Thanks SNAFU. I can vaguely remember reading that about the dampers disengaging. I'll try it later on and see what happens! Best wishes, Luke

Hello! I am encountering a odd behaviour with the auto hover at very low levels and was wandering if I am doing something wrong....? I can establish a stable hover higher up and after trimming, engaging the auto hover in conjunction with the clutch (f key) everything is sweet. However, on a few occasions at around 10m height or less, I manually hover, trim, but when I engage auto hover, the nose pitches up and without intervention the aircraft would crash. I expect I am missing something but I'd love to know what! Thanks and best wishes, Luke (The CFI) :thumbup:

Got the problem sorted out. Thanks very much. It somehow makes so much more sense when someone spells out to obvious!!! Many thanks for your help :-) Luke

Ah yes- fabulous reply, thanks! I like the sound of a single trigger. It may not be strictly authentic but then neither is taking a keyboard flying with me! Cheers!

Hello all, This is my first post after lurking for quite a while! I have done a search and read several acounts of what appear to be the same problem, or similar but I have yet to find a solution. In essence, I can release weapons by holding down SPACE+RALT but when I map my X52 to do the same thing, it simply won't work. All of my other mappings seem to work fine but not this one. I read somewhere that you have to hold the keys down for a second or so because there is a delayed firing response. My experience would seem to confirm this. However, could it be that the Saitek profiler is not sending a long enough command to the simulator? Furthermore, is there anyway of modifying the profiler's behaviour in this respect? Any feedback would be very gratefully received! Best wishes, Luke (The CFI) :thumbup:
