Postby lilpilotty » Fri Aug 22, 2008 11:26 pm

Question...

Does your Joystick have "twist" function to operate the Rudder (and nose wheel)?

If you can only use it for controlling the Alerons to "steer" left and right, you will have that problem!... :o...!

Null zone. INCREASE the null zone for the rudder axis and see if that helps.

This should only need doing once. I've had my present joystick for almost 10 years & used it on at least 3 different computers. I can't remember the last time I calibrated it.

and yes it does have the twist function but thats the problem since both turning and twisting taxi the plane whenever i twist the aileron turn kickes in and turns it to much.

Sounds like you have Auto-rudder enabled. Go to FS Settings & disable it.

I use a Siatek ST290 PRO cheapie twist with the laptop & all my flying machines behave whilst taking off  ::)  I've even got Auto-rudder enabled.
