Simviation Forums

I just signed on the forum and also installed 2004 a couple days ago.  I would like to have help with the DC-3.  So far the airplane seems to be working ok, but...while flying along straight and level, I make a turn and then the airplane's nose will pitch up and I use all of the down trim and it still wants to pitch up.  I reduce power untill the nose comes down and trim the airplane again.  The same thing happens when I make a turn.  Maybe there is a patch for correction or maybe it's me.

Strange, works fine for me, are you using a joystick of some sort?  if so what kind, the experts here will be able to help you out a lot more if you provide more details about your settings and your equipment you use.  

-Note- I'm not one of the experts here, I just know the forums really good  ;)

Thanks Big Truck ... the joystick is a new Saitek AV8R-01.  The instillation went well, but I haven't programed all the bells and whistles yet.  The instructions said that  it wasen't necessary to program it right away.  I could do it later.  The joystick seems to work just fine with the exception mentioned.  Thanks

No problem!  

Another thing I would do is check your settings (auto rudder, realism settings, stuff like that)  Sometimes just tweaking your settings a bit can help a lot.

One last tip as well, browse the forums here while you are waiting for an answer, your question might have already been answered a while ago, there is tons of knowledge here at SimV, plus you will pick up on some tweaks and upgrades.  It's been amazing how much i have learned from everyone here (from computer aviation to real aviation)

And of course, welcome to SimV  8-)

Thanks again Big Truck.  I'll check the previous info.

Welcome to SimV, Soloman. And good for you for flying the DC3, it's one of the more distinctive models in FS.

Always a bit of guesswork involved at first - but from what you say this only happens with the DC3, not with any other aeroplane? Which suggests that the problem is not in your settings or anything.
