
joy.cpl brings it up too. My problem is my tabs are settings and test. Settings lets me calibrate but it associates throttle and pro in the calibration and not any of the yoke options one axes does nothing on any part.
A friend got this yoke a few days ago, and it appears to have a fault. It's not being recognized. He did order a replacement, but haven't heard back, regarding the new one's functionality. Have you experienced this problem with this product? Thanks for the tip.
A good idea I have an other: if you have been using your yoke for several years. Open it and clean the potentiometers with electronic component cleaning fluid can correct all problems.
Thank you so much for the quick video Huddison. I only posted the comment yesterday asking about this and already you've uploaded a video, amazing. I will be giving this a try.
@@Huddison Ok so i changed my deadzone to copy yours from the video you made and that made a big difference to my yoke and i like the feel of that. Now, i went into the device settings menu for the yoke and noticed the red line on my axis were lining up perfectly without needing to change it; it wasn't flickering, so since then i have had zero issues and my experience is a lot better. Now, i've been thinking about why it would suddenly correct itself without needing to adjust the sliders in your video here, and the only thing i did differently was that i plugged my throttle quadrant into the yoke BEFORE i plugged the yoke into my PC usb. I'm wondering if plugging the yoke into your PC first and then inserting the throttle into the yoke somehow interferes with the yoke calibration. All being said i appreciate the vids to solve any issues going forward should i need to correct thing
@@leerabson4693 I shall give that a try myself. I actually feel that the current desk I'm using is not level ( I can almost visually see it), so bearing both options in mind.
Hey Man - many thanks for thus video - I've been having to unplug and plug in the yoke after a PC restart to reset the centre point but after seeing your video it's now fixed!
Thank you so much! I thought this was just an annoying thing I couldn't control! My yoke control has gotten better as I tune it as per your video recommendations! :)
Thanks for the tip on how to correct the deviation. Despite having been published 4 years ago, it is always current. One question: do you use modes 1, 2, 3? How do you make it work with FSX?
Awesome, thank you so much for this. I noticed I had the same exact problem! Do you have any videos about playing with the sensitive settings? I find sometimes I need more or less sensitivity at certain situations. And the settings confuse me so much.
I have windows 11and in control panel under devices, my yoke system doesn't have the deadzones box. Also the calibration isn't working properly. Any solutions please? Don
Hi Don, I can't confirm how Windows 11 affects the yoke, as I'm still using it under Windows 10. I know there was a recent discussion about this in our Discord, if you want to check there.
I go into Flight yoke system properties and the tabs I have are settings and test. I have no deadzone tab. What should I do? (I have windows 10). I go into calibration but it says 512 for both so I think it is centered yet I will still drift to the right and down some. It looks like the deadzone isn't active or something because no matter how I turn, it will eventually begin to drift again. I've also tried spraying pressurized air inside but it also doesn't help.
The deadzone tab shows for some and not for others for whatever reason. This video may help you though: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xJFVx6WatZs.html
I have an issue where something the yoke will just turn off, but I look at the controller settings it’s not off, the game just stopped listening to it, any ideas?
Maybe if the steering is heavy and your table is not level can tilt that could be also potential issue. Most likely not, maybe just faulty like ps4 controllers after some use.
1: I'm using Win 11 and the calibration for this device looks completely different 2: Have you loaded the drivers that Logitech supplies for this yoke (& rudder) ?
ok so firstly this is normal for propeller aircraft! it isn't drift its torque from the direction the prop moves! However the Logitech pro flight yoke does have an issue with the USB where only the ailerons will slightly be out of alignment and the only way to resolve it is to unplug your USB and plug it back in.
What is odd is when I go into control panel and click on my controller there is Settings & Calibration but not dead zone. Why would that be. I am using latest version of Windows 10.
Nice! what version of the yoke driver are you using and where did you download it? i'm trying to get the clock working on my yoke, however my driver is not showing the clock configuration options as yours....thanks
I'm just using the default Windows 10 drivers currently, as they seem to work just fine for myself. What clock configuration/options are not showing for you?
