Jumpy Airplane Unable to Trim

[Kent]

Hello Gentlemen:

I have been playing with FMS for a few weeks now and very much enjoy it, however, I am having difficulty trimming my airplane so that it will fly level. I have tried calibrating it many times but without luck. The plane is "jumpy" and needs constant correcting and controlling. I cannot fly very low or come in for a landing as the plane often seems to loose throttle and nose dive into the ground or "wing over" and crash. I can't seem to get it to fly level or straight no matter what I try. It has nothing to do with my frame rate as it happens even without textures, fog, or smooth textures on. I have a Pentium 233 with 163 MB of ram so its not memory related. I also have Windows ME, and a Futaba Skyport Six radio hooked up through my Parallel port. I have noticed when calibating, if I sit and watch the control levels in the "calibration" screen, they seem to bounce somewhat in a cycular fashion beginning with channel eight and working down to channel one, then back to eight and down again. I really enjoy the program and would be extremely pleased if anyone could offer some suggestions for fixing this annoying little problem.

Kindest Regards;

Kent

I got the same problem with FSM heli sim. The sim is picking signal noises which is very annoying when performing delicate manuevers.

Yes, I have this problem on my PIII 550mz 128m machine as well. Any help would be appreciated

The problem is with the cable and not with the sim (i think).
The cable is not shielded good enough . Or not design good enough. I tried coax cable and it didn't help.
It's not consistent too. Sometimes it’s receiving signals/noises from probably the PC itself and sometimes it's okay.
Actually it helped me to fly my LMH , because on real life I found out that it’s not stable at all. So it’s a good practice.
