Joystick setup...

[emmrenn]

Hi, I've ordered a Honey Bee CP2 and want to get some practise in before it arrives so that I don't crash too badly on my first real flight.

I have a game controller on my PC with 2 analogue joysticks but I'm not sure what the mappings will be to mimick the Honey Bee CP2's controller settings. Can anyone help, at the moment I have to move the right joystick horizontally to gain altitude which doesn't seem natural - I'd have thought that up/down on one of the 2 joysticks should control this?

Thanks,

Mark.

It depends on what kind of tx you have... Mode 1 or 2?
Mode 1...
Throttle Up/Down on left stick
Yaw Left/Right on left stick
Aileron Left/Right on right stick
Elevator Up/Down on right stick
Mode 2...
Aileron Left/Right on left stick
Yaw Left/Right on left stick
Throttle Up/Down on right stick
Elevator Up/Down on right stick

Hi Mark,

I have a Logitech Dual Action (dual analogue) USB joystick which is calibrated in winXP game controllers first, then set up as

Tail 3 Exp
Nick 6 Exp
Roll 5 Exp
Pitch 4 Exp

I find that the Exp setting gives you more response leeway to begin with making it easier to learn

The only problem is that the throttle spring can't be removed

I have FMS 2.8.5 and I found a BladeCP/HBCP2 model look

I couldn't have learned to hover within a few weeks without FMS - It's a MUST

HTH

Thanks folks, I'm at work at the moment but will try all the above as soon as I get home.
