    This is probably something you've tried, but try calibrating your joystick just to make sure that's not the cause of the problem...

    Is it all aircraft or just one?

    Sounds more like your trim control is set full back. The Autopilot is probably trying to get the plane to your selected altitude even though you havent taken off yet so its trimmed the plane to climb as much as possible. Leave the autopilot turned off (you can still program it and get it ready just dont activate it until you're passing say 1000ft) and see does that help.

    You can manually adjust trim using the 1 and 7 numpad keys. Each plane will have a trim guage to show what setting its at. It should be set to around the middle for most aircraft for takeoff. On the 737 the trim wheel is to the right of the captains right leg, beside the radios. On a cessna its down the botton of the centre panel.
