No Joystick sensativity for P3/MH-60R ?

I tried to experiement using my joystick with the P3 and the MH-60R.
Total distaster.

The P-3 flies like a ship in the air, bouncing up and down because the update rate for my joystick isn't fast enough for high speed turns and maneuvers.
Is there no way to set the sensativity for the joystick if you plan to fly the airborne platforms?

Well, all I can say is that this is not a flight sim. I am somewhat dismayed that the P-3 and MH-60 have the agility of a sloth.

Since I have neither flown a P-3 nor a MH-60 Helo I can't comment on the realism of the joystick control of both platforms, however the MH-60 in game flies ok with a good joystick and the P-3 is certainly a big plane which means it wont fly like a jetfighter - still its response is different from what you would expect.

Anyway, as pointed out above - this is no flightsimulator. You hardly need to fly the P3 manualy and as far as the Helo goes, the controls are adequate for landing it on a FFG (or other landing platform) - which by all means is the only time I would consider flying the help by hand.

At all other times you are far better off by letting the Autopilot handling the Helo and managing everything else yourself.
