Anyone?

Not sure where to post this but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I just bought the Carenado KingAir C90 and love it. The knobs on the avionics work by moving the mouse scroll wheel. What I'd like to do is turn the knobs by moving a rotary encoder instead. I have the rotary encoder hooked up to a Leo Bodnar board and it's recognized. How can I assign mouse scroll functionality in P3D to the encoder instead of the mouse scroll wheel?

I'm a long time XP user but now pretty much always flying P3D. It's nice that XP is 64bit, but it has some limitations such as not being able to detach windows to put them on a second screen without jumping through crazy hoops. The external graphics are better in P3D in my opinion. I'm a real pilot/flight instructor and the flight model in XP is more realistic, especially with things like an engine out in a twin. Also the avionics available in P3D are better with options such as the GTN 750 from Flight1 and also the proline 21 in the Carenado C90GTi is awesome. In my experience XP crashes more than P3D. Overall they are both good sims which are better in certain areas. XP has a great community too and tons of free ad-ons. Nice to have both installed.

I'm using old nvidia drivers because the new ones were causing hard crashes in x-plane and graphics clipping issues in p3d

I'm very happy with my triple 27 inch benq gaming monitor setup. I've seen some projector setups that look really cool, but I don't think a single big screen would give me the same field of view.

I've got a 780ti and very happy with it, I'm driving 3 27 inch screens at 5760x1280 resolution and seeing 30+ fps in x-plane 10.30

looks great, what resolution are you running each monitor at? I have a similar setup but I'm driving the 3 monitors off of one monster machine and GPU using Nvidia surround. Right now I'm getting a similar frame rate running at 5720x1280 across the three monitors.

Wow, surprising they take planes that big into there

Wow! Thanks for the link

Yes only some planes have a 3D panel built out, so you're in 3D panel mode with no panel for that plane

This is not possible with one version of x-plane, you'd need to install a copy on another computer and network them together or else use something like flythissim

Looks great, what modeling program did you use?

Awesome work!

I found some tutorials on you tube, looks like you have to use a third party app like Blender or Ac3d to model the interior and 3d cockpit.

I'm an x-plane guy but bought and am trying out p3d to compare. I like the visuals but am having a difficult time calibrating my equipment and keeping it calibrated. Seems I have to run the calibration functions every time I start the sim. I'm able to save a profile and load that to save some time, but it's still a pain and never works quite right. In x-plane I configured everything once and I'm good. Any tips? I have mostly Saitek stuff.
