Elevator Issue

[megs8888 20]

Hi when i move my joystick forward it moves it in the opposite direction in the sim? I do use fsuipc and made sure rev box wasnt ticked which it isnt. Tried recalibrating no joy either any help would be appreciated.

Is this behavior present on other aircraft or is this issue on the ground or in the air?

 

This really can make a difference because Q400 has small control surfaces on its elevators which moves the opposite way to ease the force needed to move the elevators. It's possible that on the ground you see these surfaces, not the actual elevators.

  Hi Wayne, do you mean that the yoke in the vc moves in the opposite direction? Are you using the 125hz setup for your joystick?

Hi Craig

What is this 125Hz set up for the joystick you are referring to? Is it within FSUIPC?

[Jazzfan 57]

  It is a custom controller setup that links directly to direct x, that has been offered by majestic for the Pro version of the Q400. FSUIPC is not required. Details can be found in the Docs supplied with the Q400 Pro.

 ps, @ megs8888, try ticking the reverse box in fsuipc.

Have you calibrated the controls within the Majestic control panel? The Majestic reads control values directly from FSX, unless you're using the 125 Hz option in Pro edition, then it's read directly from DirectX iirc.
