Simple way round the spinning like a top prob is before slewing disable joystick (In FS2004 - Options, Controls, Disable Joystick) and then use the numeric keypad for slewing. I found this approach to be much more accurate. HTH Remember to re-enable joystick before your flight.

. Don't have pedals myself. Good that you can get round the problem in slew mode as it does help when positioning the a/c to set up your nonilsrw files. JoeMini, also on the tour, uses pedals & doesn't have the same problem you describe. Might it be something to do with the setup??? Your scores are getting uncomfortably close to picking up a non existant award on this tour. Nice one. I think we'll have to feed you some Roo Curry to slow you down a bit! Biggles

I'm a slave to habit - over the past 24 hours I've laid out a pattern that works... for me... for now.- Launch MSFS.
- Load [or set] current weather. For the S&S Tour, I like flying with real-time static snapshots as each leg is a fairly short hop.
- Ye Olde Pothole Digger preloads, so I go to the active runway of my next tour leg.
- Shift-Z to pull up the lat/long readout.
- Taxi up to the touchdown zone or aiming point.
- Open fsfsrwys.txt in my main fsx folder, and copy the entry for the runway I'm on.
- Create a new text file in the FSFS nonILS folder.
- Rename that file, pasting in the fsfsrwys.text entry from step 6.
- Edit the lat/long figures from FSX screen, edit the "airport name" parameter - I use the format NAME_[3RDPARTY_]CUSTOMLOCATION. (For instance today I added TOWNSVILLE_ORBX_AIMINGPOINT.YBTL)
- Then it's just a matter of going to Flight Planner, making a flight plan from my current leg to the next leg (the one that I just made the file for), and moving me to my starting box.
- Then load up FSFS, say hello to Smitty, and start my pre-flight.
I've had my pedals for 7-8 years now, and the slew tornado has plagued me ever since. So when I was setting up my key assignements a few months ago after installing FSX, I unmapped the Y key as in the past I've occassionally hit Y in mid-flight by accident. Not pretty....

| I had the same problem when I first got my yoke/pedal set. It turned out to be NOT the pedals, but the levers on the yoke, (or in my case - beside the yoke) (on the CH yoke the three levers are ON the yoke - on my Saitek the throttle quardrant is beside it) It was one of the levers that caused the problem. I cannot remember which one (not the throttle lever of course) but if I placed one of the others in CENTER position instead of bottom position, then the spinning stopped. I could actually control the heading of the plane - in slew mode - with the lever. But it was never a problem with the pedals.....
Regards Ole Andreasen, Denmark

I just tried in my 172. Left brake pedal and / or throttle lever control spin. Right brake pedal controls fore/aft. Feather and mixture levers - nada. Still tho', ta!
