MSFS 2020 Elevator

Featured Replies

All of a sudden I can't take off. I have the honeycomb Yoke and Bravo Throttle Quad. I noticed that when I'm on the ground and test the control surfaces. When I pull back the elevator goes up and snaps right back to center. If I push in the elevator goes down and then snaps right back to center. checked the profile and everything seems to be ok. Any ideas why this is happening, Thanks Walt

Do you have any other hardware that might also be bound to the elevator?  Does it happen to all aircraft?

Take a look at your settings in MSFS and post what you have assigned to the elevator for the Alpha yoke.  Sometimes setting(s) for a device may seem intuitive but may not be the correct choice.  Also check your setting for autopilot functions on both devices.  It may be an autopilot function is active and overriding your attempts.

-This is driving me nuts. Elevator in the yoke is assigned to the elevator Axis, nothing else assigned to it. Auto pilot not on and it still does it. Pull up on the yoke, elevator goes up for about 2-3 seconds and drops back down to center. Push forward, elevator goes down for a few seconds and pops back up to center. Changed the yoke to the default selection and it still does it. The last thing I did before this started to happen was to adjust the rudder pedal sensitivity to less. But that should not have anything to do with the elevator, at least not from the rudder pedals. There has to be something right in front of my face and I'm just not seeing it. Tried different planes to see if it happens to them too and it does, same problem. One of my awesome follow pilots will pull through for me I hope. Anyways I wish all of you Happy flying, I'll be up soon I hope. And thanks, hope to hear of a solution soon. Walt

Did you ever resolve this issue? It’s been happening to me lately. Plane can be Cold and dark or powered up. Doesn’t matter. 

Try to reassign it. Delete elevator axis and assign again.

I had an issue with elevator trim wheel fighting me and returning to a position. Turns out the latest SU7 had enabled all the auto assists including auto trim

Well now the elevator is working but the ailerons are having the issue. They snap back instantly. Has to be a bug

Su7 put all assist to easy. Change it back to true to,life
