Some General Questions & a Question regarding the Tutorial

Hi AndreaI do not use FSFORCE. But I think that the driver of my Saitek Evo Force should allow me to set back the Force Effects and thus I will try to reduce them first to 50% or so, see what it does. It's anyway to strong now - when I roll on the runway to lift off, the first 100-200 meters the stick vibrates quite strongly and this makes in return my screen wobbling around so I and my passengers all go nuts & bananas CheersMichel Bühler

:) I think you will solve the AP breakage with the reduced force. Then we must see why you get an out of trim condition...

Hello All - Hi Andrea & Rick (?)It was a Controller - Issue!!! I had to reduce the FF-Ration from 100% to 30% and everything works fine NOW! I don't loose the AP - I do not go out of trim - everything is just working well.Thanks to everybody for your valuable contribution!!CheersMichel Bühler

Michel,I just noticed something in that last PDF you posted - you're limited to 230 knots because your flaps are still out, I can see it on the indicator. You're still at Flaps 1 - VNAV limits the airplane to 230 knots to avoid damaging the flaps. You want to do three presses of the incremental flaps up button/key after takeoff - do two clicks at acceleration height (gets you to flaps 1) and then another click as you're passing the "1" on the speed tape (this fully retracts them).

Ops, I missed the pdf file... :)Happy to see you solved!

Ryan :-)It was you who confirmed me regarding the controller! Thanks again!! (Sorry, I mentioned "Rick" LOL)Regarding Flaps 1 - yes, you're right. But this was just an error of me during this specific test - it actually was the controller FF-settings only!Thanks again RyanMichel Bühler
