Problem with 172 Panel after New graphics card install.
Thanks for the Reply. I seemed to have stumbled across my own problem. I figured since installing the new card I would run my FSXcfg through Bojote's tweaking and tuning tool again and it shed some light on the situation. At the bottom was the line telling me to adjust my AA settings for my GTX285. Followed by another line telling me to adjust my AA settings for my GTX560. So both cards and their settings were being listed in my FSXcfg and I figured that could be where the conflict is. I wasn't sure exactly what I needed to remove from the CFG regarding the GTX285 and my old CFG had just the GTX285 info so I went ahead and did a complete reinstall. Problem fixed. The radio's are working fine and everything seems back to normal.

Also forgot to mention I did do an uinstall and reinstall of the plane.

Problem with 172 Panel after New graphics card install.
So here is one I can't figure out and I'd love some suggestions. I installed a new GTX560 on my machine and since then I can not work my radio's. The numbers won't light up when the avionics are switched on. This is only in the 3D cockpit. When I switch over to the 2D panel the numbers light up fine and I can adjust the radio. Also the key in the ignition does not roatate while in 3D. I can hover my mouse over the key and scoll the wheel and the prop will spin but the key never moves. Everything works, just not visually. Now the light switches move when clicked and the carb heat pops in and out, its just the radio's and ignition thats not working. I am also getting the same results from the 152 as well. Now when I load up defult FSX planes everything works fine. So its just affecting the Carenado planes. I was using the current 280.26 driver and even tried out the beta 285.38 driver. The only other thing I can think to add in is that I am using the nvidia inspector. Jeremiah Windows 7 x64Core i7 960EVGA GTX560 285.38 driverMSI Pro-E motherboardCorsair Dominator DDR3 6 gig Ram

More propeller torque than I know what to do with!
That is a great idea and I can't believe I didn't think to check that. I did go a head and load up a flight in the default Cessna using a 100% fuel in both tanks and with a pilot and passenger both at 170 pounds. The problem still persist. Let me clarify on the extreme yaw and slow roll. During take off shortly after I leave the ground and am maintaining proper climb out speed I have an extreme turn to the left. I can use a lot of aileron to hold the plane level but If I don't apply a ton of rudder the plane will actually rotate around about 30-40 degree's to the left.Where I am also having a problem is trying to maintain straight and level flight. The plane makes a really slow roll to the left and will just fly its self in circles. Now its hard to tell in a virtual plane but it feels like this turing and slow roll is coming from the rudder and not so much a roll because of aileron. Also the fact that once I turn on auto rudder the plane will fly straight and level. I to fly with CH pedals and have had this problem in the past. What makes me believe its not the pedals is that I still have the same problems when using just a keyboard to fly and also the problem only seems to exist with single engine prop planes.I really appreciate everybody's reply's.

More propeller torque than I know what to do with!
So i've got a real head scratcher here and I'm not sure what to do. So I'm looking to you good people of the AVSIM forum. About two weeks ago I fired up FSX, made a few good flights, and then left for a 10 day vacation. I came back, fired up FSX, and have a new problem out of the blue. Its what I'm calling extreme propeller torque. Now I know that its typical of a single engine propeller driven plane to experience some P-factor on take off and climb out and that some rudder will be needed to keep the airplane tracking straight. What I am experiencing now is the need to apply a lot more rudder during take off and climb out to counter extreme yaw to the left. Also once I have reached cruising altitude I can not get the plane to achieve straight and level flight. Instead I have a slow but constant roll to the left. If I try to trim it out then I end up with a roll to the right.So now let me walk you though the steps I have taken so far. Note that all this testing was done with weather turned off. I also calibrated my controls regularly.1. I usually fly with a Carenado Cherokee 180. So I switched to the default FSX Cessna 172. Still had the same slow roll to the left.2. I thought maybe it was my yoke or rudder peddles. So I did a flight using a Saitek joystick. Still had the same slow roll to the left 3. Made flight using keyboard with the same results.4. It was at this time I felt like it was extreme propeller torque so I plugged back in my yoke and peddles and made flights using both a light jet and a twin beech baron. Planes flew with minimal rudder input on take off and maintained straight and level flight.5. Made flight with default Cessna 172 using with the auto rudder feature checked. Plane flew straight and level. Once auto rudder is turned off plane has slow roll to the left.6. My copy of windows 7 arrived so I decided to wipe the slate clean and do a fresh install of FSX with my new copy of windows 7. Still have extreme yaw on take off and slow roll to the left at cruising altitude.So unless I am flying a twin or a jet. I have extreme yaw on take off and can not obtain straight and level flight. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
