I strongly recommend changing all the springs out for rubber bands, mine is soo smooth!

 

I´ve heared of that mod but I´m unsure whether I can get that thing done. But i´m certainly thinking of that.

I was pretty much a novice at this stuff, but I was able to succeed. Everything just fits together in its place. If anything now its maybe too light but that can be adjusted with rubber band tightness.

Thought I would introduce myself, I've been bouncing around forums getting info for my new FSX set up for quite a while now. I started with FS 98, still have all the other versions also with the manuals on my shelf. I got into saltwater reef aquariums (my avatar) years ago and put my flying and Flt sim on the back burner, can't have to many expensive hobbies at once!. In 2009 we remodeled and I built myself a sim desk (pic below) set up TH2go and built a nice computer with three monitors. I would fly it once in a while, liked VC in the C172 and B737, worked great, good frame rates, never looked for much else.

 

Last year after my new aquarium was set up and running, it's pretty much automated and the only thing to do was clean and enjoy it, I decided to get back into flight sim, I couldn't believe all the new stuff available. I bought some Satik panels, hooked up a fourth monitor for a panel, found some sites and a manual, forgot what a PIA FSX was but all in all got it going and I really like the new set up. I've done a few flights on Vatsim and spent weeks learning to land on a carrier.

 

Anyway Thanks for the forum and all the time everyone puts in to help answer questions, I would have given up if it wasn't for sites like this, There just isn't anyway to figure out all this stuff on your own!

Doesn't having your computer case up on your desk, make it awfully loud?
