Why would real world roll-rates matter in a simulation, where joystick settings are probably as varied as there are users?
The joystick etc sensitivity settings are done from within the simulator.
- We give recommended settings for our models which is only a couple of parameters.
- The envelope in which you can adjust sensitivity is probably only
a few deg/s, so if the model is off, you cant adjust your way back in.
In other words, if the model is off, you'll notice.

Offcourse spring force, controls travel etc will vary from what equipment you
have. But the point is that for a given % of deflection on any joystick
or yoke you should have an in the ballpark rollrate.

An similar example from real is the 75 and 76. The 767 has half the Control Wheel deflection (45 deg) as the 757 does (85 deg). So the 767 will FEEL
more sensitive than the 757, but they probably have similar roll rates for the
same PERCENT of control wheel deflection.
