Setting up a joystick in WB's
From WB's splash screen, click 'SETTINGS' in the toolbar at the bottom of page.
Then click to highlight 'Controller Settings' from the settings page.
Click 'SELECT'
Once in 'Controller Settings', First make sure that all of your flight controls are
selected and configured.
Roll - X Axis
Pitch - Y Axis
Yaw - Z Axis or Rudder (depending on type of stick)
Throttle - Slider or Rotation (depending on type of stick)
Wheel Brakes - Slider or Pedals (depending on type of stick)
Below these settings, you can center your controller and verify that all surfaces are
working properly. Center all controls, then click 'Center Joystick'.
To the right of the page, are the AXIS CONTROL OPTIONS.
There are five tabs at the top representing each type of flight control. Once you
choose the type of control, a slider ladder will appear for each control below it.
Roll - 'General rule of thumb' to set up a new players stick is to start from the left
slider, set it at 10, and work your way to the right, raising each separate slider
vertically, in increments of 10, so that the last slider will be at 100.
You can adjust to your likings once you have gotten used to your controls.

(mostly used on Yaw and Throttle)
There are five tabs at the top representing each type of flight control. Once you
choose the type of control, a 'deadband' and 'damper' ramp will appear for each
control below it.
'General rule of thumb' is to leave these both set as low as possible. @ 5
You can adjust to your liking once you have gotten used to your controls.
If you encounter stick spikes, you can adjust 'deadband' a bit higher to hopefully
resolve a 'dirty pot' issue.
Click SAVE CHANGES in the green button at the bottom of the page, and exit out of
all settings menus.
You're ready to fly.
You can adjust settings to your liking once you have gotten used to your controls.

TotalSims Normally configures your controller settings automatically. Sometimes it is
necessary to CLICK THE LOAD DEFAULTS BUTTON WHEN YOU FIRST RUN
TotalSims to properly configure your Controller.
Choose Controller Settings from the Settings Menu by double clicking OR click on the
SELECT button to open the Controller Settings dialogue.
TotalSims allows you to use multiple joysticks, Rudder-Pedals, and Throttle Control if
desired.
If using Multiple Devices, make sure the correct input devices are selected for each
specific function in the drop down boxes in the Controller Input screen.
You will want to "center" your controls. NOTE: Whenever you fly in TotalSims,
release - "HANDS OFF" - all controls and then press F12 to center the joystick to
ensure precise control.
The Green Test Box in the lower left-hand corner of the Controller Input Dialogue
represents the limit of the joystick's movements. The cross and lines show the
position of limits of joystick movement.
· Move the stick to the limit of its movement in all directions, and return the stick to its
upright and center position.
The red line at the top of the Test Box shows the position of the rudder. If you have a
"twisty" joystick, twist the joystick to its full extent, or if you have rudder pedals use
them to calibrate this function.
· Move a chosen control to the full extent of its movement and then return it to its
center position. The black bar on the right of the box represents the throttle position. If
you are using a keyboard for this function please disregard this step.
· Move the throttle control to its limits, and then position the black bar in the lower
right hand corner of the box.
· Once the above steps are complete and the controls are centered in the box press
the Center Joystick button.
To fine-tune your joystick settings, select the action you want to adjust: Roll, Pitch,
Yaw, Throttle or Brakes.
· Move the slider controls 0 - 100 to fine-tune your stick inputs throughout its range of
travel.
· The Deadband setting affects the size of the area at the center of your controller
wherein inputs have no effect.
· The Dampening setting adjusts the overall limiting of controller inputs.
· Deadband and Dampening settings are commonly used to overcome minor joystick
"spiking" or over-sensitive controllers.
· Move the slider controls to adjust the Deadband and Dampening as desired.
You can return to the default settings at anytime by clicking on the Load Defaults
button.
· Click SAVE CHANGES to save your settings.
