Hello all, i need your help. I own the saitek av8r and up untill now its done the job for me pretty well, but earlier on i was about to fly in fs2004 when it started to behave strange. Basically its become very over sensitive on the rudder(twist grip) and when the throttle is at idle, one slight movement and i mean slight, sends the plane into full throttle. I have a dual booted rig and on d i use windows 7 with fsx and all is fine there :( ive even compared the settings to vista where i have fs2004. I havent actually messed with any settings to warrent this problem so im in desperate need for all sugestions.Thanks for any help guys,Chris

Seems like a calibration problem. But could be getting dirty inside. Try un-installing it with any software that came with it, and then re-install.

Like most I guess one loads from free flight window and loads their flight Fly your aircraft and when finished close with crl+C, this makes a copy of your set up of your flight with all the buttons your using. It does not take much to corrupt the standard configuration file, could be aircraft one loaded, a device unplugged or what ever.If you load from free flight you may be loading a corrupt file. If you have exit and delete the standard file and use the back up you made of a good flight and all buttons working. Use a copy of your backup and rename it to standard. I guess the correct way to set up flight sim is to do all your settings, display, buttons etc from the window that loads first if you have not gone straight into a flight. Then go into a flight and see all is working fine and exit with ctrl+C. Then next time you can go into free flight and see if all is still working fine. Make a backup of your standard configuration and if things go wrong use this, or load from the saved file that you made at the start.Have a read of mine when you get it working make a back up of your configuration files. I hope they use the standard.cfg file like with FSX. It never takes much to corrupt the file. I usually do not use Ctrl+C to exit for this reason but shut it down with Ctrl+pause/break to exit immediately. I normal save the flight with : then exit with ctrl+pause/break. http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtop...1&hl=saitek
