Maybe your autopilot is turned on still, check and turn it off if it is!

The yaw damper works like a wing leveler except for the rudder (yaw axis). Do you see the rudder or nose wheel moving when you move the controls?

make sure the joystick is fully plugged in, and also try cleaning the usb plug on your joystick. do this by simply blowing into a couple times. sometimes the dust prevents it from fully connecting to the computer.... Roll Eyes

Make sure "auto coordination" is on if your using your joystick. It's in the realizm settings.

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

I wouldn't suggest doing this. Even the slightest bit of moisture can really throw your system out of whack.

Instead, I'd spend three or four bucks on a can of compressed air specifically designed for such a feat. (It's great for other things as well, like keeping your cats off the table.)

Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&www.google.com

If you're are using joystick make sure that ,in realism setting the autorudder is set on otherwise the plane won't turn on the ground and only the aileron will work and not the rudder,they should do it together in this
way. remeber AUTORUDDER ON
