Greetings Andy: If you have a joystick or yoke connected to your computer, the FS series has defaulted to using the "elevator" axis for controlling forward/back in slew mode. Try using that or just disable it (Options:Controls:Disable Joystick -- CTRL + k or j if I recall correctly) when you slew. Hope this helps!

"RE:FS2K2 Slew Mode." 03-07-02, 10:16z  Hi Ben, I have a similar problem, except in my case the slew speed is a little faster than the aircraft's normal cruise speed. Using the elevator axis as you suggest makes no difference. I'd be interested in a solution too, if anyone has one. Regards....John Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

andor Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 6. "RE:FS2K2 Slew Mode." 03-12-02, 23:38z  Thx guys for the suggestions , have tried them out with erratic results, ie hold down Num 8 and suddenly doing 3000+ knots, or 2knots apparently at will. Ah- Well back to the old "Drag and Drop" in Map view, at least can see where one,s going Regards Andyc Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Must read the instructions more often! I tend to use FSNav for that sort of rapid change of location but map view D&D has its advantages.

Emile Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE:FS2K2 Slew Mode." 03-12-02, 07:55z  Hi Guys, What is exactly the "slew mode", I did not find any explanation in the FS2K2 Help. Thanks in advance Emile EBBR Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Slew mode is a way to move the aircraft to another position and attitude without actually flying there. It works more like a repositioning rather than a teleportation. Try it out. To toggle to slew mode, press the Y key. Hope this helps!

jimjones Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: FS2K2 Slew Mode." 03-07-02, 10:30z  I have the same problem with a joystick. But I overcome this by using the keypad up and down arrows with the numlock off. Works like a charm. You must hold those arrow keys down for a while b/4 you pick up speed. The joystick can stay attached, but the null may have to be adjusted larger so the joystick does not interfere. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
