Hello Extra
As good as some of these Flight Sims are, they cannot exactly duplicate the "real" thing....However, in an attempt to answer your question, rolling turns are very hard to do well. They take a lot of practice, harmony and rhythym and precise control inputs. All of these things you might be doing wrong listed above are probably correct. Think rudder and lead the maneuver with rudder. It will help you "slide" around the turn.
Hope this is a little bit helpful.
Patty

Thanks Patty I was doing all of them wrong until i got the logitech wingman extreme joystick and now i can do them good but not perfect I have flight unlimited it has the basic 90* rolling turn on it so far I have scored a 5.1 and getting better the last time I tried it I got a amazing 6.5 on it so i should think rudder then add rudder in the direction of the turn ok what if its a outside rolling turn same thang rudder in teh direction of turn
