November 2, 20205 yr Am currently experiencing a wall of frustration trying to complete my first flight in one of the GA planes, after the take-off run it is uncontrollable,,... before i go into a spiral down to a crash, i get a tantalizing view of the scenery i am being denied ... ???
November 2, 20205 yr First thing I would check is the elevation trim and flaps settings. Some planes have wrong default elevation trim settings at simulator startup. I have a Saitek FIP gauge which shows elevation trim on an indicator which has a mark for the proper takeoff position, thus I can see this. I had the very same experience as you until I detected this.

Complete some basic flying lessons, plenty of examples on youtube. Start with the C 152.
November 2, 20205 yr If the above don't work... also ensure the flight model in settings is set to modern.. there have been a few reports of it defaulting to legacy. Graham System specs...

November 2, 20205 yr Have a look at the sensitivity settings. The curve is very steep not far from centre in the new update. There's an option to flatten it there which might help. Mike Beckwith
November 2, 20205 yr Author At the risk of confirming Ricardo41's theory that i'm in need of some basic tuition, may i ask , having looked at how my controller(joystick) and the controls in the sim relate to each other, when i deflect my joystick in elevator and ailerons axes, and centre my stick, should the in game control surfaces centre too???? cos they ain't ....

There's an option to flatten it there which might help. The sensitivity curves are not easy to understand if you haven't seen their design before. Instead of one long diagonal line with the dead zone at the bottom, the dead zone is now in the middle and the lower diagonal is the controls left/down movement, while the upper diagonal is the right/up movement. The reason why some people are getting wierd behaviour is probably because they have not set the "neutral" value so the dead zone is exactly centre of the controller's central position, with equal amounts of dead zone either side. It's not obvious that this is the way it is done since the update. Robert Young - retired full time developer - see my Nexus Mod Page and my GitHub Mod page
November 2, 20205 yr I got my settings pretty well now, but in all honestly, such things have to be documented by Asobo!

November 2, 20205 yr Author Might as well fill this space I created with something, and its my decision to bid MSFS a not so fond farewell ..... there's a limit to the amount of frustration/stress I can carry, and that has been reached, so its back to the balmy pastures of P3D ...OK setting up all the various add-ons to make the sim user-friendly has to be some kind of tedium, but compared to bouncing one's head off a brick wall in what amounts to an expensive obstacle course, its a dawdle ..... many thanks to those who pitched in here with suggestions, and Robert, I made a small donation a couple of weeks ago, as a retrospective thank you for all the pleasure generated by Realair. Have the Turbo Duke and the Lancair awaiting me back at base in P3D ..... ...... Alan Edited November 2, 20205 yr by AKStirling enough's enough!
November 3, 20205 yr Author Last night i installed p3d and checked the physical joysticks relationship with the in-game controls, and lo and behold, when i centered the physical joystick the in-game controls did likewise .... so in MSFS,the in-game controls not centering must go a long way to explaining the crazy behaviour i'm getting .... any ideas for a fix????
November 3, 20205 yr Try re-calibrating the controls in the Win10 using joy.cpl and make sure there are no overlapping control / axis assignments in MSFS (it was the latter in my case that was causing issues...).

Are you really sure, that do you have set the flight model as "modern" and NOT as "legacy"???
