After loading Xplane 10 the program does not respond to my CH product yoke. What do I need to do?

Question

I am a long time user of version 9 and after not using it for a number of months decided to use V10 and reloaded it on to my desktop.  I run Xplane on MacBook Air late 2010 model.  After loading XPlane 10 it opened and recognized the CH yoke during calibration.  However when I went to run mode the aircraft went into an uncontrollable spiral dive and crashed.   Controls were not responding.

Answer 1

It sounds like you may have only completed the initial quick calibration, which probably did not set all the axis properly. Please start the sim and open the settings menu > joystick & equipment. You will probably need to set the drop downs to the correct type. Here are additional instructions with images to help.
