August 16, 20205 yr Aah kids!, let them get on with it. They're having fun. I've done the sensible thing - I've just loaded Win 10 - and it didn't catch fire - on to my flight sim machine in preparation for downloading the new MSFS . I'll load up the new sim but still be able to swap out that SSD for my old Win 7 Pro with FSX/ P3D SSD. Really, there's no need for expectation. There's no need to ditch anything you already have. As friend Hook said, quite rightly earlier; "It's all good." Edited August 16, 20205 yr by Will Fly For Cheese

I'll stick to me old Saiteks and Thrustmaster. Stick And Rag as we call it in the skint flying community.
August 16, 20205 yr When I look at threads like this, these Influencers seem to be having a greater influence on you serious simmers than people would want to admit. 😁

Stick And Rag as we call it in the skint flying community. I sent a Honeywell yoke back. I just never could get the darn thing to configure properly. I ordered it because my Saitek yoke has a 4º "dead zone" when turning to starboard, which makes precision movements awkward. So, I'm back to using my 'ancient' CH-Pro yoke and CH-Pro pedals. <sigh> I'm fairly confident that MS didn't pay retail price for the kit they sent out. In fact, it is likely that the manufacturers provide them gratis, but still that's a HUGE amount of "swag" distributed!!! Fr.

I suspect she actually was pretending to be a complete noob though... 😳 Yeah what... these random gamers get free Honeycomb Yokes and Thrustmaster Rudder Pedals and don’t even know what they do? Hurts to see a bit 😞 I understand that they’re influencers and will help sell the product, but that just seems excessive..
