The original FSX was not a download. It was on disks. I have two copies. I just installed it on a new Windows 11 box. No problems whatsoever.

OK, now is the time to make myself look stupid, but since the two of you were nice enough to try to help I will share with you what the problem turned out to be. I had mapped the ailerons to the X Axis on the throttle quadrant so that whenever I reduced power it applied full left or right aileron, making quite a rodeo on the way to ground. I cleared that and the problem went away.

 

Thanks again.

Thanks for your response. I'm looking more and more at the controls. I'm using the Thrustmaster TCA Captain's Pack Airbus controls: joystick, throttle and pedals. The set is brand new and has the latest drivers installed.

Thanks for your response. I have been flying FSX for a long time and if it was my response to the ground I think it would have emerged by now. I'm looking more and more at the controls.

Friends,

 

I have a problem that I need help with. I installed FSX on a fast new computer running Windows 11. It runs like a dream with one exception. When I'm on approach to a runway, even when I keep my speed up, there comes a point where the plane begins to bank to one side or the other and the plane becomes uncontrollable. It doesn't matter which plane I use. I have tried both easy and hard realism settings and that has no effect. I have run FSX on other computers since it came out and I have never experienced this behavior before. I would deeply appreciate any help or insights you might have on this. I'm out of ideas.

 

Thanks
