Hey Maarten, I may have gotten rid of the black screen issue. I am not alone with the other problems though, there are several threads in these forums with people having the same problems. Some calibration issues are being caused by the interface. These cables are pretty cheesy. I understand they were making new cables but I don't know if I got one of the old ones or a new one. I just received my AFPD last week. Anybody know how you can tell? Others are having problems from plane to plane as well. Seems like that has to be a bug in the software. I reinstalled last night and only flew the Extra and didn't have any problems. I'll slowly introduce other planes and see what happens.

BTW, thanks for the Extra settings. I did however go to 1 degree of downthrust on the engine and it seems a bit easier to fly smoothly, especially rolling to inverted. I don't use any expo or dual rates. I've been on AFPD less than a week and have yet to get my real trainer in the air though so take that into consideration I can already hover a bit though, hopefully the real thing is not that much more difficult than this. Kind of makes me wonder about my trainer, the Extra in AFPD is so much easier to fly than the pt40.
