RoyLFlush -

Ok, I'm going to speculate here that things relate to the calibration
steps. It's important to move all sticks, press all buttons, and flip
all switches, and turn the flap knob. If one of these is missed (the
first time through), there can be an issue, and that's why removing
the .cal file and recalibrating following all steps helps. Use the
TacCon controller on this first pass. In a few days we'll have a
patch that can handle missing a step in the calibration process. But
again if things are done per instructions, then this calibration issue
does not come up. So maybe this is what happened, or maybe not...

If the sim has already been installed, it can be made into a fresh
install by going into the Options menu, and on the last page click on
"Use Default Options Upon Shutdown" and the also delete the .cal file.

Thanks for taking the time to help out.

BTW - I'm guessing that over the weekend your friends talked to
someone at Horizon (not me).
