Hi FH,

This is happening after you've trimmed out?

[Flippo_Hippo]

This is happening on all aircraft despite being trimmed or not.....
All seem to want to do a nice loop, not so entertaining in a HE111

[ATAG_Snapper]

I can only speak for the aircraft I fly, the Spitfires and the Hurricanes, which require constant elevator & rudder trim adjustments with any change in throttle, pitch, attitude (climb, dive, level, turn), undercarriage, flaps, etc. to avoid the situation you describe.

I can only suggest you check your joystick defection values in Options/Controls/Axis to ensure your MSFFFB2 is calibrated OK for this sim.

Im not a 100% sure in regard to the defection settings and what i should be doing with them, any guideance into what they are and what i should be looking to adjust them too, they will still be on the default settings as i havent touched them.

Oops, typo -- make that "deflection". Sorry - my bad.

It's easy to check.

When you go to the Controls Options menu, click on the "Axes" tab, for the Category: Aircraft Assignment List look at the second "Event" down: "Elevator"

Simply left click over to the right in the "Command" column where it will show the corresponding elevator axis assignment (it'll be something like "Joystick + Y Axis")

Wiggle your joystick back and forth in the Y axis and see if the green deflection indicator actually shows full deflection (values between +1.00 and - 1.00; center should be 0.00).

[ATAG_Snapper]

If you're not getting full deflection both ways, or your stick doesn't seem to indicate proper centering, then you might consider recalibrating your MSFFB2 stick in Windows joystick calibration utility (Game Controllers - Properties).

I use a couple of axes in my CH Quadrant for trim controls, but I know other players reassign the up/down and left/right arrow keys for them because they're more intuitive to use. Others use the hat control on their joystick if using TrackIR or the mouse to pan around.

Possibly someone else here will have some ideas. Good lick!
