It's possible you have the elevator trim assigned to more than one device. This will give this effect.

Thanks very much.

Which aircraft is this?

I had this problem some time ago, solved it by changing the wireless router! Whether there was a tick box not set correctly, I don't know, but this did solve the problem after a lot of frustration.

Good, keep me posted.

Hi, the point I was trying to make is to start Prepar3d without any Saitek devices, only plugging them in once the simulator is running. It may be a general Saitek issue rather than just the Saitek trim wheel.

Just had a quick circuit round Sherburn, flies very nicely. If you haven't already, it will be worth getting a good set, I use CH, of rudder pedals as this will make life easier as most accurate aircraft demand correct use of the rudder. It has been said that in a jet, the pedals are somewhere to rest your feet but with a prop on the front that is not the case!

I had a similar problem with Prepar3d in Windows 10 which eventually turned out to be the Saitek elevator trim wheel that appeared to be causing the problem. The solution is to load Prepar3d with the trim wheel unplugged, only plugging it in once the simulator is running after which everything seems to work fine. I am not using any drivers other than those in Windows 10 itself. I have heard there are new drivers now from Saitek but I have not tried them so far. My other devices are CH Eclipse yoke, a super piece of kit, CH rudder pedals, Saitek TPM unit, again highly recommended, CH 6 lever throttles, M-panel and VR radio stack. Might be worth trying this approach and see if it makes any difference.

A similar problem occurred with Prepar3d v3 in Windows 10 with the Saitek elevator trim. A solution is to leave the device unplugged while starting the simulator only plugging it in once the simulator is running. This seems to work with the trim wheel so may work with other devices.

I've been using M Panel for several years and is a brilliant piece of kit when it works! Can be tempermental, sometimes reinstalling FSUIPC - paid version - can help, but since I've gone to Prepar3d v3.1 it does not appear to be recognised. The vr radio stack works fine. Sounds like updated drivers are required.

Just installed this. Real Air have raised the bar again. Easily the best GA aircraft out there - in my humble opinion! Well worth the cost.

Just loaded GTN 750 in the A2A Cessna 182, after re-loading the Garmin Lite trainer. Working fine. Now the migration tool is upgraded to v.3 I have got my favourite aircraft installed as well and working better than ever. Really happy.

The endurance of the early Spitfire was less than 2 hours!

I have had the Saitek Trim Wheel for some time now and find it excellent especially for GA aircraft. I also had the problems mentioned, especially getting the unit to be recognised, but found the solution is to remove all usb control devices, then plug the trim wheel in first followed by the rest of the controls. Everything should work ok now.

Absolutely, totally hooked on 4K monitors, Samsung 28" in my case. My main sim is Prepar3d v2.5 using a smaller monitor as a GPS screen with the excellent Flight1 GN 750
