How to Add Null Zones and Curves to X-Plane 11/12

Sometimes our joystick is not behaving to our liking, or maybe it’s just old. Here’s how you add Null Zones and Curves to X-Plane 11 and 12.

Enter Joystick Settings

Step 1 : Click on “Settings”

Step 2 : Click on “Joystick” (no. 1) if you haven’t, then click on “add response curve” (no.2) for any axis that you want to add the NZs/ Curves to

Null Zones

Follow the steps in the video. This is for setting any curves, but portrayed is a null zone.

It will show “Current : X.xx -> Y.yy” The Xs is the joystick, the Ys is after the curves.

Deleting Points : Click on the circle icon to delete any point

Interpolate Mode : Different curve shapes

Curves

In this curve, the joystick is less sensitive near center, so you can make minor adjustments without making it abrupt. I like this setting for the rudder pedals especially (I don’t have one) since it allows you to maintain centerline on takeoff but you’re also able to make sharp turns

In this curve the joystick is more sensitive near the center, probably useful if you don’t want to move your hands so much. Me? I never use this one in ANY sim.

Hope this helps!
