Control Surfaces operation

[ChuckXpilot]

I've got probs operating elevation trim, flaps and mixture with both my Saitek control panel and keyboard.

My Saitek mixture levers won't activate mixture control, so I've assigned a command to control mixture levers with a couple of my Saitek quadrant buttons.

Elevator trim won't operate at all, and flaps operate before takeoff only, then cease to operate after takeoff!!!

Also, this aircraft doesn't take off normally, it floats off the runway like a balloon!

I'm on Win10 with 32M RAM

Cheers

We are planning, for a future update, to add support for controlling the mixture levers via axis.

For pitch trim you must assign the mechanical commands. https://airfightergr.github.io/les_dc3_docs/commands/#pitch-trim.

If flaps does not operate after take off, most probable cause is that you have exceeded flaps speed limits, and they have failed. Pay attention to the placarded limits on the panel.

DC3 has fat, high lift wings, and if you're taking off without any passengers or cargo, and you are light on fuel, takes off very easily.
