hc625ma.org_wp-content_uploads_2019_09_img_20190924_230724.jpg

Summary

This panel allows you to set the sensitivity (rates) of your cyclic and pedals precisely, in a linear way: Make adjustments with the knobs, until your physical stick/pedals movements will roughly correspond to the on-screen ones, or in the way that you find most comfortable.

The default sensitivity values are set in the software, from bottom-left mark:

MARK   SENS
1      80
2      85
3      90
4      95
5      100 (MARKED WHITE)
6      105
7      110
8      115
9      120
10     125
