what realism settings in the aircraft realism setings should I use? i am sure i heard somewhere that some sliders such as torque and p-factor are over-reallistic. is this true and if so how far should my sliders be?

thanks

I put everything to the max. Disable autorudder, gyro drift and automixture. I think it comes closest to flying in a real aircraft. Never did that before though..... :'(

I tend to max everything out...

I always flew full realism, until I flew for an airline - then each flight in time was worth more than the realism settings - I won't risk it now. ;)

Speaking only about the Cessnas, the only aircraft I have RL first hand knowledge of, the closest to real life is about a notch or two off full realism on all sliders. Of course since each aircraft in the sim has a different .air and .cfg file you may have to adjust from there depending on the aircraft. Or you could just set them where you feel comfortable and leave it at that.
