Strange problem - Planes pitching up

[NitroPower]

This is the answer to many things:




Delete the FSX.CFG file.

Sure. Won't that like... crash FSX?

Oooh. I'm such a noob. Lol. I'll give that a shot.

There is one more question, what altitude are you flying at. If you overloaded and flying to high that will happen  too. Make sure you are flying below the planes maximum altitude and that its not overloaded.

[Abstraction]

It happens at any altitude. I deleted that fsx file and it didn't really do anything.  :'(

What is your joystick? If it has a trim setting on it, make sure it is centered. I know if I don't center my X52, planes are uncontrolable. Sounds similar to what you discribe.

By the way, welcome to the forum. You are one of the only girls here. Mostly just guys. I was almost fell out of my chair when I saw the gender under your name.  ;)

Aww, thanks for the welcome! Lol. I do have trim on my joystick, it's a flight sim yoke LE, and my trim is always centered, but I tried going full forward with it and even that didn't doo pooey.  :'(

I guess if all fails, and it doesnt fix itself.... may just wanna try to uninstall and reinstall FSX and start fresh.

Does the pitch trim indicator in the aircraft respond to the yoke's trim wheel/switch and does it stay where you leave it or move back to nose up?

Uhh, the trim doesn't respond to the trim on my yoke, the trim on my yoke is directly linked to the elevator control. I tried using the mouse to put the trim full forward but that didn't seem to do it...

[dave3cu]

What attitude does the trim indicator show...full nose up?.

When you try to manually trim, does the trim indicator respond, but then return to its previous position when you cease your manual input? (Note: Easier than the mouse, you can manually trim from the numpad; numlock/off then 7=nose down  and 1=nose up.)

Any of the above might indicate that some other input is controlling the trim. Either AP-Alt hold or possibly an errant control assignment.

It doesn't return to any weird position, and thanks for the keyboard trim tip. It does this pitching up thing from the moment it takes off.

Double check your joystick connection.  The plug may be loose, or it's also possible your joystick is defective (broke wire in the inside, possiblities)

The cessna, P-51, and a bunch of other small prop driven aircraft work fine though. It's only jets and stuff.  :o
