Strong nose-up elevator force at idle with Caravan starter preset

I’m using the MSFS 2024 default Cessna 208B Caravan with a MOZA AB6 and the FFB-Bridge Caravan starter preset.

With elevator trim correctly set in the TAKEOFF range, engine at idle and aircraft stationary, releasing the yoke causes it to pull strongly aft and the elevator rises considerably. I have to push the yoke hard forward just to hold the elevator approximately neutral..

Actually i thired to move the trim all the range and the elevator still rised.

Using a MOZA’s native Caravan profile under the same conditions, the released elevator remains reasonably close to neutral, as you can see in the pictures, so this appears to come from the FFB-Bridge preset rather than the aircraft itself.

Which profile values could cause this behaviour? I’m particularly wondering about trim-centre displacement, elevator trim force, propwash scaling, or aerodynamic forces being applied too strongly at nearly zero airspeed.

Has anyone encountered this, or can suggest which parameters I should adjust first?

propwash scaling

It's this. It's a bug in the profile code, in the way it detects a slipstream for propwash. It is incorrectly reading propwash even when there's none.

Tuning → the Propwash pitch slider → 0 should fix it. I'll push an update in the next release to fix the root cause.
