CWS P engaged + hardover

Featured Replies

I was on final for 10R at KPDX, everything seemed normal, and all of a sudden, I got a CWS P annunciator. This was odd, as I had been flying manually. I thought the airplane did a hardover and put me in the water on short final. After that flight, I've found that my joystick's axes have been reversed.On the problem flight, I think I tried to change some sensitivities with the rudder, but I didn't monkey with the assignments. I might've done something when I tried to update some AFCADs.I'm now also getting the FS2004 "Fuel is critically low" message. Seems like something has been corrupted or PEBKAC.Suggestions?

I would go back and set all FS setting back to default. Then go into the load manager and set aircraft configuration back to default. If that doesn't work, uninstall the NG, use the PMDG removal tool, then reinstall.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.

Well, I reset FS2004, but I didn't reinstall PMDG. (Thought I'd go simple first) For some reason - most of my commands are reversed on the joystick - flaps up vs flaps down, axes, everything that is reversible. And there are "hidden commands." If I reset the brake pedals for brakes (rather than the ailerons they defaulted to) they still act as ailerons, even though the assignment calls them toe brakes. I found that I actually have to go in and delete the joystick assignment and then reassign. Odd.Add to top it all off, the approaches still don't line up with the runways - which is what I was trying to fix in the first place. GRRRRR.

Regarding the changing and deleting the commands, yes you have to go into the joystick axis assignments. That's how FS9 has always worked.Concerning the approaches, see below:http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=278706
