Flight Stick Axis Sensitivity?

[AndyJWest]

At the moment, having to alter stick response each time for different aircraft would be a pain, and I expect most of us just find a compromise that works for us. Whet suits you may not be what suits others, but as you say the manual suggests an alternative setup if you are having problems:

For those who experience difficulties controlling aircraft with the default joystick profile (axis
sensitivity curves in the Input menu),we provide sensitivity curves that we found more suit-
able for most of the modern input devices.
To set up the curves,go to the Input menu under the Hardware Setup in the Main Menu,and
adjust the values according the following chart:
Pitch:
0 5 10 17 25 33 43 54 71 100
Roll:
0 3 7 15 25 35 50 66 84 100
Yaw:
0 8 19 29 39 51 62 75 86 100

Note that though this reduces sensitivity near the stick centre position, it will increase it at the extremes - if it didn't, you wouldn't get full control surface movement.

As I understand it, Team daidolos were looking at including multiple user-defined control setups in a future patch - enabling different sensitivity curves for different aircraft.

The P-51 is a bit of a beast for a beginner - it is a little easier to handle with a lower fuel load. With Spitfires, force feedback helps if you have it - you feel the shake at the onset of stall. Otherwise, you have to rely on visual signs, and experience. If you are really struggling, try something with easier handling - a Hurricane perhaps, or one of the earlier Japanese fighters - they are mostly fairly forgiving.
