I only run full fuel. I haven't every progressed to the point of flying with less. I'll look to the cfg and modeling people for help. It appears MANY are having the same problem with this plane.

OK Pete, I have more information. The keyboard makes no difference. Apparently, at least on my end, it's the KingAir that's at issue. The smallest touch of the keyboard of the throttle on the yoke sets the plane off at a high rate. So high that I end up skidding all over the tarmac when I execute any turns, etc. I've even crashed a few times from tipping over onto a wing. I found that I can offset it a bit by feathering but even that is touchy. I would assume that as I feather, the prop blades move in degrees but no setting there appears to be right either. Either the plane is going along too fast or, it comes under control for a bit but then the plane comes to a slow stop requiring me to push the feather control back to where the plane goes into high gear again.

I haven't really watched it but will to see what it's doing. Many others report this so I'll be surprised if we all have faulty hardware. I agree. It's a rough catch-22. Do a search on this here and at Flightsim.com and you'll see it's quite common. Thanks for at least giving me some things to look into.

Pete, I own FSUIPC (thanks for the great product) and have a problem others seem to be experiencing too. I prefer to fly the default King Air 350 and use a CH Products Yoke and Pro Pedals. The throttle has a bit of dead space in it where you register no movement (though that's not the problem). When it does finally register movement, the King Air seems to bolt into too much power and my taxiing ends up being a tedious affair of continual brake application. There just doesn't seem to be a way to keep it under control. Others say they've gotten around this by using just the keyboard controls to get it to the right minimal speeds but that defeats the purpose. I was wondering if FSUIPC might be able to help here. Others note the problem with any joystick with a throttle control, not just the yoke.

Me too. After calibrating my pedals (they were working fine but I wanted to be thorough) FS responded by continually acting as if the brakes were on. I had to set FSUIPC to take over for the rudders to get it out of that state.

I'd love to see a picture of that so I could match it. Is this on a CH Yoke by any chance? If so, how'd you attach it?

Pete, Do you find that the CH Yoke has a bit of trouble getting going off of the full back position? I have to move mine several steps before it kicks in and when it does, it tends to kick in pretty heavy. Am I just setup wrong? I do have Feather set with a VERY off-center dead-zone idle. It works great but the jumpy start is a bit concerning.

Pete, I was glad to pay for FSUIPC. The Feather control was worth it for me and much of it is lost on me but that alone was needed. That said, I just upgraded my system. I used to only have 2 USB ports with my monitor having a hub. I used to manually plug in the pedals and yoke every time to the hub on the desk. The new system has 16 USB ports so I've decided to permanently hook up the pedals and yoke by running the cables behind my desk and just keeping the yoke on top of my PC. So, I read that there's concern for always using the same ports and I've stuck to that. Is there a process for allowing me to move the ports and paste in the settings which I worked at to get just right?
