I have down loaded fms into my dell with windows xp and cannot fly the plane with the keyboard. when i try to takoff or turn the model just continues ahead untill it crashes on the ground which it never leaves. I can move the nose and start the model moving but that is all. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance, CAZ

Can you fly a ral RC plane?

If not setup the keyboard controls to the way you like them. I like elev and ail on the arrow keys t & y For rudder and f & g for throttle.

To turn use a little ail in the direction of the turn to bank then apply up elevator (down on the controls) to turn after the turn apply ail in the other direction to level out.

If you need more help let me know

Open FMS
Go to Controls
Then Keyboard
Then go to aileron left - you will probably want to make that "4"
Then go to aileron left - you will probably want to make that "6"

8 can still be down and 2 should be up elevators.


HTH,
Brad

also make sure you have all joystick interfaces disabled

dunno, its funny but its seems my models need 'trimming'!
most of them fly down and towards the left, when i take my hands off the keyboard [still waiting to get my iface ready]
any ideas whats up?

thanks
