Default planes over sensitive?

[wifesaysno]

I think all of the default planes are way to touchy, the last time I flew in a 172, I had no problems what so ever holding a constant pitch without trim, but in the sim it is REALLY touchy. The King Air 350 seems to be the worst of the lot pitch wise in particular. Is there a way to tone them down a wee bit?

Try and lower the realism settings a tiny bit. They do tend to be a bit twitchy on max

Are you using a keyboard, mouse, or joystick to control the aircraft?  Since this seems to affect multiple aircraft, have you tried adjusting the control sensitivies under Options>Controls>Settings?

I winch the sensitivity down to zero, and turn off the Force Feedback!...they are annoying!

The real forces are felt in your bum...not in your hands... ...!

Paul...May the Force be with me... 8-)...!

I agree. They do seem more sensitive than they should be. You can change control sensitivity in the [flight_tuning] section of the aircraft.cfg file. But first make a copy of the entire .cfg file, just in case.

Here's the Cessna 182's:

I use mainly the Thrustmaster X HOTAS stick/throttle but I have a Saitek ST290 twist stick with throttle. With either one they are over sensitive...especially with the Saitek after I greased the stick now that stick is PERFECT for aerobatics!!

Art, I will try editing the aircraft cfg's, thank you for the pointer!

I would prefer to not adjust my realism settings only because I do not want to affect the free ware planes which are all perfect for me sensitivity wise.

Thanks again folks!
