  1. How do I set differential brakes to release when I release the peddle, currently each time I press either peddle the brakes stay on?

    Setting up FSX

    I rate myself a competant user, but not a ;techn-head;, so I would appreciate advice on the following.Windows 7 performance rating gives my computer setup a score of 6.9, and I have two 100GB SSD installed.I own a Vista 64 bit and a Windows 7 64bit Operating system. A Saitek flight yoke system, Rudders, and all three panelsSo to my question.....To get the best my computer can give to FSX,Do I install both Vista and Windows 7 and dual boot and give FSX the sole use of one system.Or is there a better way for me to set up???Regards to allTrainee Piloy Sonny ipb.global.registerReputation( 'rep_post_2160883', { domLikeStripId: 'like_post_2160883', app: 'forums', type: 'pid', typeid: '2160883' }, parseInt('') ); Back to top Quote MultiQuote Report var pid = parseInt(2160883);if ( pid > ipb.topic.topPid ){ ipb.topic.topPid = pid;} // Show multiquote for JS browsers if ( $('multiq_2160883') ) { $('multiq_2160883').show(); } if( $('toggle_post_2160883') ) { $('toggle_post_2160883').show(); } // Add perm data ipb.topic.deletePerms[2160883] = { 'canDelete' : 0, 'canSoftDelete' : 0 }; #2 JSkornaMember - 8,000+ Commercial Member 20,261 posts Gender:Male Location:Warren, Michigan Posted Today, 09:44 AM

  5. Thank you.Mad dog I watched the demo, at this stage i'm not interested in Co-pilot / crew stuff. I just want to use ATC. I will see what the Shoot 1 6 4 does for me.Thanks againSonny This sounds much better than using the mouse and failing finding a "verbal reply program" I will try uor method.Thanks for your interest Sonny
  6. I am relatively newt to FSX,, but by reading these Flight Simulator Tips and Tricks, am progressing nicely.I have the most of Saitek's Pro Flight System with all the panels and am controlling most thigs in flight myself. BUT...Idon't like useing the mouse curser to respond to ATC.Can I use my own voice in ATC, and if so how?RegardsTrainee Pilot Sonny

  10. Hi, as a new member I'm please to be with you. I have only been been using FSX for about 3 months, but am well and truely hooked.I am looking for advice on how to improve my setup to get the best I can, performance/graphics wise, from FSX.My Computer has Gigagyte P45 board, Intel E6650 @ 2.33GHz CPU, NVIDIA GeForce8800 GT Graphics and 4GB of RAM.FSX and Saitek Yoke Bundle are currently installed on C drive, If I were to put them into a separate exclusive partition, would that help?Or if I do need to upgrade to obtain better, which componants should I be looking to replace?Sonny
  11. Hi Mad dog,I tried the 'Regedit' procedure without success, no improvement at all.So as you suggested tried the Saitek support forum and there I was told that "providing I had the correct drivers installed.All I needed to do was open Saitek Control Panel (which will be showing axis off centre) then unplug the yoke and plug it straight back ".Gadzooks!! it worked perfectly for me.Thanks for help Mad dog,Cheerz Sonny
  12. Thanks for the reply, I will let you know how I go and also register with Saitek.
  13. I have installed a 'Saitek Yoke' for my FSX. All controls and buttons work correctly, with the exception of the 'X' axis (ailerons) which will not center in neutral, it is off to the right.Therefore in free flight, with the Yoke in neutral, I go in Right hand circles. I can get the plane to fly straight, with 'aileron trim; but that affects the banking differencial.Can someone please tell me how to rectify this?Cheerz
