There has been a fair amount of discussion on how to reduce controller axis sensitivity using the MSFS sensitivity curves, or by modifying the flight_model.cfg files.

If you are using FSUIPC7 another approach to do this is to modify the FSUIPC7.ini file.  For example, the normal elevator range specified under the [JoystickCalibration] heading in the FSUIPC7.ini file for a Saitek yoke is something like this  

Elevator = -16384, -256,256, 16383  

where the  -16384 and 16383 values define the extreme positions of the yoke in pitch.  If you change these values to something 'greater' like

Elevator =  -22380, -256,256, 22380 

pitch control will be less sensitive. Same idea for the aileron and rudder axes if needed.

I found this seems to work well with a/c like the TMB 930.

Just FYI,

I found FSUIPC7 beta to be a very handy Utility especially if you have GoFlight modules or if you want to configure each plane's axis (s) separately.

The Dowsons... both @Pete Dowson and now @John Dowson have been integral to my FS experience since first discovering them with PFC HID many years ago.

Every flight I fly has their fingerprints on it.

But be careful with this... This approach reduces the overall range of your input device. Perhaps it is more useful to use the slope buttons in the FSUIPC menu to control the sensitivity especially in the lower range of your device. But „special“ as MSFS is, I find, that only slope curves with POSITIVE value reduce sensitivity, negative slope increases.

Yes, that is true. You do, for example, need to make sure you have enough elevator 'authority' at low speed such as during the landing flare.

Using the FSUIPC slope curves would seem to have the same issue as the MSFS sensitivity cures, that of accelerated sensitivity over the latter part of the controller's range. But certainly worth trying.

Takeoffs, as always!

EDIT: Tired using the FSUIPC7 Slope curves available on the Joystick Calibration Tab -- Slope values of  +4 or +5 seemed to work fairly well. I would expect what values work best are probably a/c dependent.

Yes, adjusting the sensitivity with the slope curves is really tricky, especially with the rudder. But after I figured out, that I had to set a POSITIVE slope for LESS sensitivity, i am quite happy with the result 🙂

Same here. Setting the slope to positive values made the A320Neo flyable for me.
