March 25, 20224 yr Well 70 kts is the POH short field climb speed. For a normal take-off on a paved runway the POH recommends more like 85 kts. I agree on the controller thing. I use a MS FFB2 and a Fulcrum. The Fulcrum with heavy springs and an 8" pitch axis is OK as it is, I fly with a linear profile and no dead zones at all on my Fulcrum. The FFB2 on th eother hand, I had to max out the forces in XPForce and also needed to soften the profile and add dead zones. Edited March 25, 20224 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick

Is what I usually do, is initially trim for the 70knts so that I can clear any objects. When satisfied that no further objects are evident on my proposed course, I will then lower the nose and re-trim for 80 - 85knts. If I am climbing to say 12,000 feet or more, then I will trim for 95knots until reaching my planned altitude. Like in real life flying, trim is your friend. It saves a lot of stress on your flying. I found I needed fairly wide nul zones and a soft profile to make my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro stick work with light aircraft and flyable in MSFS. It is interesting trying the different settings in the MSFS controls, and find the combination that works. Geoff Bryce
