  2. Hello ! I'm also searching for a (good) yoke and rudder pedals, but I would never buy a product without knowing what's inside the case. Unfortunately, for now, reviews and product specifications only describe the case of the yoke. They don't talk about the technology inside, and about what you can expect on the USB port. They don't talk about the resolution, the refresh rate, and the latency of the control axes. Would you buy a monitor without knowing it's resolution, if it's a monochrome cathode ray tube or a LCD ? Would you buy a mouse without knowing if it's a ball mouse, or a mouse using optical or laser technology with the resolution of the sensors and response time ? It's looking like there's competition on the yoke market, but no informed customer, even if you ask the manufacturers: http://www.chproducts.com/retail/yokes.html http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/yoke.html https://flypfc.com/?/products/yokes/ http://www.vrinsight.com/public_html/index.php?module=Board&action=SiteBoard_1&iBrdNo=27&sMode=SELECT_FORM ... It's looking like they are still using non-sustainable technology from the past century (potentiometers with spring set): http://www.chproducts.com/shop/parts.html With a yoke, you'll feel the spring (like a joystick), not the force of the wind on your control surfaces like in a Piper PA-38 Tomahawk, but of course, with a yoke you're getting closer to "the real thing". Happy flying.
  3. ...but still no GNU/Linux version.
  4. Today I was in Metz, France, with the Piper Arrow III. Roads, railways & buildings by OpenStreetMap converted with XPOSM and Osm2xp, phototextures by zonephoto.x-plane.fr.
  5. Hi all ! During my flight today, I didn't notice any change between KTS or MACH even above 31600 feet.
  6. From O'Hare International Airport to Logan International Airport on IVAO:
  7. Animations are possible in X-Plane sceneries, but I never saw something like Orbx PeopleFlow or NatureFlow in X-Plane. http://www.scenery4xp.com/InsidePassage/Videos.html
  8. Monopoly on Euro distribution ? I hope not, because when they say "full support of X-Plane 10", it's only Windows & Mac.
  9. Hi all ! Did you see the previews for the Aerosoft Robinson R22 for X-Plane ? http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php/topic/48175-robinson-r22-for-x-plane/
  10. Happy birthday Ola !
  11. I only saw it today... It's in the AVSIM news: http://www.avsim.com/
  12. Hi all ! After Reality-XP, REX, Carenado and Just Flight there's now another MSFS developer releasing a product for X-Plane: http://www.fsflyings...emo-X-Plane.asp But again, it's a "Windows only" product. Other flying schools: http://forums.x-plan...hp?showforum=33 http://www.undaerocast.com/ http://www.flyaoamed...tor90-episodes/ Who's the next MSFS developer ?
  13. Hi Tompolth, I'm not using Gizmo with GNU/Linux, and it's working fine:
  14. Hello ! What's the active data base in your FMC "STATUS" page ?
  15. Hello. You only need your e-mail and your password for the X-Aviation.com shop when you install the CRJ. No serial. Happy flying.
  16. Hi all ! According to the manual, IAS/Mach switch over occurs at 31,600 feet... I'll have to check this during my next flight. But it's often the moment where I'm close to my cruise level and where the autopilot changes to ALT HOLD mode. I just know it's displayed on the PFD above the speed tape. Happy flying !
  17. That's very fast. Lancair 360 ?
  18. Hi Leen ! Your trick with a curtain is amazing ! Great work !
  19. Edmonton airport is part of Canadian Rockies by Tom Curtis (payware). Chicago by Ted Davis is available here (freeware). Happy flying !
  20. From Edmonton Airport to Chicago O'Hare International.
  21. Visiting the Mont Blanc (again) with the Bell 430 !
  22. Yes, IP.Board is very popular: Aerosoft, AVSIM, FSZone, Flight Simulator Network, X-Plane.de, Orbx, Flight Sim Labs, AirSimmer...
  23. Great news and nice forum system ! But now my favorite button is the "Toggle editing mode". For me this wysiwyg editor is a nightmare.
