Thanks Goat....ya did the boards a nice service here....hopefully a lot of realistic and arcade players take advantage of this info, because I'll tell ya what...lighting someone up on simulator will bring you lads a helluva a lot more enjoyment on simulator than the other two modes....you really get sense of accomplishment from it and thats what gaming is all about....

So damned true. The sense of satisfaction you get from killing someone in simulator mode is unsurpassed by any other mode. Even if you only get 1 kill a match, that kill will give you the satisfaction of 10 on Arcade Mode. To see a bare bones plane in front of you with NO lock on or any silliness like that, then be able to shoot and blast it's wing off and watch him spiral to the ground while fighting off the stall that you threw yourself into to get that perfect shot off (Without the computer telling you that you are stalling) is just an example of the awesome and exhilarating experiences that you get when in sim mode.

Hi PedroTheGoat

Thx for this post cause it helped me quite a lot and I completly agree with you. Unfortunately I play on the PS3 and I cannot join you guys which mentality sticks to mine.

Anyway I have two questions for you that could sound stupid.

this il all about ADJUST YOUR ELEVATOR SENSITIVITY things...

1st:

In the options settings, you can effectively adjust your elevator sensitivity... can you give an example of what you do with the plane you use the most?
For instance: " I fly the spit MKIX and set the ailerons sensitivity max - 5"

2nd ( 2 for the price of one):

Also, while explaining all this, do you refer to the "flow corrector" (sorry if that is the worng term but that is a direct translation from french)?
I mean, when your flightstick is on its neutral position, do you let your plane fly horizontally, or do you set it to fly going up a little bit so this might increase your turning rate?

I hope that my questions were clear...
And thank you for your help I appreciate it much....

I typically fly the La 7 or the Yak 3. La 7 usually gets about -3. Yak gets about -5.

I usually do not adjust my trim. I leave it alone... If you mess with your trim too much then it may mess up your envelope.
