Wierd area of sky

[billbaxter@sbcg]

I am new to this simulator deal.
When flying around the sky I run into an area that is like a "Black Hole" or a visit and return from another dimension!
The plane instantly turns around and heads down. What's up with this?
Is this a normal part of producing such complicated software?

Straight in front of you 20 feet above the runway? That's weird...

Sounds like you're describing flying directly overhead, as how the head-tracking follows your airplane, but I've never seen this blackhole phenomenon that you're talking about; just a quick disorientation as the view is rotated 180 overhead.

That's exactly what I was thinking about

And here I thought my HEAD was spinning! WHEW! What a relief.

Maybe that's what it is!
I'll check it out.
As I said, I'm new to this simulator stuff.
Also new to forums. I hope I'm doing this correctly.

I've found that the more practice I have with rudder, the longer I can fly the planes straight up without *falling off* into the black hole as you describe it.
It's like balancing a top on the tip of your finger. Try it with a helicopter, it's even more challenging.
