My yoke is CH Products Yoke. I think (as I see in the code) than FlightGear tests yoke position every input.cxx pass. If it finds that yoke position is different of the virtual yoke it applies real yoke position. And when the autopilot is changing virtual yoke it is different. My simptoms are that I see everytime I engage autopilot my yoke moving very quickly from real yoke position to AP position and then from AP to yoke. > > > If your joystick is noisy, you may be able to solve the > problem by configuring a slight "dead band" in your joystick, > using existing configuration features. No, it is not noisy. I have tested it with utils and found that my yoke is very quiet.
