Does anyone know how to fix the captain sim 757 wing rocking. Ive installed the newest FSUIPC 4.60 and I have version 4.4 for the 757. I use FSX SP2 and Windows7 64 bit

What wing rocking? I also fly CS757 on FSX, in fact just did a flight a few days back,
and I have not noticed anything like this. Is it subtle or pronounced?

Have you done any tweaks to the aircraft.cfg?? For instance, I have a change that
improves the autoland performance, but its one parameter (elevator trim effectiveness
if memory serves). I have been VERY happy with both the CS 757 and 767.

Might go look at AVSIM forums to see if you find anything.

Good luck,

Is the wing rocking only at altitude? If so, then it is due to the terrible FS wind modeling over some parts of the world (the wind changes aren't gradual, but very sudden). I fixed the problem by downloading and running the FlightOne registry repair tool http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library It will smooth out the winds enough to eliminate all or nearly all of the rocking.

Hope this helps.

It also corrects different files that might be having trouble running. I spent days researching how to fix this, I saw this suggestion, tried it, and it worked for me. You can try to find an alternate solution but this works. I was confused at first as you are but I was so desperate I tried it and voila.

No its not the winds. Its actually a common problem a lot of CS 757 and 767 users have. The problem is CS wont address it anymore. They made a fix for it but it only works for some people. I just didnt know if someone here had a trick to fix it.

What customers never understand is, you can't fix what you can't reproduce. I am a
software engineer at Intel, I get customer reports of problems with my drivers, but if
I cannot reproduce the problem I have NO way to "fix" it, so I will query them for more
data or details to help me figure out how to reproduce it.

Try to give CS and other vendors a break, start by not shouting and calling them names,
be positive, friendly, act like you're on their side and they may surprise you.

I tried to ask nicely. They asked for the specs of my computer, which I gave them, and I wrote them a detailed report of whats happening, like they asked me to do, and all i got was a thank you for your issue. That was three months ago, CS has horrible customer service. They could at least follow up with there customers who pay good money, but still have issues.
