Flight Sim CH yokes/pedals PIREP

I have the yoke and pedals as well, and I think I easily got my money's
worth in terms of practice (especially IFR) using them. The only major
objection I have is that trim does not work right (but that's true of
almost any type of joystick).


I've got the trim pretty well squared away now. My remaining complaint about
the pedals is that I'm all over the runway with them, even after setting the
sensitivity down to 10% of the default setting. I'm not really sure what to do
about that.

I do find the sim helps me keep a good scan going when I don't fly enough to do
it otherwise.

MSFS doesn't actually decrease the sensitivity of the controls when
you reduce the sensitivity setting; instead, it increases the delay
before it acts upon any control movements. So the controls become a
bit more sluggish and you have more time to correct if you make an
inappropriate control movement before the control surfaces actually
react. But that's not the same as changing the actual sensitivity,
unfortunately. A given displacement of the control still produces the
same displacement of the control surface, no matter what the setting.
All you can change with sensitivity is how long it takes to reach that
point.
