For instance, I set elevators down 6 notches from max when I fly a Spitfire. But for a Bf109 G6 I find I only need to go down 2 notches. The LA 5FN can be flown at full sensitivity. (Disclaimer: my settings are for sim - I have terrible trouble when I fly realistic because I'm too reliant on flaps as well).

Some people turn down their roll sensitivity too, but I don't see the sense in that - it just reduces your roll rate, and doesn't really make you less susceptible to stalling.

And don't forget to crank it back to max again if you join an arcade game lol. Believe me you'll need it! If only I had Spinal Tap settings so I could go to 11...

It may have been the nature of the planes, but I doubt WW2 aces were using the tiny little sticks on gamepads lol. So I wouldn't worry about it - why have no fun constantly fighting stalls in the name of authenticity?
Awesome, Spinal Tap reference
