  1. I think the Winwing Sim Orion rudder pedals are about the best out there, although I don't fly helicopters. They are adjustable, all metal and have an option to include a damper which I find very helpful.
  2. I fly it regularly with most of the WinWingsims hardware and I have not had any issues, either with the NEO or CEO A321. FSL had an update a few days ago......
  3. If I was going to go berserk, I wouldn't do it in China.
  4. May not be related, but mine would cartwheel on its nose and flip over. It seemed to be a result of importing aircraft weights from SImbrief. Once I stopped that, aircraft operated as it should.
  5. I just bought the Turtle Beach Stealth Controller - wireless and has several add'l buttons. Not cheap, but I like it a lot.
  6. I use an XBox controller to control the drone. It's easy to map the buttons and works well. There are several videos on you tube as to the process.
  7. You should give a slight range for each detent position. The format error is because you must enter the values with a slash between them. There shoudl be some youtube videos for examples. example ".05/.075".
  8. Well then why are they missing many cockpit sounds, the AP disengages if you look at it too hard and they can't fix the L/Ctrl null zones error. Been that way for three years.
  9. Simbrief Downloader is just a conduit to download your current flight plan and automatically direct it to save in specific locations and formats for the most common addons and software. You select the software and locations that you have installed. Aivlasoft, an EFB and planning tool, as previously described, is simply one of those.
  10. I recently bouight the WInwing FCU1 for the A3XX series, whoch says it is compatible with P3Dv5. Their Winapp software has a feature that tells you when the software recognizes P3D launching, but it apparently doesn't recognize P3D launching and doesn;t seem to be compatible yet. I have put a ticket in their support, which is in China and answers are a bit cryptic. It seems to say that their software engineers are still working on it. Information, youtube, etc for the FCU1 and P3D5 is non-existant as yet. I am wondering if anyone has any different experience with it. In that vein, I'm not sure what the plan with FlightSim Labs products is with this unit. In P3D5, in the controls section, it recognizes that the FCU is attached and allows you to add or change button bindings, but they don't work, it seems. Thanks for any information, Jeff Callender
  11. I have this same freezing problem with both the Fenix A320 and the TFDI MD-11.
  12. I have a dual 32" monitor setup with another small 5x7 LCD that I use to pop out the EFIS and the HSI in the Fenix A320. For some reason now when I right-alt, get the "plus" sign and then left click, no windows pop out. I don't have any other desktops set up or odd configurations that I know of. The monitors are set to their native and recommended resolutions. Anyone else have this strange behavior? Any ideas? Thanks.
  13. There is an American stratoliner livery as well as the new livery and the just replaced red-white-blue stripe livery.
  14. 980 as well. Don't know the details, but I got an e-mail from Newegg as well.
  15. America's newest air superiority fighter. I was looking for the drogue chute on the landing. If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going.
  16. I find that with PMDG, a left or right turn will produce a pushback length of about 400ft, which I am unable to change, so i use GSX exclusively.
  17. Wish I could wipe the smudges off some of the glass. Makes my OCD work overtime. And the PPG serial number on the windshield is a nice detail.
  18. Look at the CH Yoke and pedals. Reasonably priced and good quality. I use mine with both PMDG and the Airbus as well as numerous GA aircraft.
  19. I must have missed a download, but for P3Dv3.3, I had to run one executable, install a patch and then run the two part installer. And that is after going through the infernal Flight1 authentication process. I did this today as i installed everything fresh.
  20. Thank for the tips! Jeff Callender
  21. ​I've seen numerous people say they don't use ORBX Vector, but I am wondering what you use instead to provide that functionality or is it even necessary? I use ORBX Global and UTX USA2.0 scenery, some FSDT airports. Since P3D 3.2 and now with the update to 3.3, the scenery and texture after awhile seems to devolve into this blob of non-defined color blotches. I am going to re-install P3D 3.3 fresh and start over. Thanks for any recommendations. Jeff Callender
  22. Given that they are chosen because of their ability to withstand hi-g maneuvers and then trained in hi-g maneuvers without hi-g flight gear and perform without hi-g flight gear, I think it is unlikely the pilot suffered a blackout. While anything is possible, I would think it is very low probability.
  23. The pilot who died was a Marine Captain who stayed with the bird to keep it from hitting an apartment complex. Semper Fi..."in the finest traditions of the Naval Service". Jeff Callender
  24. You should be able to go to the Windows Control panel apps function and uninstall RAAS.
