PMDG 737 Controls

Featured Replies

also noticed in the customization settings under flight model there is a elevator and aileron authority - what do this do and what settings is everyone using for them? (default seems to be 0)

The PMDG 737 is one of only a few aircraft I have in the sim with no edits to control sensitivity.  They did a good job with the flight model. The -700 is a sensitive, pitchy airplane... that's what makes it fun to fly in reality.

Great data point. 

The problem with people’s settings here - what are you comparing it to?

For most, you can only compare it to other sim airliners. If you’ve got used to the placid A320 NEO, the 737-700 may seem jumpy.

Stearman, what hardware are you using?

interesting observation - so you make no adjustments in the default controller settings (in MSFS) when flying the pdmg 737?

also found out recently (from another forum post) the porposing I was getting sometime with the 737 seemed to be the result of the sim running <30 fps - rather than anything to do with incorrect settings....

Well and that's the other thing, everyone's hardware is different so there's no way to say that it's not overly sensitive for some people.  I'm using a Warthog stick and throttles personally (no extension).

In other sim aircraft that I have found overly sensitive, the magic setting seems to be extremity dead zone.  So if you find it oversensitive, usually adding around +20 - +30 extremity dead zone does the trick.
