Ok I have just got FS2004 and whenever I start up a flight the rudder seems to move to the right and will not budge. Even when i realign it to the center it still moves to the right again immediately. It doesnt matter which aircraft this is with.

This obviously makes the plane almost uncontrollable and it pretty much flies around in circles.

Any idea what is causing it and how it can be fixed? It has done this since installation. I also have FSX installed if it makes any difference, and am using a Saitek X52 joystick/throttle.

Cheers.

Unistall the Saitek software and unplug the joystick. turn off the computer, replug the
joystick and reboot the computer.

XP will find new hardware and install a driver for it. It is a better driver than the one
that came with the stick.

To recalibrate, just unplug the stick for a few seconds and it will be fine.

It happens to me all the time all i do is shut off the MFS2004 unplug the joystick and replug it in.

I never uninstall it or anything in that matter.

Make sure the drivers are gone too ... don't just uninstall the software.

On the throttle part of the X-52 there is a small wheel with a blue button called "I". Make sure this wheel is absolutely centered. If not it will screw up your rudder. Another solution to this is to turn that wheel completely to the left or right and then center your rudder using a keyboard command. Just don't ask what that command is......

No prob. I happened to be looking at the list of key commands in the Learning Center.
