Svend_Dellepude Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 And then you should go to options/specials tab and enable the nonliner option there. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
Bulldog_1 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 The faster you go, the more lift is generated by the wings, causing the nose to pitch up. With aircraft like the F-5E, F-86F, and A-10A/C, you are always trimming and after awhile it becomes second nature. Without a doubt, the F-5E is a good aircraft to learn how to fly.

Reflected Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Uncheck the nonlinear option in the menu. IRL, the neutral position of the stick is forward from center. If you have FFB that's great. If not, you need to constantly apply forward pressure in order to keep you virtual stick neutral. I'd wager that's what is causing your problem. 1 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

I had a force feedback joystick plugged in the other and day and this option apparently stayed on after unplugging it, causing me 30 mins of troubleshooting my joystick setup - thanks !
