Normally a DX joystick will output a 100% Joystick Deflection signal (see 5.3.1) only
when the joystick is pushed as far as it can mechanically go (for example when it hits
the restrictor plate).
Short Throw Travel increases the joystick gain (output/input ratio) so that less
movement of the joystick is required to generate full output. Increasing the joystick
gain can be useful in two situations:
• A small gain increase (up to 105% or 110%) makes sure that a 100% Deflection
signal is possible in situations where a joystick has not been or can not be
calibrated correctly
• A large gain increase (up to 200%) allows users with very little hand movement
full proportional control.

Warning:
Increasing Short Throw Travel can introduce a safety risk, because the
mechanical resistor plate does not anymore restrict the joystick before
its output reaches 100%. This can cause a situation where the joystick
demands full forward speed
and full turning speed, which can be
dangerous.
