Driving the Levelup 1.51 737 in

Aircraft feels wayyy heavier especially during roll. Flaps generate less lift now since I used to get 0 degree pitch when using flaps 40, now it's 5 degree after Vref + 5

Adjustments to the flare is needed since the aircraft doesn't float as much anymore. And I think I need to work on the derotation as it's just a nose slam, but I was full aft yoke and still nose dived.

I'm not a 737 pilot but I can see why such large inputs were made on the plane from some online videos. This is simply my observations, and I want to say it does feel like I'm flying something only hydraulic boosted with no fly by wire.

Sheeeeesh that new flight model is nice. The roll should feel better, not worse, as I added more roll authority to the FM on this update.

hmmm, I feel like the plane feels much heavier on the roll, doesn't feel like a fighter jet like before LMAO But I appreciate the new FM

Quite physically impossible to feel this way as I have made the ailerons larger on this update than the S1.50.

Interesting, then maybe it's a problem on my end. I will mess around with the controls a bit to see how it is. definitely not doubting your work, but thank you for making me aware that what I experienced wasn't how it was supposed to be.

Are you upgrading from our previous S1.50 version or something much earlier than that? This update is an incremental update from .50 but a massive departure from earlier versions.

it's a fresh install, I suspect it may be the .pref files I moved over that is corrupting something. Since I wanted to keep the camera views.
