Now I am finding that the new one also has a problem. Was working fine last night and not been touched since, however I noticed it was acting oddly on launching and once outside the station I found my ship constantly diving to the right, as if I was pushing forward on the stick with a slight right yaw.
I have to pull back slightly on the stick and twist to the the left slightly to maintain the ship level.
Is this a calibration issue or another faulty Hotas?
Not necessarily. Here are two possibilites:
1 If it happens again:
- press ESC which
should take you to the menu.
- IF: you are taken to your desktop and not the menu THEN: press ALT+TAB to get back into the game. Nine times out of ten this restores control. I've been trying to get this sorted since early beta, but I think it must be a rarity - possibly confined to the T-Flight and not E:D.
- IF: you are taken to the menu and can return to the game THEN: this is probably not the problem.
2 When my T-Flight was new, there was nothing I could do to stop one of the analogue controls acting as if it were digital. This included doing a stick reset with the Mapping and Preset buttons. After a few emails with Thrustmaster, they pointed me to one of their programs that does a thorough reset. This was the cure.
