I've just had a go in the C172. I did not use any strange trim setting to keep it flying

I'll add other results later.

Just wondering. Do you belong to the beta testing group in FSX Steam? I do and wonder if that is causing the problem as there are updates quite often on the Steam platform.

Keep smiling

No, I'm not a beta tester. What about the other guys with this problem??
Good question, that could be the problem.

B377 is also OK.
Maybe it would be a good idea to get rid of the FSX SE updates??

I launched the FSX on Steam Edition, aircraft selected was A2A B377, and clicked on the box says “Fly Now!”.
This caught my eye from one of Andrewhb17 posts which could be, or could not be part of the problem:
Starting the sim using a complex, add-on aircraft instead of a default FSX aircraft can lead to strange behavior with the add-on aircraft. Try setting up a saved, start up scenario using, for instance, the stock FSX Cessna 172 at a native FSX airport like Friday Harbor.
It may, or may not solve this problem, but it can prevent problems in the future!

I always start my A2A aircraft with the trike then switch to what I am going to fly. When I get the time I will try to backdate the updates to see if that solves the problem. Not very computer literate so this may take some time.

My FSX loads with the default cold and dark C172. I then just load my saved flight with my A2A aircraft. I’ve never had any problems.

I was thinking the same thing. Yes, I was running on the beta version of FSX on steam edition before, then I changed back to normal version. Also, does non-beta version of FSX on steam edition will resolve the problem? Anyway, I will try it now, many thanks, Lewis! :)

Yes give it a go to double check you are not on the beta.

I tried using normal version of FSX on steam edition and double checked to make sure the beta is off. Once I use the B377 for last attempt, finally now it fixed! I can finally fly the Stratocruiser and peace without having deflection problem! Again, thank you very much for your help! :D

Awesome! You guys really had be stumped on this one what with the 377 being the first Accu-sim release from way back when I just couldnt figure out what would be causing this from a technical pov. Hopefully this will get Abstract up and flying too 8)

Yes, after I joined the beta on FSX Steam it started happening. Just flew the 172 and it's now unflyable.

Recommend changing version from Beta to normal on FSX steam edition, so you won’t had a problem flying with the C172, especially the B377. Hopes this helps for you. :)
