Josh I have yes joystick!
But I am afraid is currently broken. It causes my planes to bank on level flight. (I discovered this testing some bomber's plane -- not a ==bomber==)

In the meantime I had to maneuver mice-alone.

Israel, that is the Extreme 3D joystick? It'S probably one of the springs, did you try dead-band?

yes, it is.
I don't know what a "dead-band" is or how I try that for my Jstick.

Okay, remind me to make a new dead-band for my own (I have the same problem, but I compensate already automatically for it and I have accidentally over-written my dead-banded definition when I re-installed). But I come around to play with FG this week, then I make a new one and send it to you too.

USE THE dead-band

It is much more lovely to fly.

I was too low of fuel about 2 h before arrival so I slided the controls up a bit. It caused a malfunction in the wing anti-ice system and almost made me fall into the deep=blue.

Well, I dunno ho much fuel did you loaded up before take off but remember that the MTOW data is based on the real plane which has CFM-2 engines with 22k lbf thrust, ours has 27k lbf, so there are no problems overloading it at all (already done plenty of tests). It requires some skill of course in the first part of the flight, but then you should be ok.
Well, obviously this flight was enormous and if you had to cheat in the end, then we know that this planes has some limits after all ;) .
