Has anyone taken the mechanicals from the CH Products Virtual Pilot yoke (gameport version) and rewired it with the electrics from the current USB yoke? I haven't opened either of my yokes (one USB, two gameport) - yet - but the new USB unit is useless for precision flying, especially...

I've just bought and installed MS Flight SimX and am beginning to regret it. It refuses to load, complaining that the MSXML component is missing and I should re-install FSX. OK, I thought, why didn't it just load it when it was installed? Nevertheless, I found MSXML SP2, installed that and...

I purchased the Raytheon G36 trainer software from Garmin. After attaching a new Saitek Cyborg Evo and verifying the controls, I gave it a try. The heading only seems to change when the rudder is activated: banks leave the heading unchanged. Anyone else have this problem? Also, even with a heading...

Hi, That should read no waste of money. The A/C I downloaded that I thought were faulty was a big mistake on my part and the manufacturers were in no way at fault. They contacted me and pointed out where I was going wrong and I have since installed the A/C correctly. I hope they have...

Are forward slips, sideslips, and spins possible in FSX?

I'd like to get FSX, but after seeing how badly Microsoft botched the scenery last time around (completely missing the largest landmark in the Merrimack Valley, namely the Merrimack River) I'd like to see beforehand how they've rendered my home area. Could someone upload a screenshot or two of the...
