After some hardware complications, I installed FSX and P3D, each on a separate hard drive. For some reason neither simulation will recognize the realism settings. No matter whether the Piper J-3 or Cessna 172's realism sliders are at EASY, MEDIUM, or HARD, they fly like they are set at easy. They don't pull to the side during take off, nothing. Interestingly, the fsx.cfg and Prepar3D.cfg files show that the realism settings are being changed. FSX example of my cfg file:
[REALISM]
PFactor=1.000000
Torque=1.000000
GyroEffect=1.000000
CrashTolerance=1.000000
General=1.000000
UnlimitedFuel=False
TrueAirspeed=False
AutoCoord=True
RealMixture=True
StressDamage=True
GEffect=True
ManualLights=True
GyroDrift=True
CrashWithDyn=True
CrashDetection=True
AutoTrim=False
AllowEngineDamage=True
Any ideas as to what's going on?
