cannot reproduce and missing track file Jet goes vertical right after take off - can't fly level - and trim doesn't help

[tdyrsmid]

If I spawn to free flight, everything works great. However, if I spawn to ready on the ramp, right after take off, the plane flies as though I'm holding the stick full aft...and no amount of trim does anything to fix it. The only way I can achieve level flight is to push the stick full forward.....and this is NOT the way it used to be. 

I've spent an hour looking for binds in other controllers for both trim and the pitch axis and there are no duplicates. 

FYI...in the attached picture, notice the position of the elevators. My stick is in the neutral position when I took this screenshot. 

Thanks in advance for some help!

The elevators are normal. Do you press the FCS reset and TO trim buttons after engine start? There is no trim required after takeoff and cleaning up, the F18 trims its elevators itself.

Also ensure you set flaps to HALF for takeoff. If you lift off with flaps in AUTO is messes with the FCS logic and you'll have to switch flaps out of AUTO and back to reset it.

Also if you put your flaps from half to auto above 250 knots it messes with the system sometimes. But for sure make sure you are starting off in half flaps for takeoff.
