Profile For BF2 on a Saitek Cyborg Evo

[DeltaFart]

Ok, I'm trying to set a profile up for BF2 and my Cyborg. The biggest isssue is that the throttle doesn't have one direction, it likes to choose between foward and back with the thrust. If I have it slgihtly above or below dead center I'm screwed pretty much. Anyone know how to create a dead zone in the profiler? I got the 2 bands set up one at 40% one at 60% so that I have a 20% space I can idle in. Ive tryed even so far as setting it as close to idle as possible and scratching the position on the throttle with a pocket knife and no dice. Any clues?

I just expanded the throttle deadzone.
Now i have 0% by only adjusting it in the aproximate middle.

Btw does someone know whats the best pecentage for hovering?

Instead of using the profile editor, I believe that you can just use the driver. Unfortunately, I don't the exact process right in front of me, but if you select the joystick image on the bottom right hand side of the task bar, a menu pops up allowing you to choose the profile editor, settings, and profile you wish to choose.

I believe it's "Settings", but one of the menu options makes a window pop up with different settings. Anyways, its here that you should be able to set the dead zones to your joystick with a white bar. I suggest making a 25-35% deadzone for you throttle in the center.

I'm sorry if this is confusing, because it's hard to explain things if you don't have images to give as examples or for your own refernce, but if you don't get the problem solved fairly soon, I can get a more detailed response in.

Good luck.



*EDIT* Are you talking about the Cyborg Evo? Cuz that's the one that I talked about, though the interface is nearly identical for most of their joystick AFAIK.

@ Priby, I can't be sure, but I seem to be able to hover in one spot without any movement at around 12-14% in the Merlin. I'm sure that it all depends on whether you're moving at all or what chopper your in, but if you throttle is at 0%, you should be able to hover fairly well, only descending ~1 meter every 5 to 10 seconds.

*EDIT 2* Ok, here's a pic of the window I'm talking about (might not look the exact same, especially with the Cyrillic ).



When it pops up, it should be in the "test" tab. The "about" tab is where you set deadzones.

This is what i did


@McLuv
Thx for the tip

[DeltaFart]

ok, I'll use that, wasn't sure about that considering I also sometimes fly flight sims

@ Priby, ya, that's the window I was talking about as well, but since I don't have my Cyborg Evo on this computer, I had to rely on slightly related Russian ones
