Hi everyone, I have had a couple of issues arise lately, and I'm not sure how to eliminate them. While I am in flight, if I disengage the autopilot, my aircraft starts to do something I can only call bounce. The nose of the aircraft will bounce up and down constantly when the joystick is level. I'm also have a serious problem with my aircraft pitching deep nose down when I disengage the Autopilot. I have calibrated and re-calibrated my joystick I don't know how many times, and nothing seems to take care of any of these issues, and it's really making flight very difficult as you can probably imagine. Any help would be great!

Oh, BTW: I have a Cyborg X joystick.

Thanks!
Bryan Shepherd

Try renaming your old FS.CFG to FS.CFG.OLD and let FS remake the config - and see if that fixes the issue. Is it FSX or FS9?

Okay, I think it may have something to do with the Delta fleet A320 that I downloaded from here. I did the exact same run with the stock A321 and the landing was beautiful. I didn't delete any config files, and didn't recalibrate. I just loaded the same approach flight that I use to practice and changed the aircraft mid-flight and had no problem at all. It bounced a little bit when I disengaged autopilot, but not nearly as bad as when I use the DVA aircraft.
