    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.

Thrustmaster Warthog control problems, suddenly

I sat down to do a quick flight in the newly released Gas Stearman, and immediately started having problems on takeoff. As soon as the wheels left the runway, the aircraft banks left, hard. I can get the aircraft to right itself some, but it never settles out; always wants to bank left.

So then I tried several other aircraft. Exact same problem.

I checked my controller settings. All looks normal. Externally, the aircraft control surfaces are moving as advertised. I recalibrated my controls. No change. I tried making a new profile. No change.

Here's the weird thing. I tried the controls with FSX and DCS. They work fine. But all of a sudden the joystick control is not translating correctly in MSFS. NO idea why. Arghh.... NC

P. S. I only tried flying one Helo in MSFS, and it seemed to respond to controls just fine.
 
Make sure its binding isn't in two different control apps. If you have it set in MSFS Controls and say, Axis & Ohs, they can conflict and cause these kinds of issues if the settings are different.

I checked, and it isn't binding in any other app. I uninstalled the controllers, and reinstalled with Thrustmaster drivers. Problem persists. Helos fly as they should, controllers responding normally, except any of the FlyInside helos. They exhibit the same problem, with immediately banking to the left. All fixed wing aircraft as well, banking to left.

I am at a loss. Just can't isolate the problem, nor find a solution. Crazy. NC
 
I had read that a keyboard key that is sticking could cause problems, so I disabled my keyboard briefly to check. Nope. Still goes left. NC
 
Navy Chief, maybe create new “default” profiles all your controllers/KB/mouse and switch to those? To make sure nothing ended up corrupted in your control scheme?

The helicopter working properly makes me wonder if it’s a aircraft control axis that’s getting the wrong input somewhere.
 
I fixed it, but not exactly what I did to do so. I deleted all flight control surface assignments for my keyboard, and I think that is what did it. NC
