A real life pilot's first sim experience

Yes, but with far more resistance. Because the resistance is so
light, over-controlling is the norm rather than the exception. This
is true with newbies as well as experienced pilots, so it's not just a
personal preference on my part.

Do the CH pedals have adjustable resistance? The Saitek pedals do. The
Saitek also has a vaguely noticeable "neutral" position, which is handy
although it apparently is not realistic (from what I understand, there is no
distinct neutral to rudder pedals in most real-life aircraft).

Another problem is that the CH pedals actually "slide" back and forth,
rather than going "into" anything. This is a subtle but quite
different feel.

I should think that it would be small enough to not be too important. The
feel of the controls in real-life aircraft can vary just as much, particularly
from one type of aircraft to another. And in some large aircraft, the
feedback is purely computer-generated, just like that of a PC simulator.
