June 2, 20251 yr Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone can throw me a rope here… I’m having major issues maintaining a steady pitch during climb and cruise. The plane keeps bouncing all over the place — climbing at 1500 ft/min, then dropping to 500 ft/min, and sometimes even going negative. I honestly can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve got real-world experience, over 1000 hours on VATSIM, and plenty of time in the Comanche, C172, default Learjet, and some airliners. I usually hand-fly pitch manually in the Comanche, C172, and Learjet without any issues, so I like to think I’ve got a decent handle on maintaining a constant climb. But with this one, it’s just super tricky. I’ll try to record a video when I can, but in the meantime, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I’d really appreciate it. I’m flying with the lowest turbulence setting available, and I’ve tested both real weather and no wind. Pitch control is through the trim wheel on my Logitech flight yoke system. I’m using the same profile across all the planes I mentioned, and weirdly, it’s only with this one that things get unstable. Thanks in advance!

Other FS2020 C414 users are not having the problem you are so my initial thought is something is wrong with your C414 setup. Some things you can try are: 1. Make sure you are using a standard Flysimware livery. An incompatible livery can cause lots of problems. 2. Under Assistance Options > Piloting, make sure Auto Trim is turned off. Sometimes the sim turns on Assistance Options automatically for some strange reason. 3. As an experiment to help track down the problem, disconnect the Logitech trim wheel and assign two keys or two buttons to Elevator Trim Up and Elevator Trim Down, and see if that makes any difference when flying. You could also disconnect the Logitech trim wheel and just try adjusting the C414 trim wheel directly with the mouse. 4. Another possibility is you have a conflict with some addon in your Community folder. A simple test for that is to rename your Community folder to back it up, then create a new Community folder and only paste the C414 folder into the new folder. Then start the sim, load the GNS530 version of the C414 and see how things work. 5. Last resort, try reinstalling the C414. If you decide to do that, first MANUALLY delete the C414 folder from the Community folder and then rerun the installer. MANUALLY deleting the C414 folder prevents a corrupt C414 file from impacting the new install. Edited June 3, 20251 yr by ark
June 3, 20251 yr Author Hey! Thanks for your reply! I'll definitely give those points a shot 1) I'm just doing the liveries that came with the airplane, I believe there should be around 30 default liveries or so 2) No autotrim is on, I even tried to enable that to see if it helps, but definitely it doesn't 3) This is a good one! I'll give this a shot 4/5) I'll try this as well! Thank you!
June 5, 20251 yr Author Hi Ark, I've recorded a video of this. I deleted all the content of the community folder and uninstall and install the plane and it keeps happening. I've also disconnected my logitech throttle and yoke and it just keeps happening. I tried with Turbulence real/low -- Weather real and non real and it just keeps happening. Here's the video I was talking about https://drive.google.com/file/d/12Wt1mdyEYyHNQmJPiGVg6Xn3duPNi-ys/view?usp=sharing Any input will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
