Control surfaces issue

Featured Replies

Greetings all,

 

I seem to be having an issue with the pitch control on FSX. I dont have any yokes or throttles, just use the keyboard for now. The num2 and num8 keys dont do anything. This affects the default planes (eg: King Air), and also my PMDG MD11 add-on. What's weird is that the other keys (num6/8 for ailerons, num 1/7 for stab, and num 3/9 for throttle) all seem to work fine. Also, the 2/8 pitch control keys work ok with the PMDG 737NGX. Any ideas what is going on?

 

Many thanks,

Ron Priever

Mystery solved. Somehow the FSX keyboard sensitivity slider (on the "settings-control" page) how moved to 0 for pitch control. I reset all of the sliders to 100, and now everything seems to be working properly. Not sure why the 737NGX wasnt affected, but we'll leave that one for another date.
