Wow, I'm astounded. I reduced Elevator Authority 1 degree and flew the C172, Cirrus Sr72, and Beech Baron. The takeoffs and landings were so much smoother and REALISTIC. Much more like the real life airplanes. I did not expect such a nice surprise. All the twitchyness is gone and such a pleasure to fly now. Thanks for the tip.
I'll have to try this. I recently got the Turtle Beach Velocity One yoke and it's got that NOTORIOUS "sticking" of the Pitch shaft and it's been killing my landings.
Your latest instruction videos are very useful given your actual flight experience. Could I request one regarding aileron trim vs rudder trim and how to know which you need to adjust?
Thanks for the tip. I was going to modify the flight model/controller curve? in general options (I forget exactly what it is called in there) but this could be a better solution. On XBOX CLOUD the controls are over sensitive for me for handling lighter planes even after using the Xbox adjuster option in general settings for Xbox users. A quick fix is to dumb down the mouse/cursor slider in settings (it definitely reduced the controller sensitivity but panning the view around is super slow now) but I am looking for a better solution. This might fix it.
How do i make the slider stay in place? When I go to another aircraft or hit the escape key and check the slider it is back in the default 0.00 position.
Hi , I just tested it again on the 172 as I had the same problem the very first time. I set the elevator slider to -1.2 degrees and then clicked on the 172 picture on the upper left and set the departure runway. Then I pressed fly in the bottom right. It worked perfectly again BUT I could not see any way to lock in the setting that I picked. Maybe they don't want us to use the setting for every airplane type that we fly or even for every flight? Hope you get it to hold for your flight by doing what I did. The handling change is really worth it.

I paused the video at 3 minutes just to comment on that extremely buttersmooth touchdown. Very, very noice!
Adjusted my curves just to fly flyingiron's spitfire; will try out reducing the elevator authority.

I've come to find out the Authority settings are PER AIRCRAFT and NOT persistent.
That really sucks, to be honest. 😭
I dont understand why MS/Asobo didnt make these settings persistent? Its like a tease. "This is what you could have if we didnt suck."
Do you think it will help with the Rudder. I’ve adjusted in the sensitivity settings but still very Squarely. Perhaps Negative side?
I think it would be interesting to do a direct comparison between the authority settings and controller sensitivity.
I'll try this reduction on the rudder. Its very sensitive on my pedals :)
