Classic British Flight Sim

I have a problem with MSFS that has recently started with the prop control not staying where set for more than a few seconds. In this video example of the DC-3, on take off the levers fall back and the RPM drops after a few seconds making take off impossible.

I notice there is a friction control lever below the DC-3 quadrant but that doesn't help nor does the one on the Beaver...the levers on all planes move back uncommanded.

I only use the mouse to select the prop levers and there is no mapping to any joysticks so I am rather at a loss as to what it might be.

Quite bewildering as this only started today, this morning it was ok but it is now happening on the default Beaver too. I rebooted the sim and removed any recent additions from the community folder just in case but no joy...the problem remains...any ideas?

Another forum member advised me to look deeper on settings. Eventually I double checked my joystick (Saitek X52 Pro) and saw that (Propeller Axis) was set as (Joystick R axis X) something that has always been there apparently by Saitek's decision and I was unaware.

Clearly never a problem until today when my X52 Pro decided it didn't like it for some reason...never knew it had this assignment. So, removed it and Voila...problem sorted!

I can now fly the DC-3 again so fingers crossed all is back to normal.

Glad you're back to normal working again.

Thanks Adrian...a bit mystified as to why this manifested itself after all this time but once I dissociated the prop control from the joystick setting...the problem was resolved.

Daft thing is that I never associated it in the first place but my X52 Pro decided yesterday to throw a hissy fit so it was removed.
