Featured Replies

I have been having a problem with the stabilizer running away on the ground,when i start fs-9 the virtical stabilizer goes to the full nose up position,if you set the trim back to normal it will keep going to the nose up position, and sometimes the spoilers on the right wing are in the up position and wont go down,also somtimes the rudder is twiching back and forth ,can someone help me with this problem its driving me nuts thanks.

If the autopilot is on no matter which aircraft you select that should only happen if you have changed the default flight (the one which is presented to you when you first start up FS2004).My guess is that you saved a different flight (probably a different aircraft and location etc.) and the autopilot switch was on. If you also checked the "make this the default flight" box on the save screen, a great many options (state of engines, view and so on) are saved also.These various settings (and many more) are then passed on to whatever aircraft you decide to actually fly.You can use Notepad to check the default flight (FLT) file you are using - or just reset your default flight being sure the AP switch is off.If checking the FLT file, look for the following section:[AutoPilot.0]MasterSwitch=FalseWingLeveler=TrueNav1Lock=FalseHeadingLock=FalseHeadingValue=340AltitudeLock=FalseAltitudeValue=0AttitudeHold=FalseAirspeedHold=FalseAirspeedValue=0MachHold=FalseThe MasterSwitch= should read False - if it reads True, then it means it is set on.Hope that helps.
