F4-E Flight Controls Problems

Hey everyone,

I've been experimenting with using my Fanatec V3 Pedals as Rudders through vJoy, and initially, everything was smooth sailing - axis, controls, all set up perfectly. However, once I'm airborne, the stick pulls all the way back, completely throwing off my flight dynamics. I've double-checked my flaps/slats and trim positions, and they're all in order. Strangely, this issue doesn't occur when I'm using other modules like the F-16C or the ME-109.

To provide more context, I'm using the T16000m stick and throttle, with the Fanatec V3 directly connected to the USB port. I've meticulously gone through all my controllers to ensure no inadvertent inputs during flight, and I've even cleared all key bindings for the vJoy column.

Interestingly, I've discovered a workaround where I can enable the vJoy panel once I'm in the cockpit. But if I start a mission with vJoy enabled, the F-4 just wants to pitch the nose up uncontrollably.

As a side note, I'm aware that the Throttle has a built-in rudder axis, but I'm planning to update my gear soon, which will result in losing this axis.

This issue seems to be specific to the Phantom, and I'm stumped as to what might be causing it. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Are you taking off with 3 units of nose down trim?

vJoy may report the joystick (rudder) as a force feedback device. Please try disabling Force Feedback in DCS options.

I've already done that and the problem still persist. And I also make sure to take off 3 units of nose trim.

If you could drop a short track with your flight/take off, that would be a massive help.


Sorry for the delay and my bad English hahah

How Can I do that? sorry for the ignorace

Fly in single player, end mission, save mission then find the saved file and post it here

 

I think the path is /Users/<you>/Saved Games/DCS/trackfiles but not at my computer.

Based on your video, I think that you might be checking the wrong Force Feedback option. Please make sure that this one is unselected:
