Advanced Yaw Cue
Overview
Section titled “Overview”The Advanced Yaw Cue provides additional control over the yaw (rotation) axis of your simulator. It offers three features that refine how yaw motion is handled: a deadzone to eliminate small unwanted yaw movements, roll-to-yaw mixing for a more immersive cornering feel, and an unlimited yaw mode for simulators with continuous rotation capability.
Controls
Section titled “Controls”Deadzone
Section titled “Deadzone”- Sets a minimum threshold for yaw movement
- Any yaw motion below this value is ignored, reducing jitter and unwanted micro-movements
- Increase the deadzone if you notice the platform making small twitchy yaw movements when driving or flying straight
Mix Roll
Section titled “Mix Roll”- Blends a percentage of the roll axis motion into the yaw axis
- Creates a more natural cornering sensation by adding a subtle rotational cue when the platform rolls
- Set to 0% for no mixing, or increase for a stronger combined effect
- Particularly useful in driving simulations where turning involves both roll and yaw
Unlimited Yaw
Section titled “Unlimited Yaw”- When enabled, the yaw axis accumulates rotation continuously rather than returning to center
- Designed for simulators equipped with a continuous rotation (slip ring) yaw mechanism
- The platform tracks the vehicle’s heading in real time, wrapping around at ±180°
- Not available in manual control mode
- Only enable this if your hardware supports continuous yaw rotation — standard platforms should leave this off
Tuning Tips
Section titled “Tuning Tips”- Start with the deadzone at 0 and increase gradually if you notice unwanted yaw noise
- A small Mix Roll value (5–15%) adds subtle realism to cornering without feeling exaggerated
- If using Unlimited Yaw, ensure your Sim Config travel limits accommodate continuous rotation
- The Advanced Yaw Cue processes after the Primary Cue, so tune your Primary Cue yaw settings first
