User Guide
Do the following:
1. To navigate to this location:
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\Controls
where yourname is usually the account name you use to log in. To see some of these
folders you might need to show hidden folders.
2. In the Controls Folder, you'll see a single XML document. You can open the file with
Word.
3. Near the bottom of the file, look for < SimControls.map >
4. Locate the name of the device that is causing the problem, for example< Name >Pro
Flight TPM System SLEW {C60814B0-F7D4-11DF-8001-444553540000}< /Name >
5. Locate the < axis > to ammend. For example, the throttle has a 1% null zone: < AxName
>RzAxis< /AxName > (The axis name for your controller might be different, the throttle
could also be Z.)
6. If you look in this subsection, you will see < AxNull >1< /AxNull > This 1 is causing the
problem so change it to a 0 so it looks like this: < AxNull >0< /AxNull >
7. This will fix any nullzone issue. Once you're happy with the changes, save the
Standard.XML so the changes will take effect.
You can then re-run FSX.
FSX Null Zone Fix - Fix for 1-99% throttle and other axes
If one or more of your axes are only displaying 1-99% and you have tried to set the sensitivity to
max and the nullzone to 0, you'll need to edit the values in a text document inside the FSX
folders.
