correct as-is FA/18 C Does not working with x55 hotas please help

[Smallard]

The elevators on the Fa18 are in the up position when starting the game. Even though my stick is calibrated.

Hi.

To me, your post can be read as not a bug or trouble with X55.
F/A-18C's Fly-by-Wire (FBW) might set a positive elevator trim value 14 degrees in spawning on the ground before take-off.
Isn't it ?

And in cruise flight time, FBW elevator will keep the current position with the stick of neutral position.

@Smallard The best way to determine if your issue is one, and if it is caused by your peripherals is to attach a short DCS track: run a mission, show the issue, exit the mission, click Save Track in the debriefing menu, then attach your .trk file here.

Western_JPN, that is the issue

The elevators starts at either 12, or 13, or 14, degrees up, but when I push the stick down, it only goes down to 3 degrees up. It doesn’t go all the way down and past 0. I don’t know how to fix it. I have been starting from parking hot. Does that have anything to do with this problem?

That's not a problem, that is as per design. 12-14 is the takeoff trim / position. If you want them to go to 0 for whatever reason, put flaps to half or full and trim nose down.
