Control surface issue in FS9

Post by paul26may »

Not sure what's going on but for the last few weeks every aircraft I load up has the starboard aileron activated and the rudder and nose wheel turning to starboard. Can't see what I may have done to cause this and any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Two possibilities come to mind.

Either your saved fight has the autopilot set on, or more likely you have a joystick/controller that has drifted out of alignment.

The latter can be fixed by doing a calibration of the controller. Mine drifts out every couple of flights.

It could also be that your default flight accidentally has those circumstances saved.

Try creating a new default flight after re-setting those issues to the correct position.

I’ve occasionally had this and re-calibration of controls fixed it. If you have FSUIPC check your control settings in there.
Also on some add on aircraft which have multiple fuel tanks, check that have balanced the contents when reducing them. You may have to scroll down to see all the tanks otherwise the extreme starboard tank will remain at the default of 100%. :) EricT

Thanks for all the advice chaps. I somehow think it may be the saved default flight. Will check later and report back. :Dance:
