Problems with slew mode (aircraft rotates)

Featured Replies

Hi,As soon as I go into slew mode, my aircraft rotates uncontrollably along the vertical axis (yaw). What would I need to do to fix this problem? Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks.

Happens to me only if I use the "switch view" knob on my X52 controller on slew mode. If I use the "s" key to switch between the views it does not happen.Harry

If you have rudder pedals or even a rudder on the joystick it's likely to be an entry in the slew section of the controls setting.Each time I install fsx I have to uncheck the rotate function from the joystick and make sure it's set to the right axis in the pedals.

If you have a twist grip rudder on your joystick increase the deadzone of the rudder axis in the FSX settings, mine spins me around a bit if I dont

Suggestion:Assuming that you have a joystick, yoke, foot peddles or any combination of this hardware, assign a key to disable them before you go into the slew mode.For my system implementing the CH yoke and foot peddles and/or the MS FFB Joystick, I went into options>Settings>Controls>Buttons/Keys>. I selected C/H Control Manager Device 1. Then scrolled down to "Joystick (on/off" and assigned the "J" key.You will have to identify your hardware which will probably have different text and can assign whatever key you prefer.Everytime I go into slew mode, I first press "J" to disable my hardware and then "Y" to enable the slew mode. Coming out of slew mode, I do exactly the reverse, first pressing the "Y" key, then the "J" key.Hope this helps:RTH
