GPL Joystick problem

I'm currently using a Suncom F-15 Talon joystick with GPL and find that it not only tends to drift right, but that when I apply slight leftward pressure it ever so slightly jumps right before turning left. This has made GPL almost impossible to play. Steering linearity is set to non-linear. Has this happened to anyone else, or is my joystick screwy? I've used it in ICR2 and Flight Unlimited 2 without similar problems. This joystick has no trim adjustment wheel.

That sounds like your pots (potentiometers) are on the way out... These are the little "sensors" that detect the wheel / pedal / stick movement... You probably need to replace them..... BUT.. I don't know how to sorry.. call TM or email them. find out... James
