What a beautiful airplane. Many thanks. One question. Is there any way to get a VC panel installed in the FS9 version? Thanks again, Ed

HelloThis may be more of a hardware question, but here goes. Is there anyway to get two headsets, plugged into something like a "Y" so both can listen to FS? What I want to do, is sit in front on my computer and fly FS9, SB and have another person (with an additional headset) be able to sit beside me and listen in?ThanksEd

The best is to have Trackir and Triple Head to Go. Use Trackir on the ground, primary for taxi. Triple head to go when in the air. You don't need three full size wide screen monitors. I have a wide screen in the middle and two (one each side of the middle) smaller monitors that I purchased off ebay. IMHO, perfect setup.Regards,Ed

I'll add my thanks as well. A request for Tim to consider. Can you post, on your site, which build equals which SP is installed? If it's there already, I couldn't find it.ThanksEd

Getting back to the original post, yes I think there were two major achievements for Flight Simulator. One was the first GPS and the second was voice capability for on line controlling (VATSIM). When I saw (and got to use) both, it was a new world for serious flight simulator.Regards,Ed

I was wondering if anyone else out there are hardcore IFR simmers. Well, you can count me in.Firstly, how do you manage your weather? I've given up on ActiveSky. It just doesn't work for me. 90% of the time the destination weather is wrong. Instead of 2600' ovc at KGEG I'd get broken at 10k' with 30mi visibility. I use VATSIM and Squawkbox all the time. With REX there's no way to set custom weather. (As far as I can tell) So I've given up on 3rd party weather engines. I checked the box for using REX to upload to VATSIM.How do you set up an effective IFR/IMC situation for your favorite destinations? Any tips or tricks?I use what there is RW today. Real pilots do not enjoy flying in thunder storms, doing min approaches or circle night approaches. Your skill would be to know when to divert to your filed alternate and hopefully you have enough fuel to meet FAA requirements.Do people fly minimums? And what level of instrumentation do you use? If I have to I will fly a min approach. My setup has most of what I need. I do exactly what I did in RW flying (gear down one dot above GS, etc).I used to fly a single prop with dual DME and ILS. That has to be the most challenging. Charles Gulick was actually the one that got me started on that back in the mid 80's. Knowing what radials needed for waypoints, etc... made for great simming. I fly all jets, mostly military.I have some nice single prop's that I purchased a few years ago. The 172 and a Piper. One day I decided to fly from KOLM to KPAE ILS 16L. Since it had a procedure turn I thought it should be a pretty good flight. I can tell you that it didn't go as smoothly as I had expected. When I begin to rely on GPS/RNAV, etc... I seem to lose the touch of shooting ILS manually. Practice, practice. Go on VATSIM and tell the controller you want to do missed approches with published holds. Do several of them and you will find that they get easier over time.Anyway, I'm eagar to hear from other simmers out there about how you do it. There you have it!Good luckEd

Yes, this is it. Many thanksEd

Hello and Thanks in AdvanceJust upgraded and I was looking for a FS9 Forum Post on Config tweeks. It was about 3 or 4 months ago. I applied all the tweeks but there was some confusion about something concerning Terrain bandwith or texture size or something like that. Can someone give me a link to these tweeks that were posted? I just want to review them once again.My thanks to the person who did these tweeks. They were an improvement over the original FS9 Config file.Regards,Ed

Great news!Get it working with TrackIR and I will re-buy it from Flight1.ThanksEd

HelloIf you have XP as an operating system and you buy a Creative Soundblaster with a gameport (see Ebay or go to the Creative site) you can get your old set-up to work. If you have Vista and a Creative Soundblaster with a gameport included, you can get it to work by using a driver by Danial K (google). If you have Windows 7 you are (so far) out of luck. I am trying to get my 15 pin set-up working in W7 using Danial K's driver but so far no luck. I have not tried a 15 pin adaptor, but might go that way as a last resort. It is a hit and miss thing with these adaptors. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. If you go that way you might want to check out:http://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-Usb-Game-P...r/dp/B0009PXKZ8I would be interested to know how you make out. Please post.Regards,Ed

Fixed!Cleaned the disk.Regards,Ed

Yes, tried that and still won't load. Maybe, it is a bad disk? Will try and load it on another computer.Regards and thanksEd

HelloUpgraded to W7. Installed FSX and FS9 on "c" drive. So far so good. Tried to install Acceleration to FSX and nothing happens. No auto-install, nothing! Removed FS9 and tried again. Nothing! All drives are OK and the DVD drive new and installs everything else (MS Word, etc). UAC off.Any thoughts?Regards,Ed

HelloI had both but returned Ezdok back to Flight1. I would be glad to buy it again if they can get the two to work together. To me, there was a high learning curve which I just didn't have the time for. I think Ezdok is a good program for those who do not have TrackIR or those who want a top notch pan view around both the inside and outside of the plane. It would be great as a advertising tool to really show off your product. As a pilot, I find that TrackIR is a must. No buttons to push and all I have to do is turn (or adjust my head) to get the same views as Ezdok.Again, if they can get the two to work together, my money is waiting.Regards,Ed
