Thanks for the update Nils.

As of the beta version prior to this new one, all of my aircraft were 'slewing' (moving around!) on the apron, even with no engines or power on!   not sure what was causing this but it was bad enough to keep me away from XP11 for the last 2 weeks.     I wonder if anyone else was seeing such issues and whether any potential problem has been fixed?

JYW..sorry to hear about your problem but VERY happy to hear I was not the only one. Have the same problem after the .8 update. I will looking for answer and will report back. All the planes start with power on and as you say, "slewing" everywhere. Very disappointing.  

Personally, I have never had the "slewing" problem.  Don't know what to tell you but maybe deleting your "Preferences" folder might help.  Remember to save the files within it that refer to joystick settings (about three of them, I think) or you will have to reset all your device settings.  

Good luck with your problem.

Are you using a vanilla copy of XP? If not, Install a second copy, then add your addons one at a time.

Thanks, but I just updated to Beta 8 and the problem is completely resolved!  :)   Very happy!

I have problems in some clickable areas in MD-80 and 747 (I can not open FMC window) also AP after reaching desired altitude has large up and down oscillation.
In 737 it seems to work fine.

I am also not able to open the FMC window or enter any information into the FMC after the update.  Does anyone know of a work around to this problem?
