Yea! Alright! Glad you won! Just don't fly that thing at me! :D
-
That takes me back to my wedding. Very nice. Blessings to the happy couple!
-
I dont think I qualify for any prize, but I was there for about 30 mins. I did not fly the full course. I came in late and because my plane is so slow, I started halfway. I had to leave when I was about 10 miles out. Mostly I was testing my settings to make sure I was set for future fly-ins.
-
Do you have a FSHost server you use for your fly-ins?
-
I'm not sure about Vista but there used to be a setting called 'Workgroup' in the computer name section. It should be the same for both of them or they will not see each other.
What happens the 10th time? Does it work? Has it ever worked correctly?
-
Its different.

Happy Birthday! The only thing that comes to mind is to let you young whippersnappers know what it was really like...

Some of us have reached the age where we wonder what to wear to the beach.....

Happy Birthday!
What is your birthday? 26th?

He is suffering from deltitus. That's what happens when you fly Delta.....

I hope Fritz realizes that if he comes back with no pictures of the real Emma he is likely to be tied to the wing while One eye does some close order drill at the treeline....

Thanks Pete.
I thought I had read all of the announcements. I guess not.

Hi Pete,
I'm also working on a motion platform. I've downloaded the SDK from your website but it says its for pre-FSX sims. I'm building for FSX. Will this be a problem? Do you have a new SDK for FSX?
Thanks

Here Here :D
There There!
Oh... Wait a sec... I don't live here....
Congrats Chris! You deserve it.

So Bill,
Is there any one book you think would help a beginner learn GMAX?
-
Ok. I think I know what you mean.
I donwloaded a trial of 3DSMax and it looked exactly like GMAX to me (The 3d model ignorant). I wonder if FSDS has a similar interface? Can you use one to learn the basics of the other? I'd really like to be able to use it (GMAX) since I have other projects that would benefit greatly from it, but the learning curve is outrageous.
-
I'm not sure I get you Francois, What restrictions?
-
I'd like to slip in a bit of info I have not seen mentioned so far....
FSDS has been updated to work with FSX.
True, GMAX is free and is actually on the disk in the Deluxe FSX, but boy howdy! is it difficult to learn when you only have a couple of hours a week.
You will have to look for the new version. It SHOULD be on the home page when you click on the Flight Sim button but.... Ya never know.
-
You might also want to look over on http://www.mycockpit.org since some of us are working on an open source software for driving motion platforms.

Like Chris said, I purchased my yoke and pedals before Saitek came out with theirs and I'm pretty happy with them. The ch Yoke has some drawbacks but nothing drastic. After reading about the Saitek yoke, I think I'd like to get one since it has a stainless steel shaft and some other construction advantages. Plus, I'm a pit builder and I would rather have the steel in my cockpit. It lasts longer and has a better feel.

$1,800 gets you some really nice toys indeed. If you have that kind of money, then by all means, go for it.
-
I was thinking about your racing car pedals and even if you could program them to work you would be cheating yourself. Remember the pedals in a plane s-l-i-d-e forwards and backwards and racing pedals just wont do that.
-
There are maybe 4 or 5 yokes and pedals worth getting.
CH is about the most popular yoke and it works well. It is made of plastic but if you treat it nice, it will last quite some time. Just remember to never put WD-40 on plastic! Almost any yoke you get with few exceptions will be made of plastic. I have the CH yoke and pedals and I really like them.

Jeff,
Get this book and it will explain all you need to know to get started.

I am a real life pilot and this book is excellent.

FSFlying SChool Registration
in FSUIPC Support Pete Dowson Modules
Posted
I use FSFS and in the manual it says that you do not need to register FSUIPC.
They include it as part of the install but it is not a registered version.
Just ignore the FSUIPC registration for FSFS.
BUT, FSUIPC is well worth the addiditonal cost and I highly recommend it.
