I’ve been working on a custom Sidestick profile for the MOZA AB9 base that tries to match the real Airbus A32X Sidestick feel as closely as possible. I based everything on EFCS data and actually measured the required forces at different stick deflections using a measuring device (dynamometer). Those values were then converted and tuned for the AB9 in the right ratio between required roll vs. pitch force.

Here’s what you’ll notice & the results are as follows:

• Max. pitch-axis travel has been limited to 16° to match with real Sidestick travel limit
• Every axis is different in feel and force, meaning pitch axis requires more force than roll axis
• The pitch and roll forces were measured using a dynamometer on four actual Sidesticks
• The pitch axis has less damping, allowing it to return to center more quickly, while the roll axis feels slightly more damped and stable
• Dampening tuning is based on a frame-by-frame recording analysis
• Authentic feel around the center position (tweaked live in a LEVEL-D simulator)
• Accurate inertia and strenght (tweaked live in a LEVEL-D simulator)
• Output-mapping curves for pitch and roll are based on the EFCS relationship between Sidestick deflection and flight-control-surface deflection
• Sidestick Solenoid/AP lock feature included (MOZA Cockpit v1.1.3 firmware or higher & Base firmware v1.1.5.2 or higher is required)

This preset has been tested & compared in a LEVEL-D simulator with original Sidestick assemblies. Overall, the goal was to make Airbus A32X flying feel as authentic as possible on the AB9 based on accurate Sidestick force measurements and technical data.
