Well I think I can accept that as correct then. :-)
What this suggests to me is that adjusting the trim
before take off is correct, but that if it is adjusted
far enough that the aircraft holds the centre line on
takeoff with no input from the pilot, then it has been
adjusted too far.
Of course, without my joystick problems maybe I
wouldn't need to adjust the standard trim at all. I
still don't understand why FlightGear is having a
problem with this joystick when no other application
seems to. I tried the Linux demo of X-Plane over the
weekend, and the joystick worked fine then. This
doesn't make sense to me as both applications should
be receiving the same data from the stick.
