I just recently bought FS2004 and I just looked at this group so
forgive me for not knowing if this has been addressed before.

In nearly all the aircraft I fly the joystick seems to be very
sensitive. The plane jumps around quite a bit. I thought of reducing
the sensitivity but was concerned that I might not have full field of
travel when I want it. I have noticed the same thing on other MSFSs.
Do I need a new joystick or is that just the nature of the simbeast.

Thanks,

You should reduce the sensitivity. It will not affect the field of travel. A
lot depends on your joystick. If you have been playing shoot-ups then you
may not have the realistic stick which is best for FS2004. Go to alt. games.
microsoft..flight-sim for more detailed help on this. Sure it has come up
before but what the heck, we are nice patient guys in the FS world!

I use an MS Force Feedback USB stick which works well with Win XP.
