May be a controller issue.

Must be. Ugh.
Every time I go full back stick it acts like some gremlin is down there stomping on the rudder pedal.
300kts - full back to pull out - instant flat spin.

Going to try and uninstall the game and all joystick drivers and see if that fixes anything.

Thanks for all the other useless trolling from everyone else.

More info would help us, help you. What stick setup are you using? Hiw old is it? Do you use a powered USB hub in conjunction?

There we go. To me that reads like some spiking in the twist axis (rudder), if your joystick has such a thing.
I suggest you go to map controller and check the rudder axis data while pulling back the stick quickly.

Remember kids: An airplane can stall at any speed.

LOLOL...What a save! Ridiculous that people are driving that fast in those conditions, let alone switching lanes at those speeds.

It's normal to stall with full back stick. It's not torque, you're exceeding your lift limit.

I'm curious what aircraft you are flying.

Well I know the low altitude snap roll.

Tried it in several different planes with same results.

I understand about power on stalls. But this changed recently in how the planes are behaving for me. just noticed it doing it.
It's really strange. No buffet, just an abrupt drop of the left wing and wham I'm in a flat spin as fast as you can blink.

I re-calibrated the controls and checked all axis readings on the Controller Mapping pages and everything looks correct.

I have noticed though that no matter how many times I recalibrate there is always a drift up and to the left without the auto-pilot on. Kind of like the trim controls are screwed up in the code somewhere or something. But game plays and runs fine.

Might be a bad stick. Going to try and uninstall and reinstall the game and all drivers and see what that does.

I would check the stick before you to through all that trouble. It is far easier to test the stick than it is to reinstall everything. Odds ate also pretty good it is NOT a software issue either.

I'm sure he'll find his stick is going to full on for each axis with only about 40% movement.

pulling the stick at max angle WILL make your plane stall. And pretty badly too.

Did you just turn off the stall limiter?
