Are you using a saitek X52 joystick?  If so, I get this problem a lot.  You have to open the control panel for the stick and readjust it by holding the crosshair in the middle and unplugging the wire then plugging it back in while the stick is in the center.  Don't know why this happens but it does.

I landed kills in a 39 tonite.  Clearly something is wrong with the modeling!

Come to think of it, the P-39D is also not really userfriendly either.

I fly the P-39s frequently. I didn't notice any changes when I last flew it (P-39Q a few days ago). Landed 5 kills defending a base. Got into a 1v1 with a C.205, which never had a chance against the Q-ship, Co-E, Co-Alt.

Not much of a vulch,run,vulch,run plane?
Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.

Well, it might be good at that, I don't really know. All I know is that I flipped. While searching for enemy tanks.

Sounds like you need to hire a new plane captain and pre-flight crew.
