I think all of the default planes are way to touchy, the last time I flew in a 172, I had no problems what so ever holding a constant pitch without trim, but in the sim it is REALLY touchy. The King Air 350 seems to be the worst of the lot pitch wise in particular. Is there a way to tone them down a wee bit?

Are you using a keyboard, mouse, or joystick to control the aircraft?  Since this seems to affect multiple aircraft, have you tried adjusting the control sensitivies under Options>Controls>Settings?

I agree. They do seem more sensitive than they should be. You can change control sensitivity in the [flight_tuning] section of the aircraft.cfg file. But first make a copy of the entire .cfg file, just in case.

Here's the Cessna 182's:

[flight_tuning]
cruise_lift_scalar     = 1.0
parasite_drag_scalar   = 1.0
induced_drag_scalar    = 1.0
elevator_effectiveness = 0.8  //1.0
aileron_effectiveness  = 1.0
rudder_effectiveness   = 1.0
pitch_stability        = 1.0
roll_stability         = 1.0
yaw_stability          = 1.0
elevator_trim_effectiveness = 1.0
aileron_trim_effectiveness  = 1.0
rudder_trim_effectiveness   = 1.0

If you want to reduce, say, elevator effectiveness, reduce the value as shown above. The // keeps the value following it from being used by the program, but serves a a reminder where you started if you want to go back to it. Make the changes in small increments until you like the new feel.

After you change any settings, you must reload the airplane so the new settings become active.
