That was it. I was also mislead by seeing
<dynamic-view type="bool">true</dynamic-view>
In $FG_ROOT/preferences.xml, without noticing
<dynamic>
<enabled type="bool" userarchive="y">false</enabled>
</dynamic>
just below it. I have no problem with having it as a feature -- it's
a neat and original idea -- but it might be worth reconsidering the
up/down movement. While pulling back on the yoke/stick may make a jet
fighter shoot upwards, with a regular plane it's just as likely
intended to slow the plane down. One of the first points made in the
classic book "Stick and Rudder" (worth reading for any real or sim
pilot) is that the yoke/stick is *not* an up/down control.
All the best,
David
