December 25, 200817 yr Hi all,I am using a saitek proflight yoke and am now experiencing this on every aircraft, after take-off as soon as I leave go of the yoke the aircraft takes a nose dive. Has anyone else had this problem. I replaced the saitek throttle with the PFC module and having disconnected this the same thing happens.I am running FS9 on XP 64bit. thanks in advancekilgourj
December 25, 200817 yr Do you have other controls connected? I know when I first set up my Saitek throttles and rudder pedals, the X and Y axes where set for Ailerons and Elevator. So having the throttle pulled back would send the plane into a dive and a hard left turn. I'd check to make sure you don't have another controller like a throttle set to Elevator.

I shall check with saitek and flypfc forums for a solution. Thanks anyway for the reply and if I get the problem fixed I shall post it incase anyone is experiencing the same problem.

ORDid you do a pre-flight? look at the elevator in spot mode. Does it appear centered when you have the yoke centered?

On taking off flies as normal. Thanks
