CH yoke gameport-to-USB conversion by
cpq_ltop
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...

Homemade simulator hardware by
Christoph Krüger
Hi all,
does anyone know where to get hydraulic cylinders and pumps to make my own
simulator hardware? I thought of those parts they use for moving those
lowrider showcars but these things are hard to find via the internet (wrong
target audience I guess :-)). Can anyone help me out here?
Best...

Microprose Gunship! Helicopter simulation news by
WB
Microprose released their last version of Gunship in 2000 just before Hasbro
sold the company to Infogramme. The *first* version of Gunship was released
in 1986 or so, and along with Silent Service II and other Microprose games,
is still considered a classic, with many fans still playing...

FSgenesis scenery--help please by
Twilson

Check Ride in FS2002 by
John Storey
I keep trying to take the check ride for my Private Pilot's Licence in
FS2002 but, despite being told that I will have two chances at the steep
turn, I'm told that I have to go back to Ground School before I'm half way
through the turn. The lesson then terminates. Any ideas, anybody?

Using GPS and Flight Planner in FS9 by
Joe C
I haven't gotten the hang of using the GPS unit so far in FS9. My
problem is I set up a flight plan and it gets loaded in the GPS unit
and I take off and ATC directs me, etc and everything is fine.
In route I find the active runway that I will be landing at. How do I
get the localizer info then...

Rudder problems by
Murphy
I've just installed CH Pro rudder and pedals, gameport version, and can't
seem to get the rudder control to work correctly. In the calibration area
the rudder and throttle are both assigned to the Z axis and I'm unable to
change it. Shouldn't the rudder be assigned to the "R" axis? The...

Real-time real world air traffic in flight sims by
Marty Ross
I'm curious -- why don't flight simulators include an option to show
real-time / real world traffic (now that these data are available)? The
MSFS "AI traffic" just isn't good enough to capture my interest...
It seems to me this would be a boon to flight simulation in terms of
"realness" and to...

Turning down airport lights in FS2004 by
Marc
I notice in a number of flight simultors that the airports tend to be lit up
far brighter than they are in real life. In FS2004 you can pick out the
airport pretty easily by the spot green light or runway lights that kind of
jump out of the scenary. In real life it is much more subtle, especially...

FS98 airport textures in FS2004 by

Recently I added an airport file (airport123.bgl) in theFS2004 /scenery
directory. This airport bgl file was created for FS98.
The airport now appears; all the runways, taxiways, airport buildings and
tower are there and visible from a distance. The problem is that the
airport contour is ALL...

Lancair Legacy 2000 by

I just downloaded & installed a Lancair Legacy 2000 for FS2004 today from
flightsim.com. It is an incredible aircraft, and I highly recommend it for
anyone who wants a high performance single engine homebuilt. It is fully
compatible with FS2004, and I have been having a blast with it....

Is there a way to switch control from VFR to IFR? An example would be I'm on a long cross country trip and suddenly run in instrument meteorological conditions and still wish to continue on to my destination but with IFR ATC control.

A few thoughts on Flight Sims by
Don Parker
David,
Go to www.flypfc.com and take your checkbook!
I gave up on the plastic stuff several years ago. You pay, but you ENJOY
the hell out of it, and it's built to last forever (lifetime warranty)!! Or
at least until technology leaves you in the dust, I recently had to go to a
DB-15/USB converter...
