uncomanded right rudder trim

[teeb57]

after months of solving this problem, the uncommanded rudder trim issue has returned. all aircraft in fs2004 & pmdg are affected. after moving any axis or touching any button, the rudder trim mover full deflection. i took this log & would hope anyone can help me make sense of this. thanks in advance for any help, steve

ty mt. after hours of trying to understand what could be causing this i decided to close fs2004, shut the computer down & disconnect the joystick. starting everything from a clean slate seems to have fixed the problem. one of these days i'll learn to start with the easiest fix 1st. but it all works great agin thanks for your input

i wanted to write this update to the control problem that ive posted here just in case anyone else has the same or a similar problem. i hope someone else out there can benefit from the hours of tinkering that it took me with this problem that turned out to be a very simple fix.

uncommanded control movements, in my case the rudder, were reoccurring. i thought the problem had been fixed several months ago but started again 2 days ago. the problem was due to the joystick being plugged into a "bad" port. after trying different ports on the computer, all was well. but when reconnecting to the suspected port, the problem reoccurred each time.
