It's absolutely bananas that a manufacturer of a yoke/stick would be completely oblivious to this, especially when they're not even in the "budget" range of hardware. I noticed it within the first 5 seconds of flight and was very shocked to see it's not configurable at all. Not one review I watched mentioned this.. Hopefully this calibration works otherwise it's a pretty easy decision to return this thing.

Thank you so much for this video. It has helped fixed my yoke after nearly 4 years of owning it with the issue. I also used the free-floating method. I highly appreciate your videos. Eric

Please help .. I have a setup where I have two same monitors in front of me (and then two on the side). I cannot get the same picture as you, yours is actually brilliant. I guess Nvidia surround is not the option, how do i set up the front monitors so they show half and half of the front view?

Thanks for the re-up.

Thank you, very thorough and helpful.

I’m only a few minutes in, but appreciating the edits to reduce time 👍

Gteat video. Question, so if you were buying 3 tv's or monitors today what size would uou get for closest to real.lofe life size objects/world 🌎 in the sim? I guess my rral world car window in my sedan is close to a 60" tv size. A cessna might actually have a smaller front windshield size so a 50" tv might work well. I've seen youtubers use 2 high end projectors with a custom curved wall that jas to be over 200 inches but again, you can only see so much out a cessna or a320 real life sized windows right? Lmao

Good version! Geoff was a close friend of mine (RIP) and his wife Jean, (RIP), he'd be plaesed with your cover of his Taken for a Ride, - Cheers, Gus Riley 👍

This didnt work for me. Still no audio

Why do you have your 2 side monitors set up so goofy?

Great videos Mark!

Thank you sir. Very useful❤

what a pile of crap

Thank you, sir, for this very instructional video. I had no concern about the dead zone but my yoke's calibration had gotten way out of whack and the Windows device calibration wasn't helping. I went through the built-in calibration that you showed in this video and my yoke is now calibrated properly. I appreciate your time.

7 YEARS LATER... 2024 still low quality glitchy encoders. Logitech are not a tech company, they are just box shifters. They do not design tech, they just buy up the rights to products created by others and then sell them. They do not upgrade any hardware that they sell. At best they will sometimes contract out the updating of software drivers to independent developers if and when absolutely necessary. I am currently trying to get a Motive Mods upgraded panel, but there is a problem because they say that the Radio Panel is not available in the USA, which is strange as I can get one from several outlets here in Europe.

Thanks for sharing thats was helpful

Do you have an email address to contact about the twin otter sim

Hi, I realise I'l late to the party here (some 8 years after the video was psted). My Saitek yoke keeps disconnecting -if I jerk it too quickly the lights go out. Also, the led on the throttle quadrant flickers some times as does the screen on the yoke. I put this down to poor electrical connections - have you experienced this as well and is there a simple fix?

where is that airfield? I see the Neptune parked...it looks like the one that was in Western Australia, for horse transport (or water bombing?) ..has horse logo on tail fin

This works in 2024, mine came with about 5 degree dead zone in the middle the floating method fixed perfect

With a bit of a texture touch up this would be great in MSFS.

dude you just save me from buying a new one😂

Useful video. Thank you.

Very interesting but, to my liking, hardly useful. What would be useful is to have different things on different monitors. i.e. central with the plane, another with the FMS and last, other with the Map. Any hints of how to do it? Thks. in advance and good landings.

I bought a HTC VIVE VR headset and although a little blurry, it's absolutely amazing and one of the best uses for a VR helmet I've found. I can easily fly for a full hour wearing it without any problems.

excellent project, I have a question, is it possible to do the same with an xbox s or x console, since they are from Microsoft

😢😢 listen i screen recorded a live meeting while connecting to bluetooth earphones with audio but there is no audio recorded what can i do it's very important 😢 I'll pay you if u help me

So you don't ACTUALLY know what you're doing. I just wasted an hour of you mucking about with the app.

