il2 steering problem

Tromp · 05-10-13, 01:10 PM

So I am in this Finnish campaign with il2 1946 with DCG. Today my plane steers horribly left. I have to pull full right with rudder to keep level. Anyone had such a problem before? In autopilot it runs normal.

Try reconfiguring your joystick.

Take a look at it in the windows config area, should be under gaming devices or something like that, if it's not centring there then you might need to ask Windows to reconfigure it, and if that doesn't work then you might have a fault with it.

Depends of the joystick actually. The calibration in some, and I think most of,
the new ones is just a matter of moving all the axes to the extremes and it
calibrates itself.

Which plane it is? Have you noticed it before with that plane type? Maybe it's a feature of that plane?

My joystick is old and it pulls the rudder left. I'm used to it though. I can fly fine by turning the stick a bit.

ah ok thanks just calibrating it from my gaming devices worked fine. Guess it got messed up somehow.
