elevator sensitivity

[dea]

like every flight sim I've ever used, the elevator sensitivity seems way off. Adjusting it in game doesn't help. You have to go into the aircraft config file and adjust it manually, usually reducing by a half to two thirds. Once done, the aircraft lifts off smoothly and lands without all that jerking motion.

It's a god awful path this time to the aircraft config files, however. For steam it's - users, user name, app data, roaming, microsoft flight simulator, packages, official, steam, asobo aircraft, sim objects, airplanes

Hi,

Which line or which variable did you change ?

And in which file ? because the 'airplane'folder contains lots of files.

 

thx

so far I've only done asobo - aircraft - flightdesignct. Once there go to simobjects - airplanes - asobo flightdesingct - then open the file - flight model. I just use notepad for this. Then scroll down to the heading - flight tuning. The variables here are similar to past flight sims. I set elevator_effectiveness to .5. This does change aerodynamics, so you might want to adjust elevator trim effectiveness up a bit. And if you're into aerobatics, probably best to leave it alone since you obviously want full elevator effectiveness.

ok, thx

i will give it a try

I was just flying the 747 and it went from a vertical speed of 4,000 to -4,000 in about 2 seconds! Can a plane physically do that? Seems a little too sensitive!
