i read thru this topic from 2018. thread is archived or i would ask this in that thread instead of starting a new one. 

 

Issue: as soon as mains come off the ground the plane rolls right with no input from me.

Solutions i have tried: i recalibrated my stick. reassigned the axis in fsuipc. even put a null zone. i can not think of anything else i can do. even thought it happens with single engine and twin engines i still double checked to make sure the throttles are providing equal thrust.

Equipment. Full virpil hotas - WarBRD-D Base w/Constellation ALPHA Prime grip. 

I am using FS9 (2004) and using fsuipc 3. i am really only having 1 issue but being as it is the roll it is a pretty big issue. I never had this issues with my logitech x52. only started when i upgraded to the virpil controls hotas and now i am having an issue.

thanks in advance to anyone with tips and suggestions on how to fix this issue.

 

i know someone will ask: i still use fs9 because i have invested so much time and money (when i was younger i was not as wise with my money as i am now). i like the way i can use ai traffic mover and ade to program ai traffic and redesign airports and most importantly i have a new computer and i can run FS9 at ultra max settings with no frame rate loss even in busy airspace. a friend of mine has a much more powerful rig than i do and i have tried msfs 2020 and 24 on his machine and he has to cut things way back to gett he same FPS i do at max settings. so i am saving my money and sticking with fs9.

Title spelling corrected.

I will try to help.

Only in Windows now.

1) Under Devices and Printers, where you have your controllers. After correct calibration, ensure that the + sign is centered.

2) Move each controller slowly to its full extent and verify that the + sign moves continuously and correctly to each extremity and back to the center position.

3) You want the device to return to the center consistently without spikes. Slight deviations from the center indicate worn parts or incorrect pot centering. Spikes often occur if the unit is worn out.

4) Check that all the buttons light up correctly without any interference.

 

In FS9 or other simulators, verify that there is no interference (key bindings) from other peripherals, such as mice, keyboards, or any other devices that may be plugged in and affect the yoke, rudder, and throttles.

 

When assigning axes with FSUIPC, verify that each one exhibits smooth movement.

Please restart the simulation to ensure it's correct.

 

If you still have issues after following this, remove your rudder pedals and yoke and try without them.

 

Come back after these steps.

There's a free utility on the LeoBodnar.com website called DIView that allows you to see the raw inputs coming into the PC from each axis on your joystick devices.  I'd start by checking inputs for centering and smoothness there, because if you have a noisy or wandering transducer in a joystick, there's very little FSUIPC or other similar utilities can do for you.

As mentioned above, having multiple hardware axes assigned to a flight sim axis is bad JuJu, and it's quite common to find that a "phantom" axis on a different controller has been inadvertently (or automatically) assigned where it shouldn't be and is interfering with the intended controller.  You have to go through every HID device listed in the sim's Controls menu and check that only those hardware axes you intend are assigned.  If you have something like an XBox game controller connected, that's a fairly common cause of these phantom inputs.

 

Great advise LRBS and Mr Bob.

That will be my homework the next few days between work and studying. i will let you know how things work out.

even though i am 51 i passed my ffa physical and start flight school in july.
