Sick of clicking on search? http://www.helpingsocial.com/bingrewards.html

5 or 6 year old Saitek x45 here. It was getting "scrapey" as someone mentioned earlier but a little graphite on the shaft and it's good to go.

my experience in the p-40 is that it hates to fly right side up. Also why is the pilot seated so far forward? I assume the fact that his or her hand on the controls has no actual effect on the aircraft, but it wants to dive and the avatar is holding forward pressure on the stick. coincidence? probably.

since the p-40 seems happiest when inverted... also, nice cockpit...

Anyone else notice that the player characters seating position in the p-40 is really strange. It almost seems like the scale is off.

I tried the device manager test too and couldn't find the test either. All that info came from a quick googling though.

Lots of tools available http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/Disk-Bench.shtml Or http://www.steelbytes.com/?mid=20 Or Test Your Hard Drive Speed With Windows 7′s Device Manager – You can test your hard drive speed by going to the Device Manager, Expanding the Hard Drive Controllers, select the Port and Click on the Test button. Or At a command prompt run the following command as an administrator: winsat disk -drive c (you can substitute c with the drive letter of your choice)

That's what she said! :LMAO:

That's what it does now really. The terrain mesh and a basic texture is all loaded. The rest is being loaded as needed while you fly. That's why there is a load screen if you "warp" on the map.

You don't "own" software. Never have. If you think once you did you are mistaken. Even when you buy a physical copy you don't own the software. You just own the disk and box. What you get is a license to use that software. Read the End User License Agreement that you scrolled through when you installed it.

I'm glad you sorted this out, but from your description you did this the hard way. Sort of reminds me of the way my father does things. Once you have purchased a game in steam it is shown in your library for the rest of time. You can reinstall as many times as you wish by clicking on the game in your library and choosing install. You can uninstall a steam game by choosing it in your library and selecting delete local content. Maybe this just seems simple to me because I've been on steam since 2004.

been up all night at work... Sarcasm detector is on the fritz

yeah I referenced a schedule on the flying heritage museum website that lists what planes from the collection will be on display and when. The p-47 and il-2 are scheduled for a flight in June. I don't see where you referred to that source, but I concede that you clearly mentioned the il-2 first. If that matters.

what?

Yes... Yes they do.

I think based on the past releases and the obvious flying heritage collection tie in we have here, the next release after the p-40, will be either a p-47 or the il-2m3. My money is on the il-2m3. See this link for my reasoning http://www.flyingheritage.com/TemplateEventsCalendar.aspx?contentId=40#53

I don't see why he doesn't just install the steam version and follow the instructions. It's a pretty simple process.

I think what we've learned here is "don't listen to Ray".

The short roll after shutdown is because the b key also applies the parking brake. I also discovered that quickly cycling off then on again with the b key while in the air is a great quick way to center your elevator trim.

My first thought on this was that you had it in 5.1 with only 2 speakers connected. Glad you sorted it out.

You should just stay public and let people join. If you are off the big island you most likely won't even see them because they'll be mostly free players. The few you get that are paid players are usually nice guys. A populated world is better than a sterile dead world.

Go to the Chat for flight in steam. There are dev team members in that chat all day. One of them will sort your issues out quickly.

I have the same x45 and discovered that same issue. I think there's a setting in the flight CFG files where you can set a repeat rate for various things. Are you using the saitek software? I've never had much luck with it myself. Btw, I'm a Jeff too. Haha
