Not a hardware issue, per se.

Elevator axis on my honeycomb alpha works intermittently. It's strange and frustrating as it was working a day or so ago just fine. In other simulators, it works just fine.

When I push/pull the elevator axis in the sim settings doesn't move. Instead, it shows up as a button being pushed.

How to explain? When you set a setting (like a button) in the sim, and then push the button in the settings, the button (Joystick Button 5 for example) will highlight in a white color when select it on or off. Make sense?

Well, its doing that when I am using the yoke. Aileron or elevator.

Yes, I have reset my binds and started completely over and it still does this.

Strange. They worked but then when I turn on the engine, the elevator stops working. Rudder still works.

But only after the engine is running the elevator stops.

Happens with default 172, JF Arrow, Kodiak, and defaut 152 and jplogistics 152 as well.

A mod can delete this as I've figured out the problem.

That I am eating my own words with mod conflicts.

I put in a mod for a plane and it actually changed/caused issues with several other planes.

Removing the mod put everything back where it was. I just didn't think that something like that could change other planes.

Can't you say what mod was that? That's the important bit of information missing that can help others.

I keep a flight log in Excel. Have done so for years.  It is actually an Excel workbook.  Multiple sheets in one file.  In addition to logging flights and flight time on the primary tab, I also have a separate tab where I log changes I make to the sim or sim environment. I track any and all changes to my MSFS settings. General settings, Controls settings, and so on.  Also track live addons updates.  Navigraph, REX, TDS, etc.

If I make any direct changes to an aircraft I log those. Those are few and far between these days. But with prolific use of Addons Linker, and a minimalist approach to what I load there for a flight, I do not log when I acquire an aircraft mod that is itself another addon. As a separate addon I recognize already whether I have it loaded or not loaded through the linker.  So nothing to log,  If I start having an issue I simply examine what I have loaded for this flight versus what I had loaded for the previous.

Simple management is bliss.

This is true. You had an issue in a different thread. Were those CTD's resolved? Good idea for the excel sheet.

Mine was this: I have downloaded a mod for the Just Flight Arrow series and it looks like it changed most of my single engine and single turbo prop engines.

I restarted, reinstalled, restarted etc and the issue persisted. I reverted back to the original cfg's and all was well. I then reinstalled then restarted and this issue persisted.I stopped using the mod and now it works without it.

Sorry for the late replies on this. I was away for a bit.

 

Edit: Nope. Something was corrupted. Now my JF Arrows have no elevator at all AFTER the engines start. Before, the elevator works just fine.

Found the issue:

FSRealistic, which opens automatically when the sim starts, was the overall culprite. Prop wash function did not allow elevator control when the engines were on the Arrows.
