hiway

I've been looking for a good yoke.

How many inches of travel is there from full forward to full back?

Thank you.

I have been using his Twin Pro for about a year and they have been good. I changed the handles and knobs to ones more to my liking. If you have a question or problem he is very fast to respond and easy to work with.

I would recommend them. - PT

I bought the classic twin pro from this company; I've been using them for about 1 year now without a problem.

I had to change some levers and the knobs to suit myself, but the unit itself is very sturdy and reliable. And if needed, the  customer support is quick and good.   -  Paul

Has anyone bought a system from X Force PC? If so, how was the customer support? The after purchase help, if needed?

Please let me know your opinion of them.

Paul

At least you could tell us what it was!

Thanks for replying. I'll look at that.

Is anyone using VR Insight's M Panel in X Plane? I used it with FS9 but not sure how to set it up in X Plane.

Can anyone help? - Paul

Right now, I just use the hat switch to look around. I also find it useful to have the "trigger" switch to get my view back to front/center. Used to use buttons on top for electric trim, but have trim wheel now. That's about it. - PT

I am currently using this joystick in X Plane running Win 10 and it is plug and play. The computer does go into sleep mode with no problems. Very smooth and glitch free as far as I can tell. - PT

In the mean time I've started flying the Turbolet 410. This aircraft is amazing! Flies well and looks really well done. So, until I can figure out Plane Maker, I'm enjoying flying again.

If you don't have this yet, you should give it a try.  Also looking forward very much to the AirFoillabs King Air 350. - PT

Hello All,

Is there a menu by menu description of all the settings in Plane Maker? The manual I have is pretty basic and just touches on a few.

Thanks - PT

Good points. I guess I thought artificial stability would help in this problem, but you're saying keep them to the left. I'll try tuning them some more.

It's just that thousands of users are having a good experience w/XP10. I don't know why I'm not.

Thanks - PT

Hi all,

Very new to XP, Transition from FS9. Having much trouble with keeping aircraft stabilized on approach and take off. VERY jumpy and hard to control. Especially steering on take off. I'm using CH pedals. The skidding and sliding gets frustrating. Been flying FS9 for about 4 yrs. and had to tweak the aircraft CFG file to make them flyable.

Could this be done in Plane Maker? And what parameters would need looked at?

I've tried using the adjustments in the Null Zones tab. They don't seem to have much effect, unless I'm not using them correctly.

I'm attempting to fly the 172, the Baron, and the King Air 90. All default planes.

I'm hoping some of you very talented XP10'ers will get me back on the runway.

PT

WOW What a setup !  Nice to have everything already done and ready to fly.

One last question on the M Panel, How would I turn the course needle on the HSI like you can with the Heading bug?

Thanks,

Paul

Thanks Eugene, That was it! I made sure that box was checked and it installed the drivers, although I got multiple warnings that these would destabilize my system.

I took it up for a flight and it seems to work well. Why does the installation process have to be so convoluted and such a mystery? Also, I was using Win XP and some of the instructions didn't seem to apply.

I see you have to start it every session also.

Anyway, it seems to be up and running.

Thank you,

Paul

Overload, Here is a shot of my devises and I sure don't see comm3. Now what?

(I guess I don't know how to post a pic.)

So how do I get comm 3 to show up?

Paul

The O-rings are rolled down over the lever, to about mid-point. They should be sized to fit fairly tight. 

The dimensions of the handle are 3/8" x 1/4" (10mm x 5mm) so a 5/16" ID and about .030" thickness O-ring could be a place to start. Sorry I didn't take note of the size I used. You may need to get an assortment and experiment.

Hope this will get you started,

Paul

The way I did it is by opening the quadrant housing and taking out the individual lever modules and opening them each.

I put 2 O rings  on each handle about mid way on the lever and closing the module on them. When you tighten the screws up there is a nice smooth and stiffer motion.  By the way, the rings were chosen to fit snuggly on the lever.

I suppose you could put more rings for more stiffness. Two worked fine for me.

I did mine about a year ago and they still have that high friction feel. I'm happy with the fix.

Paul

Beerwolfe, and Overload,  I downloaded them from that website, the "install base package" and the one for the M Panel.

I have FSUIPC, paid version and latest version.

Get back to me when you get a chance, Thanks so much.

Richard, thank you for your response. Good to know someone at least reads this.

I still have not found an answer to my install problem. The "installers" put two icons on my desktop, one is "VRiSim" and the other is "SerialFP2" . what ever they are. If I click on the VRiSim icon it says - searching for the panels - .  After about 4-5 min. it says it cannot find any panels.

So, I'm missing something here. It seems to me that this "panel finder" is looking for any of their panels not just the M Panel.

Has anyone else installed this thing successfully?

Please help,

Paul

Thanks, I'll see what happens. These look like the installers I used already.

I'll let you know.

Paul

What is the website address? VRInsight.com didn't work and the support email doesn't work either.

Paul

Trying to install the M panel from VR Insight. Couldn't run the installer from the disc. It doesn't complete the install, it says something is lacking.

Has anyone installed this for FS9?

Help!

Paul

I don't know where else to post this request,

where does one get Sasha's textures? I hear so much about them but this is a mystery!

Thanks,

Paul
