yep, bypassing the throttle didn't work. Pc wouldn't recognize the stick.

thanks guys. I am hoping to get it working soon enough to participate sunday. I ordered an extension cord to plug the stick directly into the pc and bypass the throttle and if that doesn't work I will try those suggestions.

I am using, or trying to use, a X52 from Logitech. The pitch axis keeps getting off center. I have tried every fix I could find online. It causes a real issue. Especially flying at low altitudes because suddenly, when it happens, the plane wants to dive. Seems a common issue with this stick near as I can tell. HAs anyone successfully overcome this? My last ditch effort is going to be to take the cord going from the stick to throttle and plug it directly into the pc. If that doesn't work, I think I will need a new stick. Unless someone here knows of a working solution.

Well, I work Monday they Friday. 7:30 am to 4:00 PM. I am on quite a bit. I really do need improvement though. Just tried to use my P51 fir a mining drill. I found no oil except for the oil in the plane. It went everywhere I would assume. Lol But yeah. I am in Florida. So running on Eastern time zone.

HI, I'm Chad. I started flying sims as a teen. I have owned every Janes flight sim, Microsoft combat flight sim of one version or another, Falcon 4.0 and man others. My favorite turned out to be WW2 plane sims. The reason is, modern planes you are heavily relying on tech for a kill. WW2, its all the pilot and his team. But I have not been able to fly for quite a while. Last time, IL2 1946 was relatively new. My PC would not run anything better than War Blunder. And I truly hate that game and the play style it encourages. All that said, I finally built a new pc, I am getting the hang of Great Battles, and would love to find some like minded people to fly with. I am 45, really seeking common sense people who actually can think. This comment may seem harsh but I don't think most people can really exercise critical thinking skills anymore. I consider myself a novice virtual pilot but I know enough not to get in the way if my mate has the upper hand in a fight. I will watch his six instead. Common sense. I really lie the way the group works together on Sheriffs Sim Shack on Youtube. And they have fun. It is a game but there also needs to respectful game play so everyone can have fun. This is basically my thinking. I would love to fly in a group, I would love to increase my skill level, and I would love to have fun. I prefer fighter planes. P51 has been my absolute favorite eve since I knew what a plane was. But I enjoy the BF 109 as well. Not much for Russian planes personally, Maybe lack of knowledge is to blame there. And not a lot of experience with British planes.
