I am running 747IPC under Windows XP. When the sym starts it appears to have forgotten the joystick settings and the plane goes out of control. Calibrating the joystick and re-starting the situation corrects this, but next time PS1 starts these settings are forgotten.
Any suggestions?
The set-up crashes quite a lot too. Everything works fine for a few minutes then fails. Seems to be related to the sound.

Under the assumption you did all the procedures to calibrate the joystick correctly, I'll explain what I'm doing.
When I start PS1, all the main flight control surfaces are "stuck" at the end of their movement position. What I need to do is to move the joystick a little bit in all 3 axes and all the surfaces are moving to the neutral (center) position and there are no problems anymore (until the next start up). I don't need to re calibrate the joystick every time and I have a feeling that you too don't need to do it.
Just try to move the joystick very quickly in all 3 axes and check if it solves your problems.

This also adds to realism as you would likely be checking the control surfaces during preflight anyways.
