    Hello,

    First of all, I would like to express my admiration for all the details in every aspect that this aircraft possesses. But does anyone fly it manually without using the autopilot, especially in turbulent conditions?

    I have the feeling that it is too light and overly sensitive and wild on the controls. In my Thrustmaster Airbus edition, I have the sensitivity curves set to over 50% just to feel any resistance on the controls.

    In reality, I fly a much smaller aircraft, and believe me, sometimes you really need to turn the yoke harder to counteract the forces. Here, there is virtually none of that. Additionally, in turbulent conditions with the turbulence scale set to medium in MSFS, this aircraft moves in all directions like crazy, making it almost uncontrollable.

    The control feel is perfectly captured in another addon, the FlightSim Studio Tecnam 2012. There, you can feel the inertia and that you are flying an aircraft with mass.

    What are your thoughts? Maybe the developer could comment on this matter. From what I saw in the manual, the topic of sensitivity and control settings is completely omitted. Maybe opinion form RL pilot about sensivity will be great.

    Thanks,
    Seb.

    I haven't noticed that but haven't flown in turbulent conditions. I do notice that if I turn off the autopilot while flying with the simulator rate at 2 or 4 :-)

    Agreed, personally a 20-30% sensitivity setting on pitch and roll made it much more stable.

    Feels normal to me. I've only taken the plane on two flights but have had to do a lot of hand flying due to issues with the AP, and it flies smooth and steady and feels like it has some weight to it.
