I love how the starship feels to fly in the sim. however, there is only 1 thing that bugs me. In all the videos I've seen of one landing, the nose takes a while to come down gently, but in the sim it feels like no matter what I do it slams down really quickly the second the mains are down. I assume this is a side-effect or limitation of how the canard flight model was made to work in the sim. I was wondering if there was any way to adjust the flight model to fix this...

Do you have the "instant beta on touchdown" option enabled. Since the engines are behind the wing on Starship, they provide a parachute-like effect that helps keep the nose wheel off the ground after landing. The real operators tell me that they use this to great effect.
