SOLVED by resetting axis tuning. I didn’t realize that you shouldn’t have curves or change saturation in DCS with FFB. @Troll this should probably be moved to the Moza AB9 topic. Thanks.
@PaulRix did you notice being out of forward pitch trim in level flight? Frustrated why I was having difficult flying the Phantom yesterday when she is normally very well behaved, I took some test flights when we returned from dinner. I realized that to maintain level flight, I was more of less out of pitch trim. That was also why my altitude hold refused to function.
I tried various maps, altitudes, air speeds, throttle positions. all with similar results.
F-4E pitch trim in approximate level flight. Still wants to climb slightly.
Other DCS modules trim to level flight normally. F-5E in level flight.
Before loading DCS, both Windows and VPC joy test show return to center.
So something changed with the latest HeatBlur updates to the Phantom.
