Hi, congrats for the site and the wonders Bill Lyons allowed us to enjoy
However, I have this little big problem. I just can´t steer the Graf. Every single time the ship starts turning around itself, generally to the left except when I unplugged my joystick before launching the sim and tried to manage only with the keyboard. The result was the same, except that, strangely enough, the Graf turned to the right all the time.
No matter how long I apply the rudder, the ship doesn´t seem to react. Only I can visually see that the control surface itself reacts (from external view) and the modeled rudder inside the virtual cockpit turns. That works alright. But the ship just won´t correct the turning or its inertia.
Any ideas?
Oh, and sorry for my English...

Edited:
It seems it was a problem with either my game installation or (probably) my joystick calibration.
Out of curiosity, I tried my other favourite aircraft, the default DC-3 and, for the first time, I could observe the same effect. Not the usual "going to the left" due to propeller turning. I restarted the simulation, checked that the dc3 was working as usual, changed the aircraft to Graf Zeppelin and the rudder was working properly. Also I learned that the sensible thing for rookies like myself is to steer the ship by trimming the surfaces little by little.
All´s well that ends well...
Thanks anyway...
