Thanks for your reply Mike
Yes, I remember FS2002 being much more better behaved too. I have both the Sidewinder 2 and the Saitek Cyborg Evo and have tried them both with their software, and just the "bare driver" in XP, but in FS2004 I have the same control issues but it seems less severe with the EVO. I've also noted, as I stated in some of my other notes, that "add in" aircraft, especially commerical ones like from Flight1, seem to fly much better. (I have amassed a fairly large collection now hehe). Anyway thanks again for your time I'll keep working with it Regards to all "mike" wrote in message om... I had similar over-sensitive rudder problem with FS2004 on the same machine that did not have the problem with FS2K. I use the MS Sidewinder joystick. When I tried changing the rudder sensitivity inside FS it barely made any difference to flight, although I noticed in slew mode, my ability to turn with rudder was very much affected by the setting change. On XP with Sidewinder it stores profiles per game so you can have adjustments to sensitivity and settings on a per-game basis (is that a Sidewinder thing, or is it part of XP's joystick calibartion tool?). One thing that helped, was playing with the joystick profile outside of FS. I seem to remember there was some way of picking a previously created profile for another game (?) when you select the profile you want to use with FS2004, and either making sure I used a separate one for FS2004 or the same one as FS2K which used to work fine (I cant remember which way round it was) made a difference. |

Thanks for you reply, Twilson.
AHA! :P So it's NOT just me! Have you, or anyone heard anything about a patch, maybe? Back in the day, MS used to read usenet; I don't know if they still do, but back then if enough people were stating they were having the same problem and/or complained consistently about it, you could get an answer or some feedback from them. One would think or hope that a patch would be about due by now...thanks for your time Regards to all "Twilson" wrote in message ... I Think the rudder thing is a bug. I have a Cougar HOTAS set up with elite pedals. Usually when I start a take off run the first time I get run away nose wheel steering and have to reset the flight and then all is well. I have no problem after this when taking off from Meigs or Phoenix Sky Harbor, however if I try to take off from the Flagstaff, AZ airport I am all over the place and can hardly keep it on the runway. This is not P factor as sometimes the plane yaws to the right and jet aircraft do it as well. I seriously think this is a bug that has not been addressed by MS. Too many people having this trouble. |

You're supposed to center the controls??? ~DOH!!!! :0)
