January 17, 200422 yr Adjusting cfg file for control sensitivity?I remember this discussion coming up last fall. I know that you can adjust the numbers in an aircrafts CFG file to dampen the sensitivity. I had adjusted the Baron and King Air to make them more flyable (the seem extra sensitive for some reason). Unless there is a better way to tame these two aircraft I figured I would start here.Anyway I recall that you enlarge the number for each flight control, but I cant remember to what degree. I know I will have to play with it a bit, but can anyone give me a good starting point? The default for all controls is 1.0.example CFG file im talking about.[flight_tuning]cruise_lift_scalar = 1.0parasite_drag_scalar = 1.0induced_drag_scalar = 1.0elevator_effectiveness = 1.0aileron_effectiveness = 1.0rudder_effectiveness = 1.0pitch_stability = 1.0roll_stability = 1.0yaw_stability = 1.0
January 17, 200422 yr These are numbers that I got from another post although I cannot remember by who. The poster described the Baron as 'owly' and that's a great description. Try doing a search on 'owly'.These are the numbers from the post although I have my elevator trim a bit lower than the posts suggestion which was .6 I think. The others are the same as the post. The Baron is still a little difficult to get under control until cruise altitude is reached but after trimming it maintains altitude surprisingly well with these numbers and it lands pretty well also.cruise_lift_scalar = 1.0parasite_drag_scalar = 1.0induced_drag_scalar = 1.0elevator_effectiveness =0.3aileron_effectiveness = 0.6rudder_effectiveness = 0.6pitch_stability = 1.5roll_stability = 1.3yaw_stability = 1.1elevator_trim_effectiveness =0.35aileron_trim_effectiveness = 1.0rudder_trim_effectiveness = 1.0
January 17, 200422 yr Perhaps an easier way, though not aircraft-specific, is to use the FS9 menu and adjust sensitivity there. If you have CH Yoke or pedals, the CH Control Manager has some neat graph adjustment that can dampen the sensitivity at the center of an axis.Depend, of course, on whether or not you have the same problem with other aircraft. I find that by reducing the sensitivity at center of axis, that I get a "heavier" and more realistic feel to the rudder/steering with my pedals, and finer control of ailerons.MDavis
