Very touchy nose wheel steering and brakes

[flapsdown 45]

The application level settings that work just fine for all my other aircraft in FSX are way too sensitive on this V35 - the brakes and nose wheel steering are just way too touchy. Has anybody else notice this and/or made adjustments to the configuration files to fix it?Thx,Chris B."flapsdown"

I have rudder and brake sensitivity issues with most aircraft using CH rudder pedals and calibrated through the registered FSUIPC.Which equipment are you using and which settings do you recommend?

[flapsdown 45]

I am using Saitek Rudder Pedals ( along with the Yoke, Thottle Quad and Switch Panel as well), and the FSX app level settings (not using FSUIPC) for the rudder and brakes that is reccomended by them - approx 25% rudder sensitivity with like a 5% null zone , but around 70% brake sensitivity with no null zone for the brakes - these seem to work reasonably well with every other aircraft except this one, so I am kind of hesitant to mess with them and was hoping maybe there was an individual cfg value in the aircraft.cfg that might tone this down a bit...

You can reduce the brakes effectiveness and the nosewheel steering angle by changing the values in red in the cfg file(example below is from a different plane)[contact_points] point.0 = 1, 6.4, 0.0, -4.18, 2000, 0, 0.59, 25.0, 0.32, 1.25, 0.9, 4.5, 4.5, 0, 135.0, 137.0[brakes]toe_brakes_scale = 0.8 //Brake scalar

Also note that Bonanzas were notorious for touchy brakes and poor steering owing to design limitations ......

_{Thx for the responses guys.I will give changing these settings a shot.I wasn't aware that Bonanzas were noted for steering and brakes twitchiness, but this bad boy sure is the most nervous and touchy plane I have...Chris B.}

Is that with the original V35 files or with the new 'optional' FDE....

[flapsdown 45]

This touchy behavior is with the optional FDE - though I did have to copy the [LIGHTS] section over from the original final to get the beacon, strobe and nav lights to work...
