Many thanks for that advice. I have been going mad trying to sort it out and you just did it for me, many many thanks Tusler, I now flies and flies great. Cheers Dave

Well guys I expected a few problems with early release and I have read how hard it is to control in the air and takeoff, but I cant even do that. As soon as I start a Cold State mission, the hel'o starts going straight back and crashes into whatever is behind me unless I hit the esc button first. In the 2 days I have owned it I have never got it off the ground from a cold or hot start and I have recorded being killed 11 times, until I started hitting the esc button. I have uninstalled all my mods in the saved games location, which include all aircraft and all items in the Tech folder and no matter what map I start on, and I own all the maps, the aircraft will just take off backwards without the engines running, ie cold state and I crash into whatever is behind me. I have started a mission with engines running and again all it wants to do is roll backwards until I push stick all the way forward and force trim. Once in the air, which is once out of every 10 attempts the aircraft will pitch nose down and no matter how much you pull back and force trim up, you will still nose dive into the ground. I have started while already in the air and again it will nose dive and no matter how much force trim up you give it, you will still hot the ground. I am pretty good at all other helo's and I own all of them. I fly multiplayer with them and have never had a problem, except with Hind a few times, so I can handle the helo's, but this problem with going backwards is a nightmare. I have uninstalled all of my bought modules and I own every one of the except the I-16 and still the Apache just goes backwards while in cold state, or any state for the matter. I have run out of ideas on how to fix this problem. I have all the controls set correctly in options, as shown by senior members on youtube, so who knows whats wrong with it. Hope someone out there may have some idea where I can start to look to fix the problem, or it will remain uninstalled and I wont waste my flying time on it anymore. Many thanks for the advice but I should have read every post in the forum, but I was going mad. Tusler gave me the solution. I had the Game Mode Box ticked in options, its the very top box on the left side with Avionics Box underneath it. I can now start it, take off and it flies like a dream, just need to do some control fine tuning and it will be my go to Helo when I feel like flying them. Many thanks again everyone cheers. Many thanks for any help in advance, cheers.

Hi Flappie, many thanks for the advise I will give it a go, Cheers.

Hi all, I dont know if Im in the right place to ask this, but here goes. Somehow my Default Keyboard LUA file has been overridden by my F-5E keyboard LUA. I must have done it when I was saving the control settings and didnt have it pointed too the correct place which is in: Saved Games/DCS/Config/Input/F-5E/Keyboard folder, but instead I must have pointed it too the Keyboard LUA File in: Program File/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Config/Input/Aircraft/Common//Keyboard/Default LUA file, and it has overwrote the originals. It has also overwrote the Program File/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Config/Input/Aircraft/Default/Keyboard/Default LUA file. All aircraft now have the F-5E keyboard commands when trying to change control options when setting up different aircraft. I have done something wrong along the way when saving the F-5E keyboard file after changing the control options and saving. Anyway, it would be great if someone could post the original two Default Keyboard LUA files here, so I can override the incorrect ones. Otherwise I am going to have too download the entire DCS Game file and put everything back in, which will take sometime as I own all the aircraft, Maps and Campaigns, plus a few mods I have also. Any help with these two files would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Dave.
