Probably the only nice FM feature I experienced in MFS after SU6 was the fix to the Legacy-inherited roll rate / inertia limit that was capping the roll rate on aircraft with really hig rates of roll and low roll inertia, like the Extra 300 and so on...

Recently MFS allowed for a much more realistic response of these aircraft to stopping a fast aileron roll.

Would be great if LM could update their FDE too, clearing whatever has been prebventing a roll from being "stopped" like in :

 

 

I use to tune my aircrafts.cfg to a better behavior based on my real experiencie.

Always with a nice result. 

This is my Feelthere E-jet E190

Interesting.

Do you have any thoughts about the flight tuning for the E-170, E-175 and E-195?
Or indeed any other aircraft that you have experience on?

You should get the MOI right before tweaking the flight tuning scalar values.  The stock FS formula usually results in values that are too low.

The best way to determine the MOI is to use this formula from Tom Goodrick:

IX(roll) = ((RX * b)^2) / 4) * BOW / 32.2
IY(pitch) = ((RY * L)^2) / 4) * BOW / 32.2
IZ(yaw) = ((RZ * M)^2) / 4) * BOW / 32.2

where b=span. L=length, M=(b+L)/2 and BOW is basic operating weight for large aircraft or empty weight for small aircraft.

To get the values of RX, RY and RZ, look them up in the following table:

Aircraft_____BASICS SHAPE________RX___RY____RZ
747________Jet 4-eng on wing____0.332_0.380_0.508
737________Jet 2-eng on wing____0.264_0.456_0.517

The problem with the laggy instead of sudden ailero roll stops has to do with an internal legacy limit on how much degree ( actually radian ) per second the FDE can process.

ASOBO has cleared the throttled roll rate in a recent MFS update and now their Extra and Pitts stop the rolls like in their RW counterparts.
