  1. That looks like what I had in mind. I'll have to give that a try. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Edit: Yes indeed, that was exactly what I was looking for. It is so nice to have keyboard access to all of those wonderful popups. And now to decide what else to map. Thank you again!
  2. Ah, I see I misunderstood. Thanks for your response. I had in mind that it was some way to expand the possible assignments for the joystick/yoke buttons. So do I now understand correctly that these datarefs only report info rather than perform some action as I previously had in mind?
  3. I'm sorry, I'm still missing it. Could someone tell me what folder to put this file in? Maybe I'm missing something, but I think I could take it from there.
  4. I figured it out. I don't read Spanish, but I clicked the topmost link anyway and was able to find it there.
  5. I not too long ago bought the CRJ-200. I've been looking through the manual, and I am just now beginning the tutorial. In trying to get the recommended scenery, I went to the link as in the tutorial, found the right page, found the right things to click in accordance with the manual, and it brings up a "Not Found." How can I get these sceneries to continue the tutorial? Thanks much.
  6. I'd be interested in an X-Pilot event in the US.
  7. I looked over the website, but it doesn't seem this virtual airline is set up to accommodate X-Plane users. Am I missing something?
  8. I'm a Nintendo fan, but $250 is just too much for a handheld. I'll pass.
  9. Is that an ERJ? It seems to be the nose of an Embraer.
  10. It was also my first payware aircraft, and it is still my favorite. It was ground-breaking among X-Plane payware when it was released. There are some things in it that are being upgraded for the not-too-distant future. Even as it is now, it is the one I've been flying the most lately. Just one thing: I hope you have roll trim assigned to a very convenient location, because you will be using it.
  11. I also recommend it. Plus, the developer listens to feedback. I posted about it somewhere else on this forum.
  12. I would like to add my hearty recommendation of AirTrack. It is a good product, and the developer is apparently very open to feedback. I run it on my first generation iPod Touch, and I shot IP Objects Air an e-mail requesting that landscape mode be added. Fewer than 24 hours later I got a kind response saying that they had been thinking of adding it to the iPad version only, but since I asked, they would add it for iPod as well. Sure enough, the next major update came with widescreen support. I'm happy to support companies like that. In case you are curious, here is the original correspondence: My e-mail, August 27: Their response, August 28:
  13. Yeah, the Pepsi machine is my favorite part.
  14. You can get straight and level flight for the most part once you get it successfully trimmed. Trimming is harder though than in real life because you can't feel the pressure in the yoke as in the real thing. It depends on the weather though. In the limited experience of real flying I've had, even very little wind can make constant correction necessary, even when trimmed. I used to think that X-Plane was very twitchy, but I was surprised how real it is the first time I flew a Cessna 150. Now whether the heavies are so twitchy I am not so sure. It surely varies by plane. For that matter, your experience varies by the quality of the aircraft model you are using, but I'm sure you picked up on that when using MSFS. If I were you, I would e-mail the creator of X-Plane to suggest implementing a way to use those trim wheels. He can be reasonably open to suggestions sometimes. And furthermore, it doesn't seem like an unlikely request, as there is a setting specifically for the CH Products quadrant. Does anyone know the right way to send Austin a suggestion? Is it austin at x-plane dot com?
