As a GA pilot I loved to do forward slips. You know, roll to one side and add opposite rudder to lose altitude quickly. I find that in FSX airplanes this doesn't work; there simply isn't enough rudder authority.
I've tried some serious aerobatics with the Extra 300 but the rudder just isn't very powerful. It won't do knife-edge flight or even forward slips, which is absurd. Is it a shortcoming of FSX, or of the airplane.cfg files?
Bottom line: How can one (if at all) increase the rudder effectiveness on a FSX airplane?

Thanks to all you fellow airplane nuts.
