This is a wierd one.
Last night, I tried to send a text message that resulted in a string of kkkkkkkkk. It was like the keyboard was stuck. At about the same time, I noticed a tendency for my elevator trim to be wacky - either down or up. I would have to go on autopilot to correct, then come off to CT. Then just a few minutes ago, I tried loging on. The player ID started scrolling kkkkkkkkk again!
Pretty strange. I have no idea if the two are related, and sure don't know what to do about it. And to add to it, I can't get the padlock to kick in either. I may just be doing that wrong, but the other problems are of unkown origin.
Anyone else seen this or have any idea how to correct the problem??
Thanks,

Probably a stupid observation but.....
Have you checked your Keyboard hasn't just gone loopy, (Pick it up shake it upside down clean dope stash away thats just fallen out etc).
Like I said probably a stupid suggestion but..

LOL - not stupid at all Snafu!
But its not the problem either unfortunately. Wish it was. Strangest thing I've seen in sim yet. I may uninstall and reinstall, as big a pain as it is (to reset all views). But I'm desperate... I can't get in to fly as it is!!
Thanks for the response!

I've had that problem on 2 occasions. I've been flying and then my keyboard starts acting funny. Constant key presses..keys doing completely different things (hit shift and it enters).
It's a rare problem for me but may be similar or maybe not to your problem. In the past I've simply rebooted and let win98 start back up after a hard boot. The keyboard then "reintialized" and all was ok.

Well, Wingnut, at least I'm not the only one that's seen something like this.
I've tried a hard reboot, and tried the shift while this kkkkkkkkkk thing is happening in the game ID when trying to log-in. I can change the case of the kkkkkk to KKKKKK, but can't stop it. It just scrolls for a while and kicks me back to desktop.
I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Same things happening. Not a happy camper on this end.
Thanks for the suggestion in any event!

Have you checked your HOTAS programming? I have that on occasion when one of my trims on the X36 throttle rotor wheel is not centered in the neutral position.

I jumped on here to post that I'd found the problem, and saw your post Eagler. You were right on the money - it was the number one rotary (programmed for elevator trim). Should have put the kkkkkk and the bizarre elevator jumps together sooner.
I appreciate your help fellas!

WTG Tbone. Glad I could help. BTW - I have the rotors broke into three zone's so I have a dead zone in the middle of each to use to center the control with zero input. The new combat trim light helps me to remember to check them when I come out of auto pilot.

Yep, have a deadzone inbetween inputs on both rotaries too.
Again, thanks for the suggestions!
