    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Boeing TCA Thrustmaster Yoke ? May be not !

Have an issue with the Yoke that's now 5 months old, during normal flight in clear conditions, ( Twin engine Islander @ 3,500 ft ) no wind dialed in to speak of, the airplane will bank abruptly to the left and its everything I have to get it back to level flight. This may happen several times in a row before things settle down. On occasion if I'm trimming for pitch the a/c will also flicker like it wants to lift a wing. I can fly for what seems like hours without an issue and then "bam" out of no where were fighting to keep the plane level in flight #$%&* Anybody ?

Are you on autopilot when this happens? I use both the Thrustmaster Warthog stick and throttles or the Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo combination. I have seen similar behavior. However, usually it is when the AP loses its marbles and tries to go off on its own.
 
I also have seen this behavior, and I have a TCA Airbus joystick :)
Can't remember if it was with autopilot on or off... maybe off... I thought it was turbulence...
 
There do seem to be random input failures with this sim.
My Thrustmaster T 16000M throttle yo-yo's on takeoff in some warbirds.
Fine once airborne.

May have solved the problem, went to the sensitivity panel and took out the dead zone value I had dialed in for the yoke and things appear to have settled down, value is back to zero.
 
Well done, now I (and others) have had the Wilga go crazy on landing - it veers off every which way, nothing you can do with any control including sea anchor, to make it go straight and stop.

Spoke too soon, the random wing tip flick continues to haunt the Flt Sim. Bumped into someone on Face Book complaining of the same issue. Playing with the sensitivity panel proved inconclusive, odd that this concern has appeared out of the blue ( oops ) after many months of trouble free flying.
