xwindy777

I'm still beside myself that nobody has come out with a decent blimp simulator!!

I couldn't agree with that statement more! Nicely worded.

I use the X-55 and it works pretty ok. I seem to be having some issues with "phantom presses" coming from the throttle unit which I support has not been able to rectify just yet but I'm hopeful…. It doesn't seem like all users are having this issue though so it should't deter anyone from purchasing this unit. I like it a lot! As the old saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I used an old cyborg flight stick for the longest time.

........a total and complete magical solution to OOM's!

Google earth doesn't do this road justice. I think a youtube video is in order. So if you could just go ahead and upload a video of someone else that is not you, driving a similar, but not the exact same Genesis, that would be greeeaaaattt mmmkay.

When I'm taking off/landing/taxing with the 777 and I'm at and airport that I purchased as an add on, those two things combined are a little taxing on my system. One thing I do to overcome this is use switch to the 2d panel viewpoint and then us F5, F8, and F9 to bring up the panels that I'll need for those phases of flight. It's not a "classic" 2d panel per se, and it does become slightly less immersive but it works for me. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like there will be a true 2d panel coming out for this product. This is totally off topic but what kind of car did you by?

Wouldn't that be brilliant if it was released tomorrow, but somehow blocked for purchase for a week to the people that have been overly vocal/critical of the amount of time it has taken? Now that would be funny :lol: ……or maybe a note from RSR saying "Hey folks! We planned on releasing this product to you tonight but there were a few things that I couldn't finish up because I had to cut my day short so I could write this update since you all demanded it. Anyway, we're going to release this tomorrow now! Have a great night everyone." (Disclaimer: Satire)

Is that a swingline you've got there? How many times has your desk been moved this month?

Great commentary. It likely describes the sense that most of us will have when we get our hands on it.

Nicely done!

I didn't know there was an age requirement to be a fan of Guns n' Roses……. So basically what you should have compared the FS release in question to was G n R's release of Chinese Democracy. The point is, most artists (except of course for Guns n' Roses) do work with deadlines.

Actually thats not how it works at all. Record labels give deadlines, recording contracts stipulate "x" amount of albums to be released in a given time, studio times get booked for a certain period of time, etc. You may want to work on your metaphors as well……...

So what you're saying is that as soon as I get my hands on this thing I should immediately load up some very detailed, high end add-on JFK scenery, set everything to high detail, extremely dense, etc, and taxi around using these cameras and then immediately post on here complaining that I'm getting brutal fps……. disclaimer: I'm kidding

Do you have any insight on how thats actually being accomplished? Like is the entire external model being loaded when you're using that feature?

That sounds a little taxing on the system but, for the amount of time that would likely be spent using it, I'm sure everyone will manage. Thats a pretty cool feature.
