Hi, Robinking,

A few suggestions:

1) Make sure your joystick is actually moving the control surfaces -- look from outside or check the flight controls page.  Sometimes the aircraft loads with switches that affect hydraulics to the controls set to "off."  These switches are located high up on the overhead panel.  They must be switched on.  Check that all the controls move: elevator, ailerons, rudder.

2) Check your elevator trim.  If it's below around 6 or so (depending on weight and weigh distribution) you may not have enough elevator effect, even with full back pressure on the joystick, to rotate the aircraft.  

3) Looking at your screen shot, it looks like you may not have any flaps set.  You need at least flaps 5.

Hope this helps!

Mike

So the elevators are moving but the plane won't rotate?

What is your elevator trim setting?

In your screen shot it looks like there is no power applied to the elevators, as they are hanging down.

You need to check your overhead panel:

If you see orange lights in the upper left-hand corner, as in the above picture, you need to flip those switches on.

Also, check the controls by pressing the FCTL button over to the right of the autopilot.  This will display your flight controls on a main screen.  If they are not on, the screen will look like this:

After you have switched all of the switches on the overhead panel on, it will look like this (no orange lights):

I'm not sure if this will work, but try loading the default Cessna172 first.  This issue has been discussed elsewhere in the Captain Sim forums but I don't recall if there is some other solution.
