Title: getting old
Post by maggiedog on Sep 7^th, 2012 at 7:24pm

Reinstalled my inhanced cfs2,over 1 gig. My planes will start and go down the runway but will not takeoff. Elevator is in down position. When I push stick foward it goes to neutral.
I have worked in settings. No luck. My 78 year old is not up to the prob. Ageing is not for the timid. elslasho [Larry]

Hello Maggie...

Have you set-up/tested your Joystick settings?

Windows Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > Game Controllers (Joystick) > Right-Click = Settings > Properties....

Rotate, etc, the stick to check all the movements are OK!

When I run my FS 2004 Sim I have to rotate the stick through all its travel BEFORE I take off, to centralise everything!

Paul...Age = 78...My only problem is the; "Water-Works"... ;)... ;D...!

I installed the stock cfs2 with the same problem. So it does look like my CH 568 combatstick is the culprit. I should be able to fix that. Thanks for the help. Reno air races start this week and some of the flights form up over this valley. I like it.

You couldn't get much closer to Reno than that!
