Sounds like you need to adjust the scaling.



Try something like that on the Pitch axis for starters.

If its a twisty stick add some deadband on rudder axis.

You need to use rudder to compensate for engine torque.  The P38 has two engines with counter-rotating props, so does not have this torque problem.

To get off the ground easier without rudder, you can use the auto-takeoff feature.  Select it from the Flight Preferences in the Clipboard.

Does it stay in auto-pilot or does it keep jumping out?

If it won't stay in auto-pilot make sure you have calibrated your joystick in both windows and in game.

If you're jumping and jerking all over when trying to make small corrections, try increasing the dead band.

ya i was jumping all over the place every time i tried to make a small adjustment but i did the set up that Ghosth  posted and so far i have not had that issue, as far as auto take off i forget which button that was.
