Major problem with FSX

Postby Ironhat2 » Mon Dec 08, 2008 9:32 pm

I have FSX Gold and Saitek Evo Flight stick.
Every thing has been going just fine until a few minutes ago. I startd up the game and was going to fly the Lear45. I did a visual and test of the control surfaces and all were ok except the alerions were in a full right roll position. I tested the left/right roll with the stick and there was no response.

I then went to controls and did a stick check and every thing was normal. I tried 2 different aircraft and the same thing happened. I then shut down the game. Unplugged the stick, started up again but there was no change. I then shut down again, unpluged the stick, started up again and with the default mouse/kb tried another flight, same thing. For some reason the game is setting the alerions on all the planes in a full right roll.

This has never happened before, any idea whats going on and how to correct it ?

You probably had the auto-pilot on when you saved your last flight... and it's still on .. trying to turn to the heading setting.






Turn it off.. (that's part of any pre-flight checklist)

Stick was calibrated correctly.

You are right i just tried again before coming back on here with several ac i had flown that had ap, they were all on. Lesson learned.
Then i hoped into the Piper Cub, no ap in that one lol, controls were fine.
Thanks for the help, sorry about the newbie error.
