I duno what is with my FS9 but it seems liek theres always a f***king problem! Seriously it gets soo annoying to have to deal with them. This time whenever my airplane is moving (regardless of which one) I either cant turn it or it begins to go in circles uncontrollably either to the left or right...Ive callibrated the joystick many times but FS9 seems to mess up the calibration. Recently I got a new joystick the Saitek ST290 pro and it worked great up until yesterday. Could PMDG have something to do with it? The last thing i remember doing before it broke is updating the 737-800 and -900 to version 1.2 or whatever the new version is and I also remember deleting both my fs9.cvg files...could this do something. This is really screwing up my weekend as i wanted to take a flight but have to deal with tis crap. Really any solutions would be great!

Are you sure that both throttles are moving inside the plane when you increase them? That could cause them to "spin"

Try using FS9 without the Saitek programming software. I have a Saitek EVO and I never bothered to use the programming software thinking it may cause a conflict with the FS9 settings (which work fine). You may also try installing newer drivers. Be sure also in the game controllers properties config that your stick is set to ID 1. This can be important, especially in older games. Hope this helps.

Yes both throttles increase at the same rate. Well my joystick didnt come with software, I just plugged it in and worked fine. I did install new drivers and that didnt seem to help. I think the problem is with FS9. Ill keep trying stuff.

Well now for some reason the aircraft doesnt go in circles but then doesnt turn at all. If i wanna turn i have to use the rudder and its a lot easier to use the aierlions...plz anyother suggestions? The joystick is configurated to move the aerlions around but it doesnt...however the vertical thing (lol) moves up and down so i can descend and ascend but cant turn...(only with rudder) this is becoming pretty stupid...

I noticed that this ticket was opened on May 29 and here it is June 9, so, I don't know if this problem has been resolved. But if it hasn't, try disconnecting hardware from your USB ports one at a time until the problem clears up.
