I agree with Mark, the 707 is not as fast in pitch trim as the 727. The 2D autopilot seems to work pretty well. Use quick taps of the mouse button on the pitch wheel up or down, and watch the pitch change on the horizon. With short taps on the pitch wheel I find I can control the pitch pretty well.

If your problem is the elevator authority, a force feed back stick, as CoolP said, will help make the force a bit more realistic.

Hello Captain! First of all, it's a pleasure to talk with such an experienced aviator like you!

What I feel is that the plane , under manual control (autopilot OFF) is quite sensitive to pitch inputs. It seems that the trim is way too effective. Under pitch control by the autopilot, it behaves in a fine way, but very little trim inputs (eg. one click on the trim button) causes a quite large pitch change...

I'm using AP ON just afetr takeoff in order to acheive a nice pitch control,but  would like to fly the initial climbout and IFR approaches with AP OFF. Is it possible to edit the CFG in order to make the pitch trim less sensitive under manual flight?

Thanks for the help!
