how can I adjust the controls on planes. a few planes has sluggish controls and want to fix it some how. by sluggish I mean turning, climb and descend. when I take off from a 12,000 ft runway I should take off about 3/4 of a runway. not with the yoke pull all the way back on a 12,000 ft runway, ran off the runway and crashes into buildings and trees come on now I'm flying a 777. eventually I take off after I ran into some buildings and trees after another 5000 ft beyond the runway. but even if I can get up into the air the controls still sluggish on turning and climb and descend.

Things like this can be common in freeware aircraft there are a couple of sections that you can adjust that might help this. Sometimes nothing will work
One section is the aircraft CFG file this is where you will find most of your adjustments. I would recommend that you find a aircraft that is similar to the one you are having problems with .
For example if you are having trouble with a B737-300 or a B737-400 than compare the default aircraft with the problem aircraft. There are several sections that you want to look at one has to do with weight and balance another has to do with how the control surfaces work and another has to do with the engines them selves.
This is a slow process of trail and error because there is so much that can be wrong
Here are examples of some of the sections you need to check
[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar=1.0
parasite_drag_scalar=1.0
induced_drag_scalar=1.0
elevator_effectiveness=1.0
aileron_effectiveness=1.0
rudder_effectiveness=1.0
pitch_stability=1.0
roll_stability=1.0
yaw_stability=1.0
elevator_trim_effectiveness=1.0
aileron_trim_effectiveness=1.0
rudder_trim_effectiveness=1.0
Like I said this is a slow process only make small changes and only one area at at a time
Some times the easiest way to solve the problem is to trash the aircraft and look for a different download.
Some designers are just not that good and the end result really shows.
