[solved] After logging on can't control plane

Post by rick223 »

Get everything set on 2004, log on and call up, get clearance, then as soon as try to move just go in a circle to right. Get out,reset, get back on in the air , get flight following, try to land and can't get lower without excessive trim, then crash after on the ground.Suggestions?

Have you verified that the plane only behaves this way once connected to PE?

I did hear of one xplane pilot who had the ptt key also mapped to elevator trim.

Any chance you have something going on?

IIRC, in MSFS "0", "." and "enter" are rudder commands.

Rick, "moron" is a really strong word. Really, and I think I speak for everyone here, when I say that we think of you more as a buffoon.

;)

Glad you got it solved.

Or perhaps even a bassoon, since that's a woodwind and wind plays such an important role in flying.
