I don't know why but everytime my aircraft is hit in some way (eg. flak, bullets etc..) it automatically pulls up and I have a hard time keeping it levelled. I have my joystick pushed all the way down but the plane just keeps climbing. I've never had that happen in cfs1 or 2...I just want to know the reason for that...

If you are able to fly around normally before you are shot I would suggest its because your Elevators/Airlerons are damaged. Default flak bursts will often take you out in one go!

I doubt he would be getting hit in the elevator 'everytime' he gets hit (which is what I gather the problem is).

I've sometimes wondered if there is an issue with CFS3 trim controls and settings. I have problems getting some of the stock planes to trim at all. They just keep wanting to go up. With stick full forward and trim at 100% down, they still want to go up (consequently they are unflyable). This happens most often with the Bf109G, whether on autotrim or not.

So, as I said, I would say there is probably some inherent 'trim issue' with this sim. It wouldn't surprise me. It would just be another problem or glitch to add to the other 3 million that have been identified!

I've found that re-installing the sim seems to solve most of the 'strange' little problems that often arise (I know it's a pain, but...........)  :D ;)

Make shure to put the original exe back in before you run the patch or it won't install.
Once the patch installation is completed get the more recent noCD file, the one that is supposed to work with the 3.1 patch. You should find it here at Simviation.
