June 18, 200421 yr I have a weird problem that seems more than a passing glitch. When I start a new flight, I find that many (but not all) of my airplanes start with their ailerons frozen in an odd position (FWIW, usually the right aileron is up, and the left slightly down.) Moving the ailerons produces a very limited range of motion; and changing trim doesn't seem to help. If I try to take off, the plane quickly veers off the runway, and won't fly.I've found a workaround, but not a solution. Whenever this happens, if I load another aircraft (typically a non-stock plane: the Bellanca works the best), the new aircraft seems fine. Then when I reload the original aircraft, it too works just fine. This load/reload workaround doesn't work with all planes: some of them, both stock and otherwise, load up in the same frozen aileron position.It sounds to me like an airfile problem, since it doesn't happen for all aircraft. But honestly I have no idea what it is, or what to do about it. Anyone have any ideas?(On a possibly related issue, I notice that my planes have begun to start in external tracking view; how can I assure that they start with an in-cockpit view?)I'd really appreciate any guidance that anyone can give me.

June 18, 200421 yr It sounds to me like your saved startup flight has the autopilot turned on. Wich would cause the problem.
June 20, 200421 yr Thanks: that was exactly the solution. I didn't realize that the startup flight controlled how new flights start up as well; so now I'll be less ready to change that flight. Thanks again,Alex
