No Pitch Axis
No pitch axis for the F-4E ADV. Works fine with all other aircraft including the T-38A ADV. I just updated to Prepar3D 4.1, did a clean install with the antivirus off and installed all products as administrator. installed all updates too.

Re: No Pitch Axis
Answered my own question. On the first install, I installed in this order, F-4E\TACPAK\F-4E ADV, the opened the MVAMS and let it step through the updates and installation before I tried to fly it. This time after doing a complete uninstall I installed each module, tested it, then downloaded and installed the update before installing the next module, testing each install before moving on. Success! The Phantom lives!
I just want to fly.

Re: No Pitch Axis
You need to check if your P3D control input method is RawInput. It needs to be DirectInput.

Re: No Pitch Axis
Okay, does this apply to all Milviz products and controllers? Why do FSX and Prepar3D default to RAW input?

Re: No Pitch Axis
Yes to all products. But it only applies to P3D v3 and 4.

Re: No Pitch Axis
Just to verify, do you know where to change it in P3D v4?

The "Other" menu listed under Controls in P3D options.

Re: No Pitch Axis
I have set the Direct axis, but it is still all over the place on takeoff, there seems to be no input for elevator trim.
getting a bit agitated with it now, can some one please in clear terms give me the info to set this up?
all I want is a stable flight as I get with all my other aircraft.

Re: No Pitch Axis
Elevator trim is assigned in the AMS.

Re: No Pitch Axis
I can see in the MVAMS Controls section Pitch nose up and pitch nose down is this it ? I have inserted key U for Up and D for down
ans saved it , but no change in sim. although I usually use a slider on my throttle joystick for this I can not input that in
th MVAMS.

Re: No Pitch Axis
Odd...What happens if you use a joystick button instead of a keyboard key?

Re: No Pitch Axis
If you remove the trim axis from your P3D controls, does that get it working again?
