Whenever I apply throttle and release brakes my plane goes in circles, no matter which way I move the controls. I have deleted all flight assignments and reconfigured a dozen times, I have recalibrated a million times, making sure the little dial wheel on the controller is centered, I have tried it with the ch software and without it. I am at my wits end, please can someone help me out?? Mad

by the way this controller is brand new. its a flight sim yoke usb

For starters, please name your topic with a meaningful title.......and my suggestion is that you dont treat the takeoff process like a carrier catapult launch, release the brakes and bring up the throttles gently, all that torque is most likely what is throwing you to the curve. As in a car, if you just jam the throttle down, you will likely spin out.......please reference the basic laws of nature (physics) as that is what is being modeled in Flight Simulator.

sorry for the title miscue. Smile

I do apply gentle throttle up, but it does not matter how slow or how fast I apply throttle up, the plane begins an immediate bank right into a circle, and not amount of turning the controls will keep it straight.

Try turning down the SENSITIVITY settings on your RUDDERS. Move the slider all way to the Left. Cool

What plane is it?

I had the same problem....in my case , I found out that only one engine was started, hence..I went round in circles. Are all engines on when you start to roll?

On the off chance that you saved a default flight with the controls set wrong, go to your Fs9.cfg, rename it to Fs9.cfg.old and then (being certain that your controller is centered) restart FS to create a new default cfg file with all the settings restored to default startup positions and see if the problem still exists. The Fs9.cfg is located in C:/documents and settings/(your name)/application data/microsoft/FS9........

note: you must have "show hidden folders and files" on to see the application data folder.

I also have the same problems, i did everything possible, i have a very good computer and a new joystick and it still keeps happening, please help me!!

Posted: Sat Oct 29, 2005 7:02 pm Post subject: yup

yup, sometimes its one engine's started, or that you selected one of the engines and lets say before you select it, the throttle was at 0%, then after you select it and put up the throttle on your joystick, only the engine selected will go up to 100% throttle. that makes the plane spin, but in cobbbbbs place, it's deffientely not that because its a cessna with 1 engine......weird Confused

Get FSUIPC freeware version and select 'fix control acceleration'. Pete Dowson utilities if you Google it.
