Has anyone had this problem? When I start up the a/c, cold and dark, my trim either trims all the way up, or down. It keeps running until it hits the limits.
Can anyone help with this one?

Check for a stuck key on your keyboard first.

No, its not a sticking key...matter of fact, its all controlled with my Saitek X45, but it has been working for years just fine, and just recently began this.

you may have already tried this, but exit flight sim and reset the 727 configuration - I sometimes get a bonkers situation and save it under something else, like ready to taxi, then back to cold and dark, and all is well...
worth a shot...

George, you are a genius. I had it "ready to start" , moved it to "cold and dark", and all is well. Must be a glitch somewhere.
727 people are smarter, plain and simple
