When you do a speedtest the results are in bits per second (so your getting 50 megabits/sec) when you download a file in chrome it shows in bytes per second. There are 8 bits in one byte so you can multiply the chrome download speed by 8 to convert to bits/sec which should be close to the speedtest result

A much more accessible version of TrackIR
flamer replied to FAZZ3's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
https://github.com/AIRLegend/aitrack Its free, runs on the PC and uses your webcam.. so unlike smartphone versions there is no lag waiting for the data to be sent across wifi. -
Start a new free flight, select departure point and choose flight conditions, select custom weather, change the ground level wind to be a 90 degree x-wind at 25 kts, add another wind layer at 2000 feet same direction/speed, click back to map view, see the wind has updated in the icon, load the flight, roll past the limp looking wind sock, rotate and take hands off the controls and I'm flying straight as an arrow. Anyone else have this, or anyone else have wind working correctly? (live weather is disabled)

Free look bound to HAT switch?

When I switch to external view, how can I stop the camera floating around the aircraft? I want just a locked position? -
Free look bound to HAT switch?

Works good inside cockpit but when I switch camera to outside it doesn't work. Anyway to have it work in both? -
Started the sim today after using it for 2 weeks, for some reason it started asking me all the initial setup questions again. When I went into controllers, all my controllers have been defaulted again. I'm resigned to the fact I will need to redo them all again, but is there a file somewhere I can backup once I have done it again incase this happens again?
-
Seems like there is a resolution for controllers (manually setting them up) but what about panels? I have saitek multi panel / radio panel / switch panel no life from any of them by default. I installed spad.next trial which seems to get them working but would prefer a free solution.

Hi all, I have the saitek throttle quadrant, been using it for a while now and have it configured in fsuipc. What I am noticing is, with the mixture lever, it works pretty good, its reasonably smooth and idle cutoff on the lever shows 0% on the sim, and rich on the lever shows 100% on the sim so all good there. but the throttle lever, I go full throttle and sometimes it will show 100%, some times 88% almost something different everytime. When I pull back to idle on the lever (into the detent area) sometimes its 0% sometimes its 12% etc - same spot different value. When I looked at the axis config in FSUIPC, sure enough, putting the lever to full 4-5 times in a row shows a different max value everytime! The other issue is, using the throttle from idle 0% and slowly pushing it up wont register any change until it jumps to 26% so its not smooth at all. Have played around with the slope but has not made any difference. I guess this is a cheap hardware issue, but would be great if there was a way to fix it. If all also fails I might try setup the pitch lever as the throttle!

Is this a good PC?
flamer replied to Chris J's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
Hi, no its not a good PC. CPU is most important, you would have no luck trying to run pmdg on that. If you are wanting to get a machine for flight sim your minimum would be i5 2600k + gtx 680 For a good experience you would need a minimum i5 6600k + gtx 970
