started in the cessna 172... now i'm pretty good at flying anything I feel like trying. I'll throw in some nasty weather to make things challenging these days.

I don't know about default capabilities, but you can assign keyboard functions to joystick buttons via FSUIPC

"I really impressed my instructor when I told him that a wasn't really looking out the window during manuevers.....my eyes were on the instruments." Strange... that's the exact opposite of what I've been taught. Keep the eyes outside, and quickly scan the instruments, but keep looking around, ya kno...

default keyboard key is hold down f2. assigning it to a joystick button? i've never tried... i've got my reverse thrust through my throttle quadrant thanks to fsuipc... i know you can assign keystroke functions to a joystick button through fsuipc also.. but i don't know if there is a way to do it th...

maybe i'm being too simple minded... but does it seem a bit odd that the a380 was compared to a 737?

I was thinking the same thing for labels... if i were to purchase this that is... i've got some clear return address labels that i bet would work pretty good... (return address labels are smaller than the typical addressee label) good luck and you should take a picture of your new setup when it gets...

"Please let us know if this posting has peaked your interest. Is this something that you will use also? Do you agree that we can all benefit from having more buttons and switches at our finger tips? " Yes Possibly Yes Its good to know there is a less expensive alternative to the GoFlight modules. I ...

i'd say wow... but that.. any anything else i think would be an understatement

no page found when clicked on that link...

the new 737 from posky is the one that has the push tug and wing walker guy... i'm not sure about other aircraft from them... the 737 is very good though, i just downloaded it!

try doing a search for: mouse as yoke

you'll find the program... i used it before i got the game controller and didn't really like it...

is that not what i was describing? a playstation like controller?

I use a gamepad when i'm travelling with my laptop. It fits nicely in the laptop bag and it is usb. The little joysticks take a little getting use to, but it gets the job done and certainly beats using the keyboard. You can assign the buttons and joysticks to pretty much anything you would a normal ...

where would one download this ifly 747?

sure, you could split it 3 ways... but depending on what you do with your extra space could make it not worth while due to the frame rates being hit... I have two monitors... on one i have stuff like throttle quad, gps, radio stack or atc window, and on the other i have the main display... if you wa...

nope! It is up to the developer of the aircraft to develop a VC with the rest of the model. The VC cannot be copied like the regualr 2d panel

was there something you are supposed to do at that time? uh yeah... you already said it:
turn left heading 040 descend and maintain 5000. expect vectors ILS runway 34

ah... i see what you mean now... no resolve for you though (not yet), sorry...

This could help... might not... but here it is, from the FS2004 FAQ section at flightsim.com: ---------------------------------------------------------- How do I make the Nav2 and/or ADF2 radios work? Assuming that the aircraft has a workable Nav2 radio on the panel, add the following lines to the a...

may be others... alls i did was go to google and searched for flight simulator collective...

ok... i guess i'll throw my two cents in.. (i've never been good at saving money) The altitude looks ok... what you are pointing at appears to be a hill or a mountain... i dunno.. The horizon problem i also suffered the same problem. My system was low end... celeron processor... pci graphics card......

You can also change the location of the tower by just go to the map in FS. There is a little tower icon.. just click that and drag it to wherever you want... you can also change the altitude of the tower there too... i've never tested if it stays where you leave it though... If you change the locati...

The second one down maybe?

I don't know if it is the correct way... but i'll usually fine tune the trim with power settings... increase/decrease the throttle just a tad

If you're flying a single engine prop this is normal behavior i believe

you could watch dvd's though!

A super-walmart is all ya need to step up to the next level from the keyboard flying.. they'll have a decent enough joystick for ya around $20-$30. Sometimes you can find them on clearance for cheaper... You can also check out the websites, like bestbuy.com, or even amazon.com. Northeastern AZ huh? ...

I got mine from Wal-mart... ita nothin special, but it gets the job done. Go check out Best Buy, Circuit City, Comp USA or Frys Electronics(depending on where you are in AZ)... anyone of those stores would have a joystick i'm sure would fit to your budget (whatever it is) and to your liking.
