Strange problem - Planes pitching up

[Brando14100]

And this happens during keyboard flying as well? Meaning the control yoke is unplugged from your system.

Yup. I've tried multiple controllers and yet it pitches up.

There's two ends to a plug.  the part you plug in, and the socket it plugs into.  If it's a USB, and you have another available port, try it in another port.  If it's the kind with the round connector like the ones that plug into a sound card visually inspect that connector on the card. and make sure it's not cracked, which would cause loose pins.

Do some tests with your joystick:



Make sure everything works, moves things...

Recalibrate if needed, or if unneeded, do something to wake your controlers up:



And this does happen with the keyboard too? No controlers at all.

Yep, keyboard too. BUT: The cessnas and other small prop planes fly fine.

[Boikat]

Very strange indeed.  How about helicopters?

[Abstraction]

Yeah, the big jet helicopter thing from the acceleration pack, sorry, I'm dumb, can't remember what it's called, does it too.

The EH-101.

Your cargo doesn't have a lot of excess weight in the back does it? Guys, could this be a problem with the Aircraft.CFGs?

Huh, I'll check that out. Maybe it does.

I doubt that's the problem, since you would have to 1) edit the cfg to shift the cg, or 2) (and I haven't messed with it, myself) load cargo on the pre-flight menu page.

If you install the add-on, there shouldn't be too much in the way of "off CG" weight, at least I never had any add-ons with that problem.

But what's odd is how the symptoms only appear on "heavies", and not the lighter aircraft.  That's what has me boggled.

If's it's a control stick problem, it should effect all aircraft, no matter what the size.  Maybe the solution is to "calibrate" the joystick so the pitch is "nose down" instead of neutral?  But that would mess up the flying of light aircraft.

Boggle!

Boggle!  Boggle!  Boggle!!!

Could the trim setting in the CFG be off. I'm not sure if there is one or not, but that's the last thing I can think of.

There could be, I hadn't noticed, but it would be odd that all his heavies have a trim problem in their .cfg's.  How would that happen?
This is a weird, weird, weeeeird, problem.  

Strange, even.

[Abstraction]

Strange is definetely the word for it.
