Robert1936 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 After some months of smooth running I now have the following problem with all aircraft: Take off, flight, navigation, landing etc all work well. On landing brakes seem a bit feeble and so reverse thrust needed (where available). So I can bring a plane to rest. But then to taxi: this is where the fun begins, _any_ application of thrust sends the plane shooting across the airfield and without the use of pause and reset it will pass through hangars, go through the boundary fence etc. Nothing will stop the a/c except (and not always) reverse thrust and parking brake. Just the tiniest application of the throttle needed to set all this off. But basically uncontrollable and my flightsim nearly unusable. Is this a known issue and is there a remedy? All suggestions most welcome. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Are you using a joystick controller or just the keyboard? Have you calibrated the joystick? Any null zones in the throttle axis? Are you using autothrottle? Turn it off before touchdown. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert1936 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Using Saitek yoke and throttles. All calibrated. Very careful to turn off auto-throttle as well as AP when landing. Maybe I should re-check calibration of throttles though (haven't done it recently). Many thanks Mr Zippy. I will report back. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Going through buildings sounds almost as if you accidentally engage slew mode. Check to what key you have that assigned. (y by default). You may have assigned it to / accidentally and may be engaging it when trying to retract spoiler or something. With slew engaged light pressure on controls creates a lot of movement.

Robert1936 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks for the help, all. Following Mr Zippy I ran through a complete calibration of the controls. I'm not sure what happened, or if I changed anything, but all works smoothly now. Landings end at the airport gate rather than the farm gate.
