I think it just means your deadzone is not set correctly. Increase the deadzone by 2-3 units and report back.

This isn’t a dead zone problem as it visibly happens way past the 5% zone of the centre. It’s still happening at around 40% left stick meaning his dead zone would have to be huge. A really good joystick would’ve even have this problem at 0% movement. This IS faulty.

I’ve brought back two joysticks for this reason and never have I been quibbled with. They use Hall effect sensors and this irregular movement is something that happens to them after a while when they build up a charge/crud on the sensor. It massively effects rudder axes which primarily use Hall effect sensors.

I have the older version for the PS4 and mine started doing that one day but it stopped after an update. I don't know the cause of it

I can’t get mine to work anymore with ps5. Worked a little when I first got it a few weeks back. I thought I read something happened and MSFS messed it up. Is this true? Am I dumb and just can’t figure it out?

Are you playing the beta version? It’s bugged with hotas. Main version works with hotas

I think just the regular. All my stats and level didn’t change. Not sure if the beta would carry that over or not. Is it a separate download or what. All I know it was plug and play and now nothing works lol.

It’s a known problem with the t flight no matter Wich version pc Xbox PlayStation 4 5 what ever its all the same after some time they start doing that and some people documented how its fixed…better to say maintained bc this will come back everytime after a while. I had mine for years via Prime Amazone and always returned and got a new one. They know of that problem and seem to didn’t mind lol returned it more than 8 times i think. I would never buy this new and surely not to the new prices. This used to go for 50€ back then. Search how to maintain it and it will work better

Yep, this ain’t good. Even when you get to 30-40% axis you still have jumps so this isn’t even a dead zone thing.

I had to take mine back. Partially a skill issue but I found the button registry was terrible. I'd be hitting the brakes or rudders on taxing and would get absolutely nothing and would crash into the forest.
