A few comments after a few hours.

Tip:
A youtuber set sensitives down with extreme deadzone (making the line more horizontal) . This help me with excessive pitch and rudder yaw. I use 20 with no curvature.
There is a page 2 rudder (on walkaround ) to set trim tab.
Other comments:
Pitch down is too excessive at full flap.
Stall speed is less than 40 knots. Makes it difficult to flare. Doubt T tail elevator can hold nose up without stall under 40 knots
Crosswind landing is too difficult. Tried several rudder settings, but still max deflection is not enough. Placard info max is 15 knots. I would say max is 7 knots.
Walkaround iPad is hard to read and hard to find click spots. Easy to miss multi pages.- A great plane! Feels like parking the Ferrari, and blow dust of the old scooter. Fun - fun!

We do have improvements to the pitching effect as flaps are extended/retracted in testing, and they will be included in the next update to the Tomahawk.
We are aware that stall speed is slightly lower than it should be, however, due to limitations with the MSFS flight model any adjustments to increase the stall speed will result in a degradation of the current stall/spin characteristics. We do have this noted, but at the moment it looks unlikely that we will be able to make any changes to the stall speed until more options in the flight model are made available to us, hopefully with MSFS 2024. There are, however, some improvements to the flare/landing behaviour in testing, and they will also be included in the next update.
I personally haven't had any issues with a lack of rudder effectiveness in the Tomahawk, but a lack of rudder effectiveness suggests the crosswind component may be over its limits (note the wind generated within MSFS can be 10 knots stronger than the wind reported by the METAR).
