When i'm in the manual stages of flight (approach and take off) the aircraft dips and asends wildly without warning.
It started happening when i started flying Concorde, and i thought it was just the Concorde being a stubben wee thing and didn't take notice but now it's happening too all aircraft mostly in approach i'll give an example;

I was landing my DC-7 into KLAX yesterday when around 2000ft it started bucking wildly up i push down on the stick, nothing then it slow'y comes right then it dives wildly then comes level and always when i flare the aircraft it nose dives.

I use a Genius Maxfighter F-23U

The only thing I can suggest is to recalibrate your joystick...using FSUIPC...if possible...if you don't have FSUIPC installed use your joystick software...

Sorry...best I can do... frown
