And you don't think that there is not a way to half as**d trim the plane on the ground before takeoff?
Really? Gee, I never thought you could do that! Thank you for the very helpful information. I'll try doing that next time.

Well like i said i can fly planes.........The only thing normal on this simulator is the first part of the take off,but even then it will not realy let you use any rudder.After lift of it is a continual battle as the plane wants to climb,dive,roll to the extrem right of left and to try to maintain any control you must continually apply right or left aileron as it will not fly level for more than a few seconds if that long.There is nothing about this stupid simulator that represents any airplane i have ever built or flown.Most planes i have built may need a little trim in the ailerons for straight flight and a little trim up or down in the elevator at half throttle for level flight.I can't see how using this simulator could be benificial to anyone as most models would never fly like that.Trim levers have very little affect to correcting the handling of this plane on the simulator.I have allways read that simulators are suppose to help sharpen a flyier.Don't see how trying to fly a continualy out of contol airplane is suppose to help anyone.You would not do that with a real model...you would try to get it back on the ground in one piece and try to figure out what the hell is going on with it.????

Did you calibrate your controller with your PC's operating system like I suggested? If you did...then get another SIM. The free one I can only assume is FMS and its not that great to begin with. If you are not wanting to spend too much, Clear View SIM is pretty good and only 40 bucks. Also, if your operating system is Visa or Windows 7...FMSmight be flaky as I have heard some people have issues with it on those operating systems. So that may be your issue too.
But your symptom to me sounds like your controller has not been calibrated. I have tried about 4 different SIMs and they all at least fly up/down left/right with no ill effects unless I go into the settings and make the rates or EXPO different.
When your controller has not been calibrated...it is unkown by your PC where the center of the axis are on said controller.
