Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I only adjust elevator sensitivity - not ailerons (sp?). That surely won't affect my roll rate much, if at all?

doin the same thing here, some planes I take a notch down but thats it

... and again aviator layout is the best way to go with the control pad imho... pretty much all the best players in sim on psn use it

[Panzergranate]

It is the sharpness of the handling of some aircraft in sim and realistic modes that gives them an edge.

Anything that blunts this compromises its potential.

[InfiniteStates]

I find what compromises potential is constant stalling because I moved the stick 0.5 degrees more than I meant to in the heat of battle. I'll stick to my reduced control pad elevator sensitivity thanks

[Panzergranate]

Perhaps I just have steadier hands than average players. Working with high voltage, in past jobs, so having a steady hand is a matter of survival.

Perhaps riding motorcycles gives me the speed of reactions to fly with everything at 100% maybe. Dodging the tinned vegetable life in rush hour makes a large intence dogfight look pretty mild.

I've notice that a few players also fly RC aircraft, which I used to do, which seems to also encourage fast reactions.

LOL nice phrase...

You really do take your life out of your hands doing that, because "vegetable" is wholly apt to probably 80% of drivers
