Hi guys, I was trying to find if there was a keyboard shortcut to toggle the AVSS from Altitude mode to Ascend/Descent rate mode and back again? I think a quick mouse click will keep switching mode but I would like to assign a key so I can potentially use my VRInsight box. Thanks in advance

Valid opinions, but mine is now gathering dust in a draw since EzDok and a wireless headset. Mine spend most of the time paused when trying to hit button hotspots. I used it on my BAe Hawk and it's nice for circuits, but for heavy tin it's a gonner.

My TIR4 is sat in a drawer gathering dust since I got EZDOK, I found the constant pausing TIR to accurately hit a click spot to be too much hassle. I have several views setup for my 767 and assign a joystick button to each so I can smooth pan around the VC. Yeah TIR is good but not essential and personally I find it annoying - just my view :)

I have to agree with Mike here, my TIR4 is in a drawer since I got the cam software. TIR is very nice but you do find yourself pausing it regularly to facilitate hot spot clicking. Both work together if you have them but I find the effects of the cam software much more realistic and I am not tethered to my PC with the IR LED's anymore - particularly helpful as I have wireless headset now.

Thanks for the plug Bert :( -
FPS at unlimited for me also and works best with all my a/c and scenery.As for external FPS limiters they cause a big problem for me when using dual monitors. If set externally at 30 FPS, this is then divided down for each window I move to the second monitor.A couple of windows on the second monitor and FPS drops to an unusable rate :(

Hi Rich, I second Acronis as Ryan says. Once installed there is an option to create a boot disk for occasions where C: fails and you cannot boot.

An anonymous signature bump even - tut tut.

Does the limiter program need pointing to the fsx.exe and not the fsx.cfg?

Thought I'd add my support! Buy it, especially if you have joystick/throttles... the profile config is essential (example: I use it with Saitek X52 Pro and have set throttle curve so that my throttle preset is correct for taxi power). I also fly (cough, cough) a 767 and FSUIPC allows interfacing other software so I can control cockpit functions from other hardware.

To add an extra element of realism, ez-dok is perfect. Tricky to setup correctly but very versatile if you persevere. It also works with TrackIR - I use both and like the resonance feature of ez-dok when I land.

A quick snapshot of the two networks tonight.

Each to their own, but I personally use IVAO and you can read all their pilot / controller information @ http://www.ivao.co.uk/ for starters try http://www.ivao.co.uk/atc/sop and http://www.ivao.co.uk/atc/docsThe reason, by the way, I use IVAO is that their software integrates better for me and their MTL means I see others online flying their correct livery - just thought I'd say that to stop all the VATSIM vs. IVAO flames....

Ah! I've actually thought of a genuine question! Will we be able to easily use Shockwave 3D lights with the NGX or are your lights even better? I ask as I use the LevelD 767 which has a strange config for it's lighting which can result in hovering landing gear lights and strobes detached from wingtips :(As well as EZDok camera positions and movements, would PMDG be able to provide a suitable aircraft.cfg [LIGHTS] section for Shockwave? -

How many times can you get killed? :(

Thanks Mad Dog, it would be helpful, silly me... however I've found a config util I forgot I had so will try that first before wasting anyones time. Thanks for the reply :)

Hi All, I've spent so long on this issue now that I thought it was worth a punt on the forum. My issue concerns an addon aircraft that has full MCP control and I am trying to interface some hardware. What I really need to know is if there is an Event ID that selects the vertical speed option? I can find ID's for things like AP_HDG_HOLD_ON but nothing for selecting AP_VS although I have found the INC and DEC for the V/S. Also missing is HDGSEL...Am I looking in the wrong place or do these Event ID's not exist? Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers, Squirrel

I am not interested in football in the slightest. Can get back on topic please?

Correct, they even have a James Bond small cinema inside to show the film. The food isn't too bad either although the views are the best thing - not forgetting the cable car ride up there :(
