Default Realistic Instrument Training using MSFS 2004

I've been told that all sims have overly sensitive pitch. That has been
my
experience with a Frasca, ASA's Instrument Procedure Trainer, and Elite.

Hard
to understand why no one fixes it, but apparently they don't.


I haven't tried those simulators, just MSFS. I would be willing to
pay the bucks if it would help. It's a lot cheaper than an extra
lesson (or two or three).

I have read that the old Link Trainers were very sensitive in pitch, and
also much more slippery than the aircraft they were intended to train
for--such as B17's. In the case of the Link, I presume that was by design;
however I have difficulty believing that MSFS would have been done that way
deliberately.

I have no experience in the Link, or in any of the PC based sims. I am
simply curious and inviting comment.
