No problem RP. I agree, it shouldn't be mandatory for all in Simulator mode. But it would be real nice to have a Custom mode (which Wings of Prey has and which I'm pretty sure will find its way to Birds of Steel) with the option to set up a game for full sensitivity. You're right, it's a gaming skill but for me also somehow a flying skill, although it's true that a real airplane would give you MUCH better clues than a gamepad. For me however (personally) limiting the travel of your primary flight controls so that accellerated stall becomes impossible just robs the airplane of some essential flying characteristics which are part of flight.
