To 172 pilots:

[Guest wyoming]

what are the reality settings you find most convincing for this a/c? Strangely enough I don't have any time on this a/c and it feels somewhat "light" with the settings recommended for the Marchetti. Thanks.

"Hard" realism settings are obviously the most realistic.Pat

[Guest wyoming]

Otherwise why would RealAir recommend less than hard?

Hm, it could be that RealAir has some realism setting modelled into the package and/or adjusted them to be more accurate, because the "realistic" settings in FSX are not that realistic after all.I am not sure. *shrug*

Generally speaking, the default planes are definately more realistic a few notches down. They are just hard to fly on the full right- harder than necessary anyway.

I agree I dont' have a pilot's license but have 10 hours in a Cessna 172 and full hard it seems much harder than in real life. However it might by my joystick versus a real yoke in a real plane.

[Guest wyoming]

than the real PA-19 I flew (which was pretty light) with settings about 1/2 way, whereas the Marchetti seems heavy enough. Of course, joystick is an issue but I have a decent Saitek X52. With your 10 hours what is the setting you find convincing?

Feels just about right to me,Slow, light, and gutless! :7 L.Adamson
