Ive had a ch flight sim yoke le for a many years now and I ahve never had a problem. But as I was flying today the elevators would not respond, out of the blue. I did not touch any settings in. All of the sliders and checkboxes are as they should be and as they were before the incident. The only thing I was doing differently was I was slewing the aircraft and during slew the elevators stopped responding. I tried "calibrate joystick" and the aileron controls work fine but there is no response for when I pull back on the yoke. Any ideas?

. . . sounds like the centre wire to the elevator pot is "disconnected". . . meaning it could be a solder joint gone dry, the wire is physically broken at the pot, the wire is broken at the cct board. Get your screwdriver out! :-)Regards,

>Get your screwdriver out!I tried that on my CH Rudder pedals and could not put it back together again! :-lol I had to buy a new one!Beware of opening spring loaded gadgets! :)

Before you try anything else.....If it's the USB model try unplugingand repluging it. If you're running XP, Windows should give you a "FoundNew Hardware" chime and balloon. Then see if it's back. I've had trouble with this in the past and doing what I described, ordoing a "Hot" reboot of the computer would fix it.

Just tried opening it up and apparently its not possible without breaking the thing. Also I though it was kinda strange that when I sake it things make noise inside. So I pried it open just a bit and shook the thing and waddaya know, a nut and bolt comes out.... Should I just get a new one?

hahahahah!:-):-):-):-):-)Sorry, Mike! If you take a razor saw you can likely cut it open along the glue joints. Then fix what's wrong and put it back together using crazy glue. Good luck!

Too late now, I went and got a new one but thanks for the help. ;)
