January 14, 201313 yr Hello all. I'm wondering if I may be the only person experiencing this. I can be in any phase of flight when, out of nowhere, while in VC view, my camera pans up and starts spinning 360 degrees...multiple times. While I'm airborne, once I stop the spinning from happening, I get the camera pointing out the front of the aircraft, my a/p is disengaged and I'm in a steep dive, usually causing me to crash due to airframe stress. If I'm on the ground taxiing it usually doesn't do anything but cause a major annoyance. I've had this happen during final approach, takeoff, cruise, basically whenever. I'm trying to nail down what I'm doing before it happens and there's no constant. I have noticed, however, that to stop the spinning I have to hit the POV switch on the joystick and it stops. I can then return the view to normal. If I try moving the view holding spacebar and using the mouse, I get no response and the camera goes back into it's spin. So I know that's a lot of info in there but I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've lost many flight hours because I've crashed in the last 45min of my flight because of this problem. If you need anymore info, please don't hesitate to ask. P.S. I'm using the Logitech Freedom 2.4 wireless joystick for controls.

January 14, 201313 yr Maybe try recalibrating your joystick, or if you have spare wired joystick, try that to eliminate any problem with your wireless stick. Darren Mead
January 14, 201313 yr Sure sounds like a bad hat button on the joystick. One other possibility is a conflict with controls auto-assigned by FSX to an attached game controller.
