Second this, visually its impressive, but on the rest of the simulator it feels weird, specially the control sensitivity.

I haven't done a full comparison yet because the plane I could compare more directly would involve stock vs payware, which is not really fair.

I do think that they can improve it with time but definitively feels rushed.

Flight sim noob, but that Cessna Citation CJ4 model behaves very oddly. It has this very weird pumping up/down behavior. The 747 model behaves a lot better.

This is not a tolerable release. My gut feeling is that Microsoft needs to get this french studio (Asobo) to spend at least 50% more time on making this work. I don't think they will.

Tbf, the cessna and the 747 will behave very differently. I do think some jerkiness is added by the head camera effects that have been added.

Also the default controller profiles don’t include any dead zone, so at least on my setup, the control inputs were way too sensitive. Once I added some dead zone, and reduced the sensitivity curve in the options, it became much less twitchy.

Yeah, the two subreddits are full of solutions for this for the most stereotypical controller (the xbox one controller). That would be another showstopper in a good launch, sigh.
