solved On a cold start the tailplane moving through it's full range of travel before settling at full nose up

As title.

Happens when spawning into the jet, without any control inputs, engines are off and the jet powered off.

Can reproduce on Caucuses, Nevada and Syria so far.

Do you mean the trim? 

It happens to me if I go to the back seat before starting engines to pre-configure some switches. For some reason ICEMAN moves the trim to all the way nose up though I never seem to notice until I takeoff, and then I almost die...

The F-5 doesn't have a back seat...

Sorry on mobile it doesn't say F5, it just says "bugs and problems" so I thought it was that common issue wjrh the F14

[HappeeMeal]

No this is F-5 not the F-14.

Anyway, it's not the trims, simply spawn into a cold & dark F-5, jump to F2 view and watch the tailplane and rudder move around.

Hydraulic flight controls will flap in the breeze with no hydraulic pressure in the real world.

Ah that explains it, although I think they are still far to sensitive to wind moving around with only 2 knots.  That wouldn't move the controls of a Cessna never mind an F-5.

Hydraulic flight controls will certainly NOT flap around in the breeze without hyd pumps running!

Unless the system is physically opened by tools or damage - the static pressure in the hyd lines will render the control surfaces firmly in place unless acted upon by a conciderable force.

I find this issue quite annoying myself!
