new flight models-realistic?

'its harder to aim now'

You're not kidding... I can't hit a bloody thing anymore!

well yes, you have a big lever for a reason, because at high speed it is necessary to apply a lot of force on high-performance-no-servo planes. I was referring to normal flying, because I've seen a lot of people yanking their joysticks left and right like desperate, when all it needs is a light touch.

Suppose that's one of the many limits of being a desktop flier

You could make a joystick that got heavier relative to in game speed and alt but it would be quite hard

well it was to my great surprise i found out COD + g940 does that.

its priceless.

it goes from deadstick on ground to you really ahve to make a hell of a force at 600 km/h.

in RL piloting you tend to hold the stick with just two fingers really and be really docile on controls in general. The sensitivity and effectiveness of controls is peculiar to each plane, but I think the main mistake many do when using sims is forgetting that the input necessary to control your aircraft are minimal in most occasions.

I have piloted only twice, and thats my observation. The stick is handle with two relaxed finguers and very sensitive. Problem is joysticks are not so good with that small inputs.

Same goes to MS sidewinder ffb2. I would not fly anymore without ffb.

+1 agree,G940 doing great

That's very interesting, but I think I will stick with my modded centre stick warthog, it kicks ass

AGREED, but only regarding straight and level, nav turns and so on. High maneuverability flight and, of course combat (DF) flight, require much bigger inputs and therefore greater forces applied to the controls.

i dont have much experience with prop A/C. I have mainly flown A/C with hydraulic assisted or FBW controls, but I beleive forces needed in WWII A/C (specially at high speed) were even bigger that the ones required on modern jets.

what's this mod about, mate?
