Keyboard controls too sluggish

Sorry if this has been asked and answered many times. I didn't find any result from searching either the forum of Google in general. I've installed CFS3 on my Windows 7 machine. The graphics are fine, and my screen resolution is detected by the program. So far I've only tried the "free flight" to get a feel for the controls. I'm using the keyboard controls because I don't play with other flight simulator programs and can't see buying a device to use with just one program. Way back in the early 1990s I played a lot with a program called Chuck Yaeger's Air Combat and it was addictive. I don't know how they managed to cram so much into 4.3 MB. Anyway, I was hoping for something like that, but in CFS3 the keyboard controls don't act as I would expect. It takes two or three seconds pressing a key to get a reaction, and then it keeps on going. Pitch up and pitch down are especially bad, but trying to turn is a disaster. The keypad 5 key is supposed to return rudder and ailerons to center, but doesn't seem to do anything. The keypad <Enter> key is supposed to turn right, but doesn't seem to do anything. I've looked in the control options and there's no way to adjust sensitivity that I can see. I don't want to set up a complete set of controls to test that option. I changed the keyboard repeat delay to its fastest setting, and that didn't seem to help. Anybody use the keyboard or is it just hopeless?
