Zibo 737 pitch and roll limited

This weekend I was having problems with the pitch and roll controls of my Zibo while parked at the gate. Both my Linux and Windows XP11 installations seemed to be suffering from this and I had no idea on how to fix it. I have even compared files between the working beta installation and my stable XP 11.41 installation, going for the ‘difficult’ approach. The strange thing is that my SSG 747 was working fine and that copying the Zibo installation from a working beta install didn’t fix it.

In the end I was able to fix it by following the advice on the X-Plane site, which explains on how to delete the preferences files and have them re-created upon next startup of XP11.

Edit: the problem acted up again! So I investigated further and I found this post on the .org forums: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/179465-yoke-and-rudder-deflection-on-zibo-mod-release-333h/

The problem was that the none of the hydraulic pumps were running, which causes the pitch and roll deflection to be limited to 35% or 0.35. That’s realism for you 😅
