And others take far too much… But I’m not sure why you took my paragraph about steering sensitivity to quote and you’re talking about break-away power. They aren’t necessarily the same problem.
The C172 for instance takes too much power to get moving and keep moving. But a lot of 3rd party planes break away power is correct, such as the FBW A32NX which will move at idle and slowly accelerate, several real world A320 pilots have said this is true of the real plane, and reasonably accurate in the FBW.
So thats down to aircraft… The Asobo stuff is weird, as I mentioned. But a lot of 3rd parties get it right (like Just Flight, FBW and various others). Thus, it doesn’t seem to be a problem with the sim.
HOWEVER, the excessive weather-vaning (on the ground) appears to definitely be a problem with tire lateral friction and it is repeatable across pretty much all aircraft regardless of Asobo or 3rd Party, so that problem does seem to be in the core sim.
Adjusting rudder sensitivity absolutely IS a band-aid, as you pointed out. But wearing a bandage while you heal is way smarter than complaining about getting blood all over your couch right? A bandage is what you do while you wait for the Doctor to come fix the sim
