Within the past couple of days, the elevator trim has started failing for apparently no reason. I only use the Logitech trim wheel, which is always worked normally and still does. However, once I get in the air for whatever reason the elevator trim automatically sets back to zero and the plane stops climbs or accelerating. I don’t and can’t assign the Logitech panel trim wheel for trim, it simply works with the sim trim wheel out of the the box.
After lots of trial and error, and ensuring that auto trim was not on in the assistance options, I discovered that FSUIPC is the culprit. I verified that when FSUIPC is not turned on, everything works fine.
I uninstalled FSUPIC, removed all remnant files, and performed an upgrade to the newest release from a few days ago.
Once reinstalled, I ran the Sim with FSUIPC running, but nothing assigned, again, everything worked normally. I then assigned spoilers axes, flaps axes and a few button functions, and again the elevator trim failed. While in the air and the plane again not climbing or accelerating , and the trim reverted back to zero, I closed FSUIPC. The moment I closed it, the plane started, climbing and accelerating normally again.
this makes zero sense, and I don’t understand why, regardless of not having anything access assigned to elevator trim this is occurring. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please let me know.
Thank you!