@@Huddison It doesn't show me the yoke's clock option to set time using computer as source. It's 00:00:00 all time. For some reason I was using Saitek drivers, so I found this Win10 64bit driver for my yoke that allows me set it up correctly, so now clock's yoke (the green one in the middle of the yoke) it's working perfectly using computer's time as source. Here's the link forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/saitek-pro-flight-yoke-windows10-64-driver.401117/
Huddison Thank you so so much! This was what i was looking for ! You made my day ! i know they always drift because of the torque "i need this working i am in the middle of my PPL " so thank you now i can go on and practice some procedures. THANK YOU !
cheers for this, have the same issue. i haven't checked out all your video's yet, but do you have a fix for level flying (up - down ) in msfs, mines all over the place...... lol. cheeers. p.s i've set pitch up/down to one of my buttons on yoke, but still can't get level flight
It might be difficult for me to pinpoint your issues in the comments; but come and join the Discord - you'll have a whole host of willing people, waiting to help you there: discord.gg/3kra6JfHZT
Heya man, I'm trying to do this. I have the same yoke. When I try to go and open the properties from game controllers that window simply closes and I do not get any other window such as the one for the calibration.
on the runway you need to give a left rudder correction to counter for p factor, and that has nothing to do with the aileron as you have no aileron authority until your speed builds up to at least 70 to 80 percent of your V!.
@@Huddison Well when you fly a plane for real, and you fully open the throttle (max power), planes with a prop on the front in the middle creates a slipstream effect. The slipstream air will hit the left side of the rudder causing the plane to yaw to the left. This is why you get nagged with "right rudder, right rudder, right rudder" :D. You can google Left-Turning Tendencies of an aeroplane or slipstream yaw. It might explain it better than I can.
Thanks for your kind comment 😊. Rewatch this video and see if have somehow skipped a step (it can happen): if you haven't, maybe try your yoke in a different usb port and try again.
I did this video and it worked amazingly for DCS then I went and put WD-40 because it was sticking and that deleted all of my drift so it would send me over to the left and crash me so I had to kill all of the dead zones LOL but seriously add some lubricant or oil it says it in the user manual and it is certainly worth the try.
@@Huddison indeed! In my case there was a tiny offset but it made a difference! Annoying you can’t actually calibrate the yoke for some reason best known to Windows.
My yoke always banks right (in-game), to the farthest end, even if I do not touch the yoke, AND in addition the ailerons don’t respond. So, when I spawn in a plane, it keep banking right without me even touching the yoke. I can’t correct the ailerons because it doesn’t respond. Does anybody to fix this?
I have this issue with the pitch. I keep having to adjust the trim every minute or so but eventually that’ll max out and i’m not able to keep on flying. I’ll check this method, thanks! Also, i don’t know if anyone else has this, sometimes when I make a turn, the yaw will suddenly shoot to the maximum and stay there, sending me into an incontrollable roll.
When i go to the game controller settings, there isn't any tab that says deadzones. It is just settings and a calibrationt tab. I keep trying to calibrate it but a deadzone tab doesnt show up
Thank you! I am encountering a slightly different problem. As I steer to the right my yoke doesn´t react since I have tilted the yoke for about 10°. I think it is a hardware issue but maybe some of you (or you, Huddison) have an idea on how to maybe fix that. :( Its not that funny to have to steer more to the right than to the left when flying...
I can only think that it's way out of calibration; there is a fix on youtube, requiring deleting or altering of Registry files, though I've not tried it myself yet.
Mine is really weird. The controller has a built in dead zone that's always MILES off centre, usually about 5~10 degrees to the left it hits a hardware dead zone, while windows always shows it centring about 10 degrees to the right. I unplugged it's extra power socket, and the left right axis reset to perfectly centre, HOWEVER, the pitch axis went insane. I plugged the extra power back in and everything reset to centre, even the hardware dead zone. I expect it to fall out of centre again. It's just interesting that the extra power port to power its internal USB hub has such a dramatic effect. I'm actually thinking about not using its internal USB hub for anything (currently I'm using it for the autopilot panel) as it seems to be super sensitive to power draw.