I may need to try this...i dont have a dead zone really, but my yoke rolls to the right for some reason......

Thank you. 3 year old Vid still applicable today. You saved this company a return. Many thanks

What computers setup do you use?

Thanks Mark. I was referring to the Twin Otter close up #2 and #3 with autopilot. I’ve noticed that you were using 4:3 monitors back then. I really like 4:3 but in big sizes and big resolutions but nobody makes them anymore; it’s all cinema aspect ratios now. Anyway I was talking of for example you launch fsx and it appears in the middle screen then you grab the edges and you stretch them across to the other screens and do the same in the vertical plane. With Nvidia surround there is a lot more to set up but I’m not sure if the end result is the same or not. So is fsx running in Windows 10 Thanks Mark

Hi Mark. I have spent a few days now reviewing your past videos on your twin otter. One question to you is your view on those 3 monitors was that a stretched fsx across all three monitors or did you you use Nvidia surround spanning the three monitors? The other question is. Which do you prefer stretching or Nvidia surround giving me the pros and cons of each from your experience? Much appreciated Mark. Thank you

I have iPad 9th Generation, the screen recording works, but upon playing the recorded video there is no audio, the audio sometimes works if fast forward and then backward, or has to wait for a moment until the audio works and then reverse it back to the starting point. A quick fix is to restart the iPad and that's annoying. iPad 6th generation seem to has this same problem as well. But iPad Air 2 almost has no problems at all. I have four iPad Air 2, one iPad 6th generation, one iPad 9th Generation (so ?!)

Whoa, this is amazing. Thank you ❤.

Love the Piper hat while you promote the Cessna product.

Hello, which software do you use to keep all the instruments on the central screen? Thanks!

Thank you!! I understand a lot more how the app works now.👍

Thank you!! I understand a lot more how the app works now.👍

Any claim that there is no deadzone is obviously false. This calibration method can be used to induce an arbitrary exaggerated deadzone by deliberately (or accidentally) marking the center positions off-center, which would then (presumably, since it wasn't specifically demonstrated) produce a very marked and easily demonstrable center (inner) deadzone. The same way as you demonstrated a very obvious outer deadzone by marking the full left and right deflections at the 45 degree points. At best the claim should be that the unit is *intended* to be calibrated such that there is no *perceptible* deadzone. That's not the same thing. Therefore a flawed factory calibration can easily result in a much larger deadzone than intended. In either case, there IS a deadzone, and any claims to the contrary are disingenuous at best. Support personnel insisting there is no deadzone have either been misinformed or they are instructed to withhold information about this. One of those is worse than the other. Thanks for sharing the calibration routine! (I just bought mine, so this is all new to me. I see now that Honeycomb published this calibration routine a while after you posted this video. Good.)

the view is indeed marvellous...no low wing or Biplane can beat that! i tried for months to calculate one with a proper view!

Muchas gracias, un exito!!

What a terrible so boding and, are you aware that in the whole 4o minutes there’s actually virtually none audio from the app??? I recommend you to remove this video because was just about to buy the app and watching this video changed my mind….it’s a pity because I’m sure the app has potential, but having a person communicating this badly in a world where this is a priority, doesn’t make any sense…..

Current update I have no idea how to do audio paste?

Move over Dr Frankenstein as Igor truly is the MAD SCIENTIST!

that app isn't free they offer free trial plus subscriptions. Subscriptions suck because they make it difficult to cancel. so they get payments. don't say an app is free when it's not. (ugggh) FML. Stupid ipad pro didn't record my sound for an important webinar I didn't have time to watch live so I did a screen record to find out later there was no damn sound. This is the first time this has happened. All previous screen records had sound. I have no idea why this happened to me today of all days. If you can recommend an app that works to fix this sound issue. I'd be grateful.

Thank you for the video. It helped me to get rid of asymmetrical deadzone on pitch axis on my Alpha XPC yoke that I got brand new.

Thanks for the great info 😎
