Aircraft stall way to easy?? game dosent 'feel' like IL:2

In my view it was the right decision to have the option to change the sensitivity to the way you want it. Why is it a bad thing that you’ve got an advantage over the competition, after all it was your action/preparations that gave you this edge and therefore is it not deserved? Was it not possible to do adjustments to your plane during WW2? If a pilot had any problems with is aircraft would he say he didn’t want to make any adjustments because he didn’t want to cheat? The option to change sensitivity sounds (I have not played the game yet as I have a Ps3, I must admit this) as if it adds rather than takes away from the immersion. It would also be foolish for other players to keep on the default setting just to please the other players who choose to ignore the option for their own personal reasons. The world has to move forward, if that makes sense. You can’t wait for the competition.

But I'm new to simulation games so I don't know if I'm missing something

Only in trim (German Flettner tabs are only adjustable on the ground so work within a speed range and many aircraft didn't have aileron trim either such as the Spitfire) which just means you can adjust your overall direction of flight without fighting the stick, its not the same as changing your sensitivity, however its still not cheating.

However I think its lost on some people that controlling a highly sensitive plane with a 1cm long stick when the real thing was controlled by a 2ft long solid control column is a bit different and sensitivity setting changes are more a requirement!

All-in-all i'd say that setting the right sensitivity (to your liking) also is a skill, therefor it can stay.

Last note, i still think the default sens should not be set on 100% (18/1

because ppl trying the sim mode and spinning on every turn isn't what you want to sell as first impression. I would have set the default at 10/18 or something (just as in regular FPS the default is always somewhre in the middle and never on the extreme)

my .02 cents

Good call.

After doing loads of flying with both pad and joystick I found that around 10/18 for pad and 12/18 for joystick is the sweet spot.

Everyone needs to realize the stall problem should be fixed when Techland releases a patch for the Full game.

Anton already stated it is a glitch that no audio plays before you enter a stall. Trust me when you HEAR the plane shuddering you will ease off the stick.

Yeah, it will help a ton. Agreed.

I use pretty high sensitivity

Is it me or does the P51 seem slow and sluggish, i thought it was supposed to be nimble and fast!

Just the fast bit, it's a pretty average at low speed turns.

people are actually claiming adjusting sensitivity is cheating? Honestly the pedantry on this forum is reaching new heights...

of course you will callibrate a stick to suit your playing style..

When playing with the AV8R I don't turn down the sensitivity. For most turns I only pull the stick halfway. Only at very low speeds I can pull the stick to its full extent without stalling.

When we'll have a sound indication about the impending stall I think it will be much easier to control the planes in IL-2.
