No control surfaces working
-
Hi all where is the hyd switch located since when i go out side and move joystick nothing moves, was wondering when i took off the airplane nosed up and did a sharp right hand turn into the ground. Looked every where ai said it was on the overhead panel look overhead but nothing on the overhead panel?

Just checking, did you intend to post this in the Dukes subforum? The control surfaces are purely mechanical and there are no hydraulic switches (nor any hydraulics). There is a bright red control lock that locks the yoke from moving and another that locks the throttle.

Any chance you could record a quick video from inside the cockpit as well as an exterior view? Once the control lock is removed the flight control surfaces will move freely and the Duke uses all the usual controller bindings as any other aircraft so I’m not sure what would be causing them to not move without being able to see what’s happening. Are you loading in cold and dark or ready for takeoff?
Also just a thought, do any failures appear as active on the tablet in the failure section?

If you still have issues with the Duke controls after trying again, you may want to try submitting a support ticket with Just Flight here and also check how your controller bindings are configured.

ok think i found my problem, i noticed on take off my trim wheel goes to about 30 degrees nose up if i bring it back to about 0 than as soon as i bring the power on the trim goes back to 30 nose up so i have to hold the trim to zero whilst taking off once in the air i manage to make a flight

Sounds like something is bound to the elevator trim and sending a continuous command, or maybe there’s some sort of assistance setting enabled that’s trying to auto trim (and doing a really bad job).
