Re: are these real CSA events?

https://imgur.com/a/Su0At I did try setting Pressure support to 4 with no real improvement in CSA events. I do not remember removing it, but must have. I was reading some older posts online and decided to reset the aircurve back to factory default and then put in the original 4 to 15 range. This was...
