Default RE: AFPD more difficult from AFP?

Torque rolling and hovering is easy on AFP, it gives the impression that the plane is in a more viscous medium than air. That's why someone has to increase the sim speed to simulate real conditions closer. However, this results in very fast and not very smooth movements in other aerobatics such as the rolling harrier for example.

Now with AFPD the planes have a faster tendency towards the ground even at normal sim speeds which makes torque rolling more difficult. At this sim speed rolling harriers are smoother and more realistic. Seriously flying the RM Extra 330S at the CG location and throws suggested by Marteen Demoor reminds me 3Ding with real gassers, smooth, slow and down the deck.

If someone here uses a set up that is very close to reality in his opinion, please let us know.
