FYI someone is writing a manual on the Avitab

Took a look at Google Earth the other day. This 3D scenery is so impressive it begs the question if it is possible to simply hook a simulator into it. Surely its been asked before but I find no threads at all...

Yep, he's not joking. Set altitude and monitor cabin pressure! Icing is now simulated so watch out for weird handling behaviour as your engines and wings ice over - another way to die..

Just moved up to ver 3.33 in the 737-800 Zibo mod from 3.31. In manual mode there is a moderate roll to the left only correctable by rudder trim. The roll is irrespective of weather. Recalibration of the yoke gave no improvement. Moving back to 3.31 solved the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

my mouse gets me round the cockpit and outside. RT click and hold to pan around. Scroll wheel to zoom. I find that very convenient. I'm a recent refugee from fsx. Learning curve was a little steep and as I'm 69 took longer than I thought but I love the way the birds fly here, the scenery and as I love airliners most the free 737 Zibo mod is great. What planes you like to fly?

Read the xplane manual first. There's some good explanation there using multiple monitors. Also get your monitors set up properly in Windows first before you start xplane. XP runs fastest in Windowed mode rather than full screen and you have the benefit of accessing other support like simbrief when your flying. Set your FOV in settings/ graphics section to something like 135 degrees. When in the sim you can use your mouse to drag the window across all 3 screens. Set your camera view(s). When happy press ctrl and a numpad key. It will then be remembered just like EzyDok in fsx. If you are into the B737 everyone is very happy to use the Xiibo mod version. Its free too as are lots of things here! Welcome to Xplane!

I guess we've been spoilt with Ctrl J in FSX

Good idea. When I have finally nailed calm weather landings I will consider that 😊

and how, I wonder, are we gonna find that info?

PMDG has a reputation for authenticity right down to minutia but you will need fsx or p3d to run it.

Did anyone spot the red/white lighthouse on the banks of the Thames right near City Airport? Hows that for an immersion breaker lol

Yea done that, lots of differences here from pmdg... work around is to turn qrh off n guess the figures! At least i get v speeds on the pdf

Refuge from fsx pmdg. I Cant set N1 full power or reductions which means I cant set V speeds. GW well within limits. Runway and SID set. Any help out there? TIA

Thanks to all
