Sensitivities Setting

[douglasbuckley]

I would like a little help setting my control sensitivite. Could someone tell me the best settings for airliners like the 737 and also would this change if I was flying a DC-3/DC-4

Thank you for your help.

howdy.
this is a bit lengthy, but...i've been using these ac config setting that i'd gotten from someone at a sim site. the 737 does handle a lot better. make sure you copy the original cfg in case you don't like it. as to flying a dc-4 /6 ; i kept the same settings for the super connie, seems just fine. ['course, if we've never flown one how would we know if it's right?...if it feels good, fly it!]sensitivity on mine is VERY low 'bout 6 for roll 8 pitch with null about middle or less.
