    I don't look at the controls.  I have a Flight Yoke and Throttle and also a Joystick w/ Throttle.

    I don't think in a game like MSFLIGHT you would need too.

     

    However, if you tried to implement it into something like Flight Simulator X, I could see if being a potential issue. (Unless you had some sort of sensors for your hands/gloves and could turn the knobs virtually.  lol.

     

    Would be fun..

    I am not sure if you all are up to date on tech(Psh..of course you are, this is avsim after-all), but there is a little company coming out with a seriously out of this world Virtual Reality system that is suppose to be in consumer hands for right around 300 bucks.

     

    Do you think with the way MS FLIGHT is now, that they would ever develop the correct stuff(coding? graphics) to allow this to work?

     

    The device I am talking about is the Oculus Rift (www.oculusvr.com/) - Sorry if I cannot post links here, I am not sure, so I did. lol

     

    I would recommend watching you-tube videos if you haven't already, but I know that MS FLIGHT has support for head-tracking already, what about this?

     

    Ahh, I could die happy if they did.   Also I know quite a few already developed games are already adding support for it.

    I had the best time doing a Job in the C-46.

    I cant remember where it was, but the runway went out into a River. Medium sized runway.

    All sides had pretty high mountains but if you did it just right you could get enough speed in the C46 to get air-born. Retract Flaps, put my gear up and I was riding level with the river. After that I would follow the river to the right while gaining altitude and following the river back left. If I went to far I'd hit the mountains.

     

    Then I would get to about 2000feet and take a steep right to about 300 degrees and it would put you just high enough and just right to go between to high peaks and you were off for the job.

     

    I need to find this airport and take some video of what I just said. It was awesome. I normally fly with my pops(he is 77?) and he couldnt do it for the life of him. Finally I had to walk him through it so he wouldnt stall and sink or hit the mountain.

     

    woot

    Hello guys/gals,

     

    So I have been flying a TON of jobs in Alaska. I like to visit as many of the airports as I can, some are dang hard to get into and others I would have never ever gone there. So with these jobs, it makes it a lot of fun for me and my pops to fly around on Multi-player and do jobs and explore.

     

    Anyways, I was thinking. Most games have Mission Editors I know flight is done with, but what would it take to have a mission editor?

    I was thinking how cool that would be to make our own missions from here to here to there, ect.

    That way we could maybe have a community upload or download or whatever to import new jobs into the game.

    This could allow us to see other airports that no one goes too and also use some of the sea bases with the Icon in Alaska to land in.

     

    Also, it would allow for heavier loads/passengers for the C46.

     

    Just a thought -- Probably wont happen, but it would make it that much funner I think. Hrrmmppffh

    Lol 188AHC - That was my bad. I was the one who asked JCOMM about that. Just had 1 question and that was that. No need to yell at him.

     

     

    Also, having this twin is awesome. Very clunky and I doubt I will fly it that much. I wish some of the Cargo missions allowed you to carry more than what you can in the Maule (but I dont think they activated that, am I right?)

     

    Anyways, More power to FLIGHT. I love it and will always until something of similar or better quality releases. I think I may finally buy the F4U - well I will wait for the next Steam Winter Sale, then I will.

    So I was flying the C-46 yesterday and had a question or two.

     

    Whenever I turn, it seems like it does not roll quick enough. It seems even making minor corrections in this thing you have to use the rudder only because if you turn using yoke or joystick, when you turn back it is very slow and if you do not do it just right it will cause you to veer off to one side. I hope I am making sense.

     

    I know it is a big aircraft and if the mechanics of it is true, then I am A-OK with it and will learn it. It just seems that when you bank left or right, it is very very VERY heavy and you can barely even turn.

     

    So is this the way it is supposed to perform?

    Meh....Nothing really new..

     

    I wish I could be as excited as you on this one. I think the only way I can is if they do reopen development and do it right. It seems that Loki and crew almost agree with us in a sense that we had ZERO communication and interaction with them and that is a huge speculation of why they failed.

