maverick1746 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 For the last 3 days i have been trying to find out why when i play fsx when i start to take off on the runway all the plane does is go in circles and i can not control it. At first i thought it might be the joy stick but that is working i just dont know what to do any more. any help would be great thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthportGuy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 So you start on the active runway and you never leave the ground but just run in circles? What aircraft? What joysticks do you have?

kohanjj Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 From the outside view, do all the controls look to be in their neutral position? If you are starting from a saved flight, I've had cases where the autopilot was (still) engaged with ailerons causing the turn. Engage/disengage the autopilot to allow controls to return to neutral state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptun Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Check your rudders, i had the same and did a new calibration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Go to options-settings controls. On the 'keyboard assignments tab' set a key for: "rudder trim - center" and one for "aileron trim - center". On the runway, make sure the autopilot is off, so there are no control inputs coming from that. Then press the two keys you selected, to center the rudder and ailerons. Press '5' on the numpad to centre the controlls. Push the throttle and it should drive in a straight line. ------------, if still wrong it may be the joystick. To test, simply disconnect the joystick. Start fsx. Start a situation on the runway. Center the trim. Center the controls by pressing '5' on the numpad. Add thrust by pressing the F2 key on the keyboard. It should drive in a straight line. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky160 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Just for grins, go outside aircraft and verify that control surfaces are leveled out or at least trimmed to zero degrees. Otherwise, joystick calibration might be overdue:) Ron RAM: Team T-Force 32GB CPU: RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 super C Drive: M.2 SSD 1.0tb CPU Air Cooler: DEEPCOOL GAMMAX GTE V2, PSU: Bronze 600W, Flight Stick: Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS, W10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 ok got the joy stick working now the only thing is the throttle stays at full before i take off or land humm Are you sure it's your throttle and not Auto Throttle engaged. Did you calibrate the throttle also? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvburden Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Are you flying a single engine or twin engine? If a twin engine, are both engine started and running at the same RPM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
