Hi. I've been flying the WoP Spitfire for a while now, but have ony recently began to encounter this problem. What happens is, at the moment, I'm flying from TSTC Waco to Center Municipal Airport. Everything works fine, until I get to around 30NM of the destination airport. All of a sudden, my elevators and ailerons aren't deflecting, even though the virtual in-cockpit stick is fully deflected. I try to climb, dive, and bank, but no results. Only the rudder and throttle work. The vitrual stick moves, but the outside controls don't. I fly with a Saitek ST290 Pro joystick, and the calibration says it's working fine. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening? Thanks.

Sounds like autopilots engaged but I didnt think the A2A (WoP) Spit had one.
If it happens again try pressing Z on the keyboard to disengage autopilot and see if you regain control.

That was it, Mark. I would hit Control-Z, instead of Shift-Z to check framerates, and didn't realize I had turned on the autopilot. Thanks for the help!