@@Huddison I use it because the stupid autopilot panel doesn't work for me unless I unplug it and plug it back in one's flight simulator is fully loaded.
So, it gets even more annoying. It's now centred correctly in game controllers, but the game has its centre waaaay off. In fact, I might record a video of this. Mind if I drop you a link when I have it done?
Is this not called propeller walk, it's an actual effect of the propeller pushing the the aircraft in the direction of the spinning prop! Ie if the prop is spinning clockwise, then the aircraft moves to the left as being "pushed" over by the spin force. IF the drift is in the opposite direction, ie prop spinning clockwise and the aircraft drifting the the left. THEN that is a drift issue with the yoke. Looking at your video the prop is spinning clockwise and aircraft moving to the right..
In my control panel the settings are correct but in the flight sim , I check sensitivities and the center dot is on the left hand side.. so as soon as I take off the plane banks or turns fully to the left...
@@Huddison I fell asleep in the middle in addition I am very confused on the screen it shows the yoke tilted to the left when In real life it is straight I am wondering if I messed something with the little buttons. Can I DM u on Instagram and can we do a video call?
@@aviationgod7773 Nooo I'm not setting up instagram (or anything similar), I'm a fairly busy guy. Watch through it again and drink lots of coffee next time 🤣👍
thanx for answering. yeah this what i used to do. but after the last update it didnt work. i have to use Enter + Zero botton to lift and right. and when i changed it to the yoke it worked even when i am flying. sorry for my engish.
@@abotoohy My yoke still works as Rudder on the Ground - do you have your Flight Model set as 'Modern'? Also with the A320, I can only steer on the ground at low speeds. Having 2 flight controllers plugged into your PC at the same time, can also be problematic.
The modes used to be useful (somewhat) in older sims like Flight Sim X - not so much in MSFS as you can just create profiles for different aircraft etc.
Gday. This works ok for me and I also have to do the reset with the regedit file but I cant save the settings once i fixed them. I have to resent every time or else I get the drift to the right for me for both XP and MSFS. Anyone have a solution to save the settings so I dont have it do every time i turn my computer on!!!
@@Huddison nope i also didnt install anything just connected via usb. Maybe its already an updated driver on windows and they removed that part. Are you still have that deadzone tab available for u sir?
@@zeffmetu Yes the deadzone tab is still available for me. Not certain what's going on with your own - but we have quite an active channel, so someone passing through the comments might be able to help👍
@@Huddison if its still available then there is hope=) let me dig in to that driver part and lets see if i can also figure out. Any help is welcome meanwhile and tx for the videos they helped a lot
This "Drift" is actually perfectly normal and happens in real life. The reason for it is because the propeller pushes air down on the right wing and up on the left wing, and pushes on the right side of the rudder. It is also caused by the gyroscope of the prop.
The best, fastest, easiest and most uncomplicated way to fix the offset is... To unplug it until you hear the windows tone for disconnecting usb-device and plug it in again. It centers perfectly after the 2nd plug in and there's no need to play around with deadzones and shit. Somehow the first time, when plugged in to the pc - or even already plugged device when turning on the pc most of the time gives you a slight offset to the right. But before you start anything else just quick unplug and plug in again - 99% of the time it works instantly for me, 1% of the time I have to do it a second time. That's it. Problem solved!
Problem I have found is in flight if you disconnect there is no guarantee it will reconnect. I have found on occasions I have had to restart the computer.
@@Huddison OMG you helped me so much. My zone was more to the left then yours. lol. Now i have setup it but little more and now it works perfect. I thought my Stick was build wrong. Thank so so much...
Found a fix. Search RUN in windows search box, then type shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A} This will open the original windows 10 devices and printers in windows 11 and you should be able to fix
