When I fly IRL the slower the airspeed the less responsive the ailerons are, but in the sim you can still do quick movements at any speed. I remember seeing some videos with different pressure points and the changes in surfaces would alter those points (but then I see the old TXT files to adjust the plane reactions like drag and makes me scratch my head which model is actually working), anyway, anybody else experiencing this? In XP I was flying the SSG E195 the other day and below 130kts is a challenge and reminded me how different it feels in MSFS (that reminds me the fsx migrated E170 in the store which is a joke and how that has been ported to the new point pressure model is still a mistery 
)

Yeah don’t look at the E190/195, I fly that one in real life and there is no noticeable difference in response. Apart from elevator and rudder the ailerons on the E-jet are not Fly-by-wire so yes there isn’t a FBW gain applied with airspeed, still the aircraft has plenty of roll authority at low speeds. Its certainly not a “challenge” to fly the E-jet at low speed.
I don’t know which E-jet you are using, the SSG one is far from realistic, not sure about the Xcraft version. I think the biggest problem with any sim is the lack of stick force, the controls become more effective at higher speed, but at the same time harder to move due to increased stick force.
MSFS tries to solve this by limit control surface deflection at higher speed and g-loading, in other words, giving full input at high speed won’t result in full control surface deflection, I believe X-plane doing the same. That being said, close to stall speed the control should become sloppy and less responsive.
