henry31 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hello All I want to get back in to PC flying and well, I have been out of it for quite a while. I have been flying MS flight sim since version 95 the latest I owned was MS flight sim X (which I can’t find since the move last month. I am looking to find out what I should do since I have been out of it for a few years now. With X I liked flying made up routes in Alaska using online ATC and using downloaded bush aircraft and light commercial aircraft. Should I keep looking for my missing flight sim x, or purchase a new copy or is there something better out there either from MS or another company? Thank you for the advice in advance and I look forward to hearing from you. Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If you still have an interest in FSX, then check out FSX-Steam Edition through Dovetail Games. That's assuming you can't find your original FSX discs. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry31 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ok so i got FSX deluxe loaded again. now time to update. I don't remember it being so uncontrollable on the ground or the stock 172 always wanting to drift left. is this fixed in the updates or is this something i have to adjust in my controller? i remember that if there was no considerable wind and you had the elevator trimmed up the plane would fly pretty straight and level. i have the p-factor and torque set to 0 so i don't believe it has anything to do with that. i have my rudder sensitivity set really low witch i don't like while flying but it is unruly on the ground. i've got a got a good setting for null for both rudder and aileron but it still wants to track left. any ideas on how to get better performance out of FSX?

jandjfrench Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hi, I don't know what the problem is but there is one. It's normal for the 172 to veer slightly left as power is applied but this should be easily overcome with a slight application of rudder. I recommend returning the settings to what they were originally, making sure your controller is working properly before starting FSX, choosing a no wind theme and trying again. If autopilot was on this could cause a control problem but seems unlikely unless it was set inadvertently at some point. Jim F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
