Hi KimNice to know that at Birkeroed you are not so far from here (Snekkersten)- and good news about Vaerloese and the new version of the Copenhagen Scenery. No, I'm not using the default EKVL, I have a rather old FS2002 version by Jan Rasmussen, which works OK in FS9, although I needed an exclude line to remove a duplicate control tower that comes, I think, from the Copenhagen scenery.Will your new EKVL, and indeed the new Copenhagen scenery itself, be compatible with DanVFR? I am currently using CphCty30pre2005-09-11.Regards

HiThe new VC with clickable controls is great. But it would be nice to have the same facility in, say, the Danish Airforce variant which I fly from Vaerloese (I live in Denmark for much of the year) I thought that just changing the panel.cfg files might do the job, but it doesn't, so I guess my simple-minded approach is not on. Is there anything WE can do or does it depend upon more extensive programming on your part, which of course you may not be ready to do at this stage? Whatever the answer, I think the whole package is marvellous!Regards

Hi PatThanks for your lead to RCsimulations and the Simped f16. I talked with Bob and have now ordered the F16's. So far as is possible in assessing hardware like this at a distance, I believe they have features that bring them nearer to reality than the CH. We shall see. The only problem apparently is delivery - may have to wait a bit.Anyway, thanks Pat, and also all who have replied to my original query. When I eventually get them maybe I should post a brief review.Good flyingKeith

Hi DennyThank you for your comments; I think what you say is very sensible, and because the CH pedals seem to be good value for money I suppose in the end I am likely to go that route. Nevertheless I still wonder whether there is a significant performance improvement by the more expensive ones compared with CH.Second home in Denmark ... yes, well, my wife is Danish, you see, so we like to spend a bit of time there in the summer; but much as I would like to report back to y'all on the upmarket items, there is a sort of energy barrier for that sort of expenditure, if it's for only a marginal improvement!Happy flyingKeithGW

I wonder if anyone can give me a little help with the choice of rudder pedals for FS9. I have recently bought the excellent Ch Products USB version and it has transformed the whole business of simulator flying. Yet in the course of lessons in real world flying (microlight Thruster Sprint) it became apparent that the CH pedals offer rather too little resistance to movement - seem to need rather heavier damping. In all other respects, notably the amount of full travel, they really seem to be on the ball. My question therefore is this: since I have a replica setup in my second home in Denmark and not yet kitted it out with pedals, I have an opportunity to try an alternative. For example, the GF-RC Flight Deck version from Go Flight. These purport to have hydraulic damping, and certainly look like the real thing. I know that they, and others like PFC Cirrus and Flight Link are much more expensive, but do you get what you pay for?I would welcome other peoples views and experience. Is it to be CH as here in UK, or hang the expense and go for one of the others?KeithGW
