DC-7B

It's something simple, I'm sure, but I can't find it.

Loaded the DC6 and 7 b files along with their corresponding panel and sound files, and get the planes to load up just fine.
They're wonderful, by the way!

I take off in either plane, and start climbing out and at some point they won't respond to the yoke, (a Saitek Cyborg 3D USB).

I look around the cockpit in pan mode, and the yokes are both responding as you'd expect them to, but the plane doesn't.

This doesn't always happen incidentally, but often.

What is going on???

Hi,

Sounds like the AP turned on for some reason. Turn it off (on the center windshield post). Perhaps you pressed the letter Z (i.e. using the GPS in China, for example)?

Hope this helps,

Btw, Tom, do you know why the VC textures are totaly weird on the DC6B? looks like a pshychedelic thing.. all expanded and copied over in the VC cockpit..

Hi,

They shouldn't look any different than on the DC-7's - exactly the same VC...

Tom: It was indeed the ap turned on; It seems to load that way by default, and needs to be turned off.

Odd

But turning it off works, and the planes DC6 and 7 are really great.

Thanks

The AP will be in the state you last left it, if you use Previous Flight as your default flight. Otherwise it would be in your default flight, or the last plane you flew.

Loading my panel will not change the current state of the AP master switch.

Glad to hear things are working OK for you.
