I didn’t have an issue in the flights, and I haven’t noticed an aim assist change since then… So I don’t think so, and given that sensitivity was much higher in previous titles, I don’t think it is particularly valid to say higher sensitivity correlates to higher aim assist. Also, they can just make each adjustment have a greater effect or add more sensitivity values (perhaps to 20) and keep aim assist where it is. Then, if you really cannot hit anything on the higher sensitivities, you’ll lower them on your own.
Unfortunately, as mentioned in my original post, I’ve already maxed all of those settings. Ultimately, the issue is with the sensitivity settings themselves. You can test it if you want, but you can max acceleration, max input thresholds, minimize deadzones, and then using sensitivity 10, time a full 360 spin. What’s crazy, is that if you then keep all settings the same, but drop sensitivity to 5, you have the same time to spin 360…
Input thresholds make it such that you reach maximum input closer to the stick center. At 0, maximum input occurs when your stick is all the way to the edge.
