I also private message to Lewis on; 8/6/2022 about B377’s behavior issue, but I am still waiting for Lewis will reply my private message.TreeTops wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 19:20 Lewis, from what I observed with Andrewwhb17 during a livestream was as follows :
Controls and keybindings seemed to be without conflict.
On the ground the elevator smoothly followed the movements of the joystick, as did the trim tab.
However once in the air (with a COG well within limits and neutral trim), speed slowly increasing and reducing flaps, the joystick required 90-100% forward movement (elevator showing 90-100% down) just to maintain required pitch of 0-1000 fpm. This behaviour remained the same at full clean configuration in level flight up near 200 knots.
Both of these guys are running FSX Steam. Does anyone else have a Steam install with the B377 for testing?
I did a quick flight last week with FSX and everything was working fine for me.

Re: Can't get off the ground no matter what
yes, it happens with the 172 too. I should posted in the forums when I first saw it. It happened after I brought it too. Love all A2A planes and thinking of buying the B17 or piper cub nextLewis - A2A wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 06:59 Hello,
have you tried using the keyboard to control the aircraft with the controller fully unplugged, i'd still be wagering on this being a simple control issue, as mentioned with something like spoilers being deployed or trim being jammed to its extent.
You now also mention the C172, are you saying this shoots upwards too, is this a new issue for the 172?
thanks,

I would recommend to get B-17, it’s really enjoyable and fun to fly. Also, you can fly above more than 30K altitudes.AbstractArtist wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 04:57yes, it happens with the 172 too.

They normally do all support on the forums as it might help others with the same problem, if the solution is in a pm, it’s a secret

can you please elaborate on this. In what way doesnt it work, is it exactly as if the controller was plugged in using keyboard and mouse to fly?

Re: Can't get off the ground no matter what
Ok, so at which point did you notice the issue. Was it after purchasing and installing the 377 or the 172?AbstractArtist wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 04:57 yes, it happens with the 172 too.

If its a new install it would point towards the update not being applied correctly which I can walk you through a manual reinstall of the update if you can confirm when it went from working to not working. Do you have other Accu-sim aircraft, can you let us know how these behave?

Re: Can't get off the ground no matter what
I tested it out on the B377 Stratocruiser to control the aircraft by just using mouse and keyboard. Before I begin to quick test fly with the B377 while using mouse and keyboard as the following; I unplugged out of my joystick and my rudder pedals and making sure that FSX is not running while unplugging them. Once I did that, I launched the FSX on Steam Edition, aircraft selected was A2A B377, and clicked on the box says “Fly Now!”. After all the steps for setting up, I begin to flying with the Stratocrusier while controling it by using mouse and keyboard only, hopefully if this worked and should be back to normal were it should be. But instead, the B377 had the same pitching behavior problem like; taking off from the ground of the runway and begins to stall out, while during inflight using the autopilot switches, plus altitude hold on, the aircraft itself still continue to pitch violently straight up. Especially, I already updated the latest accusim after unstalling and restalling Wos B377 and Captain of the Ship for B377.Lewis - A2A wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 09:28Hello,andrewhb17 wrote: ↑10 Aug 2022, 18:38

I also mentioned that, TreeTops observation with me during a livestream on A2A Community Discord as follows:
1. Controls and keybindings seemed to be without conflict.
2. On the ground the elevator smoothly followed the movements of the joystick, as did the trim tab.
3. However once in the air (with a COG well within limits and neutral trim), speed slowly increasing and reducing flaps, the joystick required 90-100% forward movement (elevator showing 90-100% down) just to maintain required pitch of 0-1000 fpm. This behavior remained the same at full clean configuration in level flight up near 200 knots.

Re: Can't get off the ground no matter what
I have been following this post and tried out the 377 today and found that the only way to takeoff and keep the aircraft in the air is to trim the aircraft full down on takeoff and keep it there to keep it from stalling and falling out of the sky. The 172 also needs a lot of trim down as with the t-6. I am using FSX Steam as a sim. I had no problems with the aircraft up until a couple weeks ago when Steam did an update. There have been no changes to my system or addons. all other A2A aircraft seem to be flying normal. I will try out all of my A2A aircraft and do a follow up after my flights.

Re: Can't get off the ground no matter what
So I took all of my A2A aircraft up for a buzz, The B-17, P-40, Spitfire, P-51, T-6, Comanche 250 , C-172, B-377 with captain of the ship, and the Connie and found that the only aircraft that were wonkie with the trim having to be in a full or almost full down position were the C-172 and the B-377. The 377 had to have a full down trim to be able to fly with the 172 almost having to be full down to fly. The T-6 had to have a little more trim down than usual but not enough to be a bother. As I had said in my above post all of the planes had flow perfect in the Steam version of FSX until an update made a few weeks ago which is when I first noticed a difference, I have made no changes to my setup since I purchased my new computer and Steam a year ago. I hope that this will shed some light on the problem and a fix will be able to be made. I am also using a Saitek X52 Pro as a flight controller and have checked all settings for ghost movements in the controller and all is working fine there.

Re: Can't get off the ground no matter what
It was after purchasing and installing both the 377 and 172. I can fly the 172 once I put the trim all the way down but it doesn't work for the 377. I also want the b17 one day.Lewis - A2A wrote: ↑11 Aug 2022, 09:31Ok, so at which point did you notice the issue.

Re: Can't get off the ground no matter what
I noticed the same thing. I have both 377 and 172 and without trim full down, it can't fly.
