Postby john_uk » Sun Jun 03, 2007 9:54 am

my joystick has starte pulling to the left recently, no matter how many times i calibrate the darn thing it just pulls to the left. ive tried it in several USB ports and just pulls to the left. ive checked the FS settings and they are all central. can anyone suggest anything that might stop this, or is it time to go buy a new joystick?

cheers

Have you tried flying without the joystick (ctrl+k to enable/disable, or unplug) to make sure the problem is there and not a trim or other influence? I find that when that happens it's usually 'cause I saved the default flight with rudder trim not centered.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
