Jody Turner 1018734 Posted December 10, 2007 at 04:02 AM Posted December 10, 2007 at 04:02 AM Well, you're probably thinking, nose gear? What can go wrong? Well, apparently you've never controlled or taxied past me while I'm on the ground, and seen my nose gear is turned about 70 degress to the left, and even if I try to use thrust to regulate it, it just turns that way. This is really a problem, and happens with all aircraft, turbo-prop, twin-engine, jet, etc.. Then there's the rudder problem. When descending suddenly my rudder yanks to the right (I don't have rudder pedals or rudder control from joystick), and my autopilot has actually flipped the aircraft over trying to turn, that happens while descending and I have no idea what causes it. It's crashed me twice in one day. It makes me slow down, and then once at such a slow speed, FS9 doesn't stall me, it spins me recklessly while I descend or climb at an outrageous rate (another sort of problem that actually made me go to 80,000 ft. in a helicopter). And makes me unable to maintain altitude, so I slowly descend and lose speed, keeps on going, and if I'm away from the computer, I'll crash by the time I'm back because the autopilot tries to trim it up, which makes it lose even more speed, and crashes it. These both are flight simulator problems, and come on, if I can't fix these, I won't be able to enjoy flight simming like the tens of thousands of you do every day. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Jody Turner - I1 Toronto FIR - Facility Engineer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry James 901346 Posted December 10, 2007 at 04:34 AM Posted December 10, 2007 at 04:34 AM It appears that you need to calibrate your Joy Stick. -- L. James -- L. D.

Shawn Goldsworthy 925085 Posted December 10, 2007 at 04:59 AM Posted December 10, 2007 at 04:59 AM Do you have auto coordination on? AKA Auto rudder. If you do it will cause your nose wheel to turn as well as your rudder with roll inputs on the ground. Turn your null zone up a bit to ensure there aren't constant control inputs being sent from the joystick. That might help.

Joshua Black Posted December 12, 2007 at 01:04 AM Posted December 12, 2007 at 01:04 AM Yes, usually when this type of thing happens, as Larry said, re-calibrate your joystick. Joshua Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Gaber 1024819 Posted January 19, 2008 at 12:42 AM Posted January 19, 2008 at 12:42 AM DO you have a Saitek X52 joystick? Or a joystick with a seperate throttle and joystick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Joensen 1001907 Posted February 2, 2008 at 03:33 PM Posted February 2, 2008 at 03:33 PM I have the same problem, my plane is acting strange (only on ground and arr. and dep.) when many pilots are online PLZ. tell me why?

Lennart Vedin Posted February 5, 2008 at 09:47 AM Posted February 5, 2008 at 09:47 AM Someones did have this proplem and eventually realized the PTT (PushToTalk) button for VATSIM was same as a rudder-button. / Lennart Vedin / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
