FSUIPC now updated to 4.955. No change in problem.
Yes, the visual effect on the wings in external view shows no change in ailerons - they are stuck left wing down, right wing up. Though the ranges in FSUIPC move as reported, the ailerons (in external view) do not. The yoke in VC view moves as expected. Note that ALL other axes work fine (elevator, pedals, brakes, throttle, mixture, prop pitch).
I am using the stock FSX Cessna 172. I went through the entire stable of my aircraft and this is on ALL planes - be they stock FSX or add-ons. Is it possible there is some corrupt common file in the aircraft folder somewhere which relates to all aircraft? I am just not savvy enough to evaluate that possibility. I have validated files in Steam twice - no errors.
Again, I really appreciate your efforts in helping me.
Thanks.
