The 79th FS fly the P47D-40 regularly I I have not had or heard of any issues such as this... Just for S&G try unplugging you stick and replug it into a different USB port. Maybe a connection or spiking issue of the joystick??
Krusty, I agree lot of flight models seems different since the release but wondering if it was a move on purpose to enhance the realism of the flight model, or based on the info from the 2.18 0 release, had something caused to the P47s in particular.
