I’m a newbie - why does the \*slightest \*touch on the flight controls send an Airbus A380 spiraling wildly or 60 degrees upwards into a stall?

I’ve even purposefully set my controls to low sensitivity. Yet all it takes is one slight touch and the thing flies wildly out of control.

I’m referring to the game here:

What controls are you using? I just took off and did a few turns in the A380 using keyboard controls, no problem.

I don’t know then. I flew it using everything on the default settings. Did you change anything other than the sensitivity?
