Can someone tell me why a modern sim has horrendously high sensitivity issues out of the box when FSX, P3D, DCS etc had this sorted out back in 2007? It seems we have taken a step in the wrong direction. Yes I know you can reduce the sensitivity in settings, but even this isn’t enough… I even resorted to trying the legacy flight model to see if that made things better, but nooo…
Landing an aircraft in this sim is downright traumatizing, I mean the 172 is the Toyota Corrola of the skies, yet on the sim its more like being a 2 year old learning to ride a bike…
I am a RW pilot and flight instructor and I’ve heard much the same from my colleagues who play this sim.
Currently I have resorted back to P3D, much more realistic sensitivity, complete IFR support, reliable RW weather, ohhh and Hectopascals as a subscale option!
Don’t get me wrong, there are aspects of this sim that blow me away, the potential is there!
However the sim has been released for more than 4 months now, one would have thought that some of these simple teething issues would have been resolved. World updates and the like might be cool for the ‘gamers’ of this community, but I believe more time needs to be spent on the core sim before anything else.
Anyhow rant over, I’ll just be over in the P3D corner, peeping over the fence occasionally to see if the developers have taken a step in the right direction.
These hints might help in the mean time while we wait for a better solution from Asobo…
Using the first hint below, I reduced my elevator_effectiveness from 1.0 to 0.2 and it worked very well. I set it up as a community folder mod so I don’t have to touch the original files and it continues to work after updates.
No way…you are just too used to the fake flying on rails physics/aerodynamics of the older sims.
The jerky wonky twitchy bipolar nose trim sensitivity and controls of MSFS are fine and just very realistic because real pilots here say so! Learn to handle "realistic study level physics"
Maybe it’s the particular hardware your using to control the planes as it feels fine to me using honeycomb yoke with 0 on sensitivity and on the deadzones.