     

    I myself have bought 5-6 other flight sims, but they do not compare with flight. I would buy FSX(I have not yet) but all the addons you have to get to make it even look decent, well you are hundreds of dollars in the hole right there. If FSX had the same flying mechanics and smoothness, then I wouldnt care paying that much for it.

     

    Anyways, thank you for the post poplar

    Yeah, I followed a guide in the tutorials (not one of the top ones, it was on page 2/3) and I modified it just a tad. It wanted to start out in the ocean and i decided to start at a lil dirt strip airport.

     

    Anways, I could never get the indicator to switch from: FRM to TO. I royally screwed it up. Did not work AT ALL.

     

    I think tonight I will pick an airport on one of the islands and fly to another but write everything down. I dunno, I am still a bit confused.

     

     

    QUESTION: With the OBS knob.

    I set the airport VOR and made sure it was the ACTIVE VOR (RV6A on the bottom radio(VOR1?))

    The VOR dial had the CDI all the way to the left. I turned the OBS knob until that was centered and it gives me the heading(in degrees)

     

    I have to follow that heading to get to the airport, right?

     

    Also, I am still trying to set ILS, I tried too, because I want to fly INDIRECT so I can be lined up with the runway from far out instead of wingin it, flying over and circling.

     

    Yup

    Sorry to ressurect this old thread, but since flights demise, I figure it should be on the front page.

     

    Also, This is the first time I have read the entire thread and you guys have made me all gitty now to try VOR and ILS.

     

    I leave work in 2 minutes and heading home to plan a VOR/ILS flight. BOOYA!

     

    Thank you to everyone who contributed in this thread. Thank you for all of your hardwork and the "dumming-down" for folk like me. (nonpilot) lol.

    Well Loki is asking for more blogs on the Flight website so at least for now, the impression they are giving is that nothing much has changed. ???

     

    I know this probably should not effect me in the way it does but i am freakin ######.

    No matter how many times people cried out publicly on steam and facebook(here too, but since this is not an "official MS site" I am leaving it out.

    Anyways, now they have 2 people that are clearly out there posting, answering questions, updating the main flight site and replying to peoples messages.

    ....Just makes no sense....no sense at all. (yes, I am sad flight is gone. Out of all the sims it has bar-none the best flight dynamics, FOR ME, Personally.)

     

    Okay, also about the next plane. If they do release it and they plan to stick on the "end of month" schedule as they did before, than they dont know marketing products at all. They would get more money now then at the end of the month. Unless, way back in a hidden room in Microsoft, they are putting together a stealth crew of designers and programmers and are going to through a ###### load of developed scenery and aircraft our way. (HAHAHAHAHA.....Sorry, just woke up from a mini dream)

    I think one of the developers stated in a recent interview after the cancellation that there was one plane completed before the announced cancellation that may be released, and that would be the last DLC. The interesting statement is "This item will be downloaded as part of a set" Set of what? More scenery?

     

    Here is another post about that plane -- Who knows what it will be:

     

    My guess would be a DHC-2 Beaver.

     

    Check the spa.bin files in the Games For Windows Live - Addons folder. There are several planes mentioned:

    - Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero (released April 4)

    - P-40 (released April 26)

    - F4U Corsair (released May 31)

    - DHC-2 Beaver

    - Carbon Cub (released July 25)

     

    I think, that means that a Beaver has been on the DLC list.

    Wow....Thank you very much for the video.

     

    Also, I have to tell you, It stopped way quicker than I thought it would. I thought it would take way more runway room to land and come to a safe slow speed. however, he stopped pretty dang close to his touchdown spot.

    NoahBryant -

     

    See, I didnt even know you could load user-defined missions. Which is pretty cool.

    I hear you though on the missions that come with the game, that sucks that they are so short.

     

    I think I will be in the A10 all weekend and may give Blackshark a try as well.

     

    I have a Saitek Throttle and Yoke, but I think i am going to upgade to a Joystick. I already have one in mind and excited to order it and play this game. PLus DCS WORLD looks like it has mucho potential!
