"Linear Control Utility"

This FlightAdventures install will configure your installation of
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004's controller operation to behave in a
linear fashion as opposed to the default time-delay operation. In our
experience, linear controller operation is more realistic.

Notes:
=======
- This utility has only been tested on Windows XP systems.

- After installing this change, you may need to change your
sensitivities sliders. To properly adjust controller sensitivities,
switch to spot view (Shift S) and pan the view around using the Num
Pad keys so that you’re viewing the aircraft from the rear. Watch the
control surfaces while moving each controller axis and adjust its
Sensitivities slider so your controller physically reaches the end of
its travel axis at the same exact moment that the control surface
reaches its maximum deflection. (If the control surface bottoms out
while your controller still has travel left, reduce that axis’
sensitivities setting and vice versa.) Once you’ve got the sensitivities
adjusted, reduce elevator sensitivities by four to six increments. (This
compensates for the unrealistic over-sensitivity along the simulator’s
pitch axis.) It takes some effort to do all of this, but it’s well worth
it.

- Flight Simualator 2004 must be shut down before installing this
add-on.

- You must have FS2004 installed for this utility to be of any use!
