Something I've noticed, when watching gun camera footage, the plane firing seems remarkably stable, not yawing wildly back and forth with the slightest rudder input. So to the OP, as a pilot, would a plane behave like they do in the game? I would love it if we could adjust rudder sensitivity as well, it might help. As it stands, if you try to use your rudder to tweak your aim a bit, you start to yaw like crazy. Some planes are worse than others.

I can imagine the fighters would experience a large effect from rudder input, but the pedals have way more resistance then the joystick, making it easier to make small adjustments. This also meant a pretty big force was required for full rudder input.

Kinda what I thought, wich is why I wish you could turn down the rudder sensitivity. In the game it seems like it doesn't take much input at all to make a big change. I've also heard if you're flying with the aviator control set up, you don't really get incremental control over the rudder, it's just 0 or all the way over to either side.

Actually, I can understand what your saying. Pretty much all those old planes have a huge rudder and usually the entire thing moves. Not only that but the rudder moves pretty far on those planes. This will make the rudder very sensitive. At my flight school we have 2 citabria's. I have personally not flown it but all my friends who went from the cessna 172 to the citabria say that the rudder is extremely sensitive. So yes, this is realistic but I can see how it would be frustrating from a gamers perspective.

I won't take it too seriously, but I have'nt seen any American say anything like that about the U.K. or any other country on this forum. I know Live is a different story, but there is blame on all sides for idiotic comments. Like your last two.

Who's the prick?

That sounds like you pretty much took it seriously.
