Just in case you are not aware, the mods currently being worked on are for the CJ2, not the S550...

Well, "my other jet is a PMDG", to ripoff err, pay homage to the well known bumper-sticker, so using the GTN was not my first choice for the 550, but the FMS add-on Carenado put out after the 550 was so crippled/horrible that it ruined the plane for me for a while, so I was hoping that perhaps there were enough improvements in that area alone to justify adding the Cj2 - guess I will continue to ponder the purchase for a while - thx...

Per the topic, Been flying the S550 with a Flight1 GTN750 integration (thx Bert), and actually find I have been enjoying it quite a bit, but I am curious if folks who now own both think the CJ2 is really worth getting as well - I know this will vary from person to person, so I understand it will depend on your individual perception of the additional "value"... ...but, what say you? Regards, Chris B - aka "Flapsdown"

Funny thing, if I don't have FSUIPC installed (I have the freeware), every time I end a flight with my PMDG 737, FSX would crash - with it installed, PMDG 737 flights exit smoothly with no errors. This has been the case for me through any number of total system rebuilds - suppose it could be a coincidence, but it's reliable as the sunrise :smile:

I never claimed to be an expert, so don't start stuffing words into my mouth - I am perfectly willing to accept that our definitions of "unreasonable issues" is just going to be different, so if these vagaries in rendering really irritate you, well then they do, but I would be willing to bet that for 99.99% of folks, the basically set it and forget it nature of Hybrid mode more than meets their needs. I bet you are a blast at parties...

Sorry you are having strange issues, I am experiencing none of these problems, and use many complex aircraft - primarily the PMDG 737, but also the Majestic Dash 8, A2A offerings etc,etc, and my ORBX environment is very "loaded up" with lots of full fat regions, and with all the Global products installed running in "Hybrid" mode - FTX Central 2.0 has been a great tool for keeping everything up to date as well - not an ORBX sycophant by any stretch, but must give credit where it is due, their products have not posed any unreasonable issues for me - YMMV...

That's been gone for quite some time now - set "Hybrid" mode and your done...

100% FSX Acceleration DX9 Ran a month of P3Dv2.5 - nice, but didn't convince me it was worth the trouble yet. Tried a demo of XP - hated everything about it - a totally irrational response I am sure, but there you are...

Took the v2.5 $10 "test drive" as well and was not moved to move - the biggest annoyance was the sound - lots of snaps, crackles and pop problems that searching the forums seemed to provide no concrete answer for - and while visually it is certainly very nice, it is not so staggeringly better than my current FSX rendering that it left me massively disappointed in comparison. I find the UI organization to be really annoying (purely a personal preference I'll grant you), and I don't like losing the use of my second screen for some 2D items- so in the end, with the new box I just built, FSX is running very,very well indeed for me in just about every aspect, and combined with having tons of things I don't want to currently buy twice (some at ridiculously inflated prices due to the licensing), I will continue to hold off. However, I can see the day coming when I will begin the transition, just not yet...

You have probably seen or heard and been through all this, but have you tried the separate configurator program that is installed with the plane? I had to make sure that under the "FADEC" section I had checked the "Inverted Axis" check box, and in my case, the 2 throttle option.

I have both sets of aircraft (737-600 thru 900, Airbus 318-321), and enjoy them both - from a software standpoint, the Airbus did require some futzing around to get the throttle controls to work, but other than that it was not a problem. Operationally, I am still a "Boeing" guy, so I love the PMDG stuff, but I do enjoy the differences in "thinking" between the two lines of aircraft - and yeah, the Airbus FMC requires you to think a bit "sideways" as it were - all good fun though... Note: I should say that this is all on FSX for me - tried P3D, but am not convinced yet...

You might try clicking on the thin edge at the top of the GTN750's bezel - this is where the click-spot is in the 404 - of course the "Home" button shows the "D->" label, but hey, you can't have everything I guess. Note: you click on the left side of the bezel as per normal to put the 750 back in the dash, go figure...

Well, at least it is an offering which (like the Alabeo C404, that I do generally like), is back in the area of aircraft that they tend to do reasonably well (piston/steam-gauge), and which use to represent decent value for money back in the day, though the price tag of mid 30s to close to $40 US is pushing it - but it seems to be the "new normal" for them...

Well, I didn't really have much left in the way of adjustment either Right or Left for these items, but cranking in (or out), that last 10% or so has indeed made a massive difference for my flying with the 250 - I haven't gone back and tried the 182 yet, but hopefully the results will be similar - there is apparently something in the A2A flight control modeling that is way more sensitive (pun intended), to these settings than all the other aircraft I have used (at least for my all Saitek setup) - but hey, this is great to know, so now I can go back to flying instead of "adapting"

I just looked at RealAir's recommendations for the Duke Turbine and Legacy, they actually show the Sensitivities set with the sliders just right of the "y" in "Sensitivity", with Null Zones set to basically just under the "n" in Null Zones, so it's a bit of a grab bag depending on developer it seems... Added shot of RA settings recommendation: I currently don't use this exactly, I am way more to the right on the Sensitivities and with almost no Null Zones - but I will now push the "S" to full right and "N" to full left and see if anything gets better...
