It will not take off, just goes faster and faster right to the end of the runway, no annimation of elevator movement or stick going forward or aft. The takeoff trim light does work but no amount off trim is enough to take off.

What happens if you press the autopilot master toggle key command (Z I think)?

No change, attempted that many times. I did get liftoff at 185 knots at Edwards, no change in elevator or stick status when airborne.

Please try using your keyboard to take off. Unplug the joystick entirely beforehand.

Let us know

OK, with stick disconnected the NUM 2 and 8 did get the F-86 stick to move Forward and Aft (just a tiny bit at a time) and the Elevator to move up and down also.

Something is preventing the F-86 from controlling the elevator. Please send me your dll.xml file (located in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX or FSX-SE). You can zip it before uploading it.

Unzip this into your panel folder. It should bring up the green text bar when you give elevator inputs. Please post a screenshot if it does.

Unzipped it in the TPpanel folder. With engine running, no forward or aft stick movement or green anything showing up. I will try it in the non TP folder also.

Same results as above in the non TP panel folder. No movement, no green anything showing up.

You are running FSX Steam correct?

And your stick works with all other aircraft? How about the keyboard?

Have you tried calibrating the stick? (srry if this was already asked)

Yes the control stick never gives me any trouble with the Milviz products (flew the P-38 a while ago), same with PMDG, Carenado, Aerosoft, A2A, Realair, Alebeo, Just Flight (throttle stopped working on their Hawk), Captain Sim, Vertavia, Lotus, and others. I will try the calibration with F-86 running, worked fine with the F-100 yesterday however. Thanks.

Just tried the calibration with the F-86 engine running, no change. Then popped into the Strike Eagle for a joy ride and the stick is perfect.
