I wish we could save stick scaling settings for each aircraft model. It would be nice if they were auto selected when you go to takeoff.

Even 3 or 4 presets would be a huge help.

So you could have one stick setup for Turn & Burn, another for fast planes like P51/109, and a different setup again for bombers, etc.

Good idea baumer and one thats been wished for time and time again.

Ultimately, you only need to scale to get fine-tuning and/or to remove a dead spot or reduce nose-bounce.

Ultimately, the scaling of the stick will not help you fly a plane differently. I have no problems at all switching from a spitfire to a p51 to a fw190 to a ki84 to a 109.

Princess and the pea. You really won't notice much difference.

Well Krusty I understand your point but, if you take a spit at 200mph level and move the stick to generate a 4g climb then take a P-47 and do the same. The stick deflection is very different. I understand this is due to the aircraft model in the game but, if you were actually flying a P-47 in real life it would take a greater deflection than what I get in the game. I know the P-47 will not turn like a spit but, for a given G loading it would be nice if I could change the scaling to get a more consistent stick deflection. In the comparison I was talking about, The spit (Seafire) is about 75% deflection whereas the P-47 (P-47N) was 25% deflection. I know as I get more experience I'll get better at it but, It makes transitioning from one plane to the next more difficult than it needs to be.

Just my noob two cents

Sorry I meant to say 300mph not 200mph in the comparison.
