Greater control precision

[Alan69]

Overall an excellent sim. But with only 100 counts or so, the control precision is a little lacking around center. Many may not notice it much, but if you fly behind some of the planes you will notice the large steps to the controls. It goes from no control input at center, to overcorrecting at the first step when trying to make fine corrections while landing etc. Exponential doesn't help, that just spreads the transmitter curve but when you move the stick far enough to get a step you still get too big of a step.

Instead of 100 equal steps, 40 half size steps in the center with 30 full size steps on either side would give greater center control precision and still keep the same 100 step total data format. Note that this would still be linear with linear inputs as long as the middle 40 gave half force changes compared to the outer steps within FMS, just a box to check for double resolution in the center and a little changing to the PIC code would be all that's needed. It would just trade some of the higher than needed precision at the ends of the control throws for greater precision in the middle range, and give most of the advantages of a 200 count system while still using the 100 count data format. It would still have the same end to end throws it would just have a higher center resolution and be smoother in the middle.

Doing this would greatly increase the simulator feel, low control precision and the constant over correcting it causes is a major factor in making a program feel more like a game or more like a sim.
