Thank you For your fast reply :) I shall take a look at this later and report back to you. G.

Hello Guys and Gals, I wonder if you can help me. I am a complete technophobe and the thought of going into files absolutely scares the bejeezus out of me. Here goes.... For about 2 years, I have had this problems with my joystick in that the 'Z Rotation' would fluctuate by itself. Fine when you are parked on a stand of if you have the parking brake set. Taxi-ing to the runway, taking off or taxi-ing off the runway was a complete pain in the posterior cause I just knew that if i took my hands off the controller, the plane would veer sharply right (sometimes left). But you know what, I just put up with it. As i said at the start, I am a technophobe and would rather have FS in some form rather than none if i start pushing buttons! Then I started to get angry with it. Why should I 'put up with it'? I called Saitek / Mad Catz to see if they could offer any advice. They helped me delete some file or other from my registry that may have been the issue. They also reset the configuration of my stick..... NO CHANGE!!! I was very much minded it was the stick. A friend of mine (who i introduced to FS via a friend) said to me.... 'It wont be the stick. What you need is FSUIPC. It is brilliant and you will be able to control everything from there.' So off to simmarket i went and bought FSUIPC. My friend sent me a joystick and i started using it. What I am getting now is that whenever i change the position of the power controller, the aircraft will veer right because the rudder moves. When i correct it the aircraft will then go straight. Until i change the position of the power controller. And it does it again. Any help would be gratefully received to rectify this issue. All I would like to do is taxi in a straight line so the ATC doesnt think i am 'under the influence'! Many thanks in advance for any assistance. Best Regards and happy landings, Graeme.
