Hi,Me again still struggling to fly single engine!!The flight tuning section is in the .cfg file as below?I have reinstalled and calibrated the Sidewinder precision 2 joystick? The realism settings are on max. I still cannot control the aircraft on one engine???It must be something very simple I am doing wrong?? Has anyone any more ideas?? Thanks for everone's help to date and merry chrismas and a happy new year.[flaps.1]// This is necessary to make POSKY's leading edge slats work.

Okay step by step engine out tutorial.1. Identify dead engine.2. Apply rudder to the side of the good engine. If left engine out apply right rudder otherwise aircraft will spin out of control.3. Establish aircraft in level flight or climb if on departure.4. Apply rudder trim - you should be able to trim out the rudder pedal.Try this.More indepth tutorial to follow.

Hi'Thats how I am flying it+ full power on live engine??I can only think there is something wrong in the set up somwhere. Maybe its the joystick perhaps I need to a better flight control system??ystem!!RegardsSimmslot
