usb777 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Been setting up my control assignments and now out of the blue when I hit the Y button to go into slew mode the aircraft just starts moving right. I hit the 5 key to freeze it then everything is ok. I have deleted all of the slew assignments with my Saitek Joy Stick and the Pro Yoke the x,y,z axis so only the keyboard can be used any ideas on the cause? Mike G.

tiger1962 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'd suspect chatter on the joystick right aileron axis, failing that a re-install of the drivers and a re-calibration of the axes.

tiger1962 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 If your joystick is 'chattering' on one axis (and most do!) your PC will still detect it as movement regardless of any config assignments in Windows, Saitek or FS9.

usb777 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Maybe a calibration then would do it. It works so well at the moment in FSX I hate to try to many things as we all know Saitek controls are sensitive to say the least. Mike G.

johnhinson Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I think it is common to need to disable joysticks/yokes before switching to slew mode - I have been having to do this for years. Otherwise my loaded aircraft zooms off at warp speed. It is easily disabled/enabled in the menu system. John http://www.adventure-unlimited.org My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star!

tiger1962 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I've never had to disable my joystick before switching to slew mode. When your aircraft zooms off in slew mode it shows that the aircraft.cfg [contact_points] are not set up correctly. In slew mode the 'incorrect' static_cg_height raises the main gear just enough to make the sim 'think' you're airborne and activate the default cruise speed for that aircraft. It's one of the tests which FDE tweakers do to check that their [contact_points] are set up properly. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

usb777 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Now that is interesting. Maybe I should try with another aircraft. Mike G.

Others have experienced the same, too. No doubt it depends on the joystick/yo-ke concerned. I think the OP should consider that an option, if he has the problem with more than one aircraft. John PS - if what you say is right, why would disabling the yo-ke make any difference when pressing "Y" to go into slue mode? http://www.adventure-unlimited.org My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star!
