    Hi Olderndirt....saw a post about your X52....

    I recently dusted off mine and connected it

    up to my sims...with P3D, it works perfectly...

    With XP, I have it hooked up and configured...

    with GA Planes, they all pull to the left hard

    on takeoff and then lean left in flight....all my helicopters

    spin (usually left) and I can get only one to fly

    reasonably....

     

    I am flying XP 11.41 on a Windows 10 gaming computer

    with plenty of power....XP recognizes the X52 and it can

    be setup and calibrated...I've tried a "plugin" for XP, but

    not sure it does much...at first installed a program/driver

    from Logitech/Saitek... it may have gotten the X52 recognized

    by XP, but not sure what else it's good for...

    If you ar no longer using your X52, what are you using and do 

    you recommend it?...

    Any help or thoughts appreciated...

    Thanks, John H.

      Hi Older...let's hold off on a reply...I 

      installed a "spacer" under the main 

      joystick and reinstalled the Saitek 

      driver program and all seems much better, 

      if not pretty darn good...

      Thanks for your willingness to help...

      Cheers, John H

      John - there's a mod out in Google land for doubling the capcacity of your magnets in the joystick base - fairly simple.  I too have a 'spacer' under the joystick spring - compresses it enough to make it feel more real.

    I have pause on my x52 stick, mostly for screenshots - use in the cockpit seems to depend on the aircraft, some things are clickable on some models but not all.

    Hadn't viewed the IPACS forum for several months and it seems while movement is still a cautious advance, still no decent in game camera? Even Laminar has a usable one. Little items like this which seem so off the scope with IPACS keep me from ever wanting to use it.

    Nice fix Steve, thanks.

    Bill has a Trinidad update (man. press./fuel flow gauge) on the Lionheart site, Trinidad page.
  7. olderndirt
    I've been informed that a 'manifold pressure' gauge will be part of a forthcoming update.
  8. olderndirt
    The VC is as advertised except for nothing indicating manifold pressure. The FS2004 version had the correct gauge. The closeup clarity is excellent and it all works and no, this is for FSX/FSX Steam/the various P3D's.

    Another Trinidad purchaser, in spite of Bill's disclaimer about DX10. He was correct. Switching to DX9 eliminates the glass distortion but, in a screenshot, the jaggies are impressive. This was an FS9 model but Bill says it's a complete rebuild. Interestingly, none of his FSX original planes have a problem with DX10. Completely OT but has anyone found a 'manifold pressure' gauge?

    Intrigued by your avatar. I too was class of '81 - Anchorage Tracon.

    You and I are on the same page - owned four aircraft over the years so I'm fairly caught up on the nuts and bolts stuff and, with over 6000 hours flying them and others, my airmanship is fairly good. Those of you who enjoy all these "extras" in the package should enjoy them but a few of us would prefer them a little 'leaner'.
  12. olderndirt
    Saw the video and bought the plane. Would have much preferred a version without the 'Accusim' - strictly a marketing tool but cleverly done. For those of us with a bit of A&P and/or CFI the word 'superflous' comes to mind.

    Looks like the problem wasn't with the Orbx forum. Holger Sandman posted that clicking Ctrl+F5 while on the forum will reset it and you're back in business. Worked for me.
  14. olderndirt
    I saw you were back on - still no joy for me though.
  15. olderndirt
    Both J.K. and N. Cooper have acknowledged the problem - working on it - still exists.

    Got the same problem, since yesterday. Unable to post, reply, quote etc - can still PM members and, according to my profile, am not in 'bad boy' status.
