Yes, you can sort of get around the problem by making a lot of adjustments to sensitivity, null zone etc, but that is really my point--why make the user have to go through all this?
If the sim has the physics right, the default "mid range" sensitivity levels applied to a given aircraft should result in behavior reasonably close to the real thing. The sensitivity adjustments should be just that--minor fine tuning to account for yoke/pedal hardware differences. You can be pretty sure if you have to make big adjustments and push the sliders all the way to one side or the other, something is fundamentally wrong with the basic modeling. That's what I have seen in both FSX and now X Plane 11. FSX was so bad I had to modify the .cfg file to reduce the rudder sensitivity below the minimum level that was available. That should not be necessary. Having to do all this not only puts an unnecessary burden on the user, but gives new simmers who may have no experience in actual aircraft the wrong impression of the control inputs required to taxi and fly realistically.
It would be nice if a brand new flight sim would be able to get this right.

Good points, well made, and I should have perhaps been more clear, as my suggestion had been to help you to get around your apparent problems with FSX and XPlane, rather than specifying how the new sim should behave.

Now that I have invested the time in making all the control adjustments needed I actually have FSX flying pretty well right now. I'm sure X Plane will be OK too, once I get the controls sorted. It's a very nice looking sim on a monitor.
I was not impressed with X Plane 11.20's native VR, however. On my (somewhat antiquated) system I found that at similar graphics settings judder is much worse in X Plane than Flyinside/FSX, contrary to what I was expecting given the reviews I've read. The cockpit instrument resolution wasn't any better, either.
I don't think you should need a supercomputer to flight sim in VR, so I am a big supporter of the design philosophy of the forthcoming Flyinside sim which, as I understand it, seeks to extract as much capability from any as possible from any system by utilizing a 64 bit architecture and more efficiently balancing the CPU/GPU workload. If the devs can pull this off, I think it will be a big advance and bring more flightsimmers into VR.

Just took a look at the new flight sim update. Pretty impressive, so far. One question I did not see addressed in the Q&A relates to airport scenery.
Will we be able to import FSX airport scenery from third party providers like ORBX into the new sim? It would be great to be able to do this.

Thanks for providing the update on Fly-Inside simulator. One question that I did not see on the home page was anything relating to MultiPlayer??? I would love to fly a plane with my brother as a co-pilot and see his virtual hands / hmd avatar. Any plans on multiplayer aspect in the roadmap?

Answers from Dan for you = Multiplayer

Not sure how good it will be at "launch", we're launching with at-least two-player multiplayer.  Plan is to expand that to an arbitrary number of players w/ server finder

And multi-role functionality =

Won't be there at launch, but definitely planned

Hello, there are 15 days left before the end of the first quarter, you confirm the launch on steam for the end of March?
If yes, do you have news?
Greetings.

Google Maps API !!!!!

Would love to see FI make use of Google's upcoming MAP API and take advantage to have real world scenery and perhaps make use of the 3d data for buildings and what not! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=MJPvtx1zymk
