Expecting to Fly 147

Dear Randall, Wow you were spot on, tried this and what a difference, no drifting, no twitching just a big smile :smile: thank you and thank you to all who read my posting. Tally ho. Finally, how do a put a Answered and tick against this thread to alert others of closure and how the problem was fixed?

Hi Charliearon, Thanks for your swift response. I have norton anti virus and I am not aware of any open browser however I will disconnect to make sure that this is not an issue. With reference to Norton, would this as a problem not have become apparent immediately. Since my last post I am now not able to fly anything with any device as I have no left and right directional control.

Hi I am new to flight simming and to forums (hence I don't know what a tag is or why I might need it), I have to admit that I know very little about computers and certainly have yet to know where anything I download is (thank god for desktop icons) so what follows is going to be a real challenge but I am methodical and eager to learn.. The problem has been a developing one, I have had a cyclic made and was just starting to fly the EC135 (a friend who knows how to downloaded it) and everything (apart from the helo immediately shifting backwards and to the left) seemed to be working fine. Within about an hour I then started to see the onscreen image of the cyclic twitch and jump very quickly to the left intermittently and occassionally to the right without any input from me and the helicopter responded to what I was seeing the stick do. This suggested that something else was trying to take control. This got increasingly worse over a very short space of time and now (48 hours later) I have no left or right movement of the cyclic just occasional twitching and once off the ground the helicopter veers sharply over to the left (yawing I think it is called) all the time and crashing. During this 48 hour period I went into the control settings and recalibrated, this made no difference. I pulled all USB's out and replugged and still no difference. I put my other thrustmaster warthog stick in (I have two so that one is permanently fixed to the cyclic) and tried to flying other aircraft from different airports (both FSX and downloads of London City and Exeter - exactly the same problem. I have switched everything on and off over a 24 hour period - no difference and today I finally tried to fly just using the key board to rule out wiring, USB and hardware and still exactly the same problem. Since starting this topic email I have been down stairs plugged my saitek yoke in to see if this would be different. Whilst on the runway I noticed that the yoke start position on the screen was to the left (11 o'clock) it then started to twitch almost immediately and this got very quickly worse. Ho hum! I believe there is some sort of software conflict. This is I have FSX steam on my computer. I really hope someone has the patience to assist me and thank you in advance as I am expecting to fly this and other aircraft one day and learn all about navigation and aircraft handling and management.
