SocketSeven posted:DCS: Huey You just sold me on it. EvilJoven posted:I'm just starting to get back in to it. I spent a few hours yesterday on VATSIM tooling around my new home town and today I spent some time offline familiarizing myself with the turbo DC3 in the OP. It's pretty nifty. Hell yeah! I'd like to get into Vatsim. But I'm British and I only have mobile broadband, hence why I predominantly use air hauler. Is it feasible?

Yeah that's exactly what it does - gives you missions and keeps score. It's kind of like the difference between a sandbox and single player mode in any given game. I was going to take some shots but then I checked the website and it would be redundant. So I'll just post my company and declare myself King Goon Hauler:

Bondematt posted:hurumpf, now my X-52 with the squeaky twist doesn't pick up full right twist anymore. About 3/4 turn is full in the calibrator and full bounces between 0-100%. If you do open it up make sure you do it slowly and you're paying attention. The twist mechanism is spring loaded and quite fiddley.

Has anybody mentioned how great Thrustmaster support is? I'm going to anyway. Basically I had a short circuit on the PCB and fired them an email expecting the worst*. They asked me for a photo and copy/screenshot of the receipt which I sent them. They've just written that they are pleased to inform me they have the PCB in stock and will send me a new one. That's outstanding service and the whole experience has been completely positive. *I say expecting the worst because when a similar fault occured with my Saitek X52 pro they sent me a drab email along the lines of "Sorry we can't help with that, try contacting your vendor". That's what convinced me to go with TM.

kalstrams posted:So, flying goons. Is Take On Helicopters a simulator or not ? The flying is better than fsx, but not the procedures. It has no mod support but tonnes of style. Sort of a Flight Unlimited for helicopters. If that sounds good you'll love it - I do. But it isn't my everyday stimulator.

They do different things so you shouldn't try to make them work together. Passengers is about micromanaging the cabin, serving drinks etc, and Air Hauler is about running a business and going to random places. AH2 will be out mid next year, and has missions like S&R & 'unmarked flights'.

The best thing to do is ask what plane you want to try. There are various work arounds for different ones. Scenery installs mostly have to be done manually, which made me want to kill myself when it came to my UK VFR set. I hope they've fixed the CTD due to .dll issues. I've been using 1.4 for a week and it CTD's pretty much daily.

Just my two pence on P3D... lots of bugs but very beautiful - my system is being used completely. To start with it wouldn't start due to a .dll error (not having MS x86 visual C++ pack on my x64 system). Then it wouldn't start due to a DX11 conflict with Displaylink drivers. Now I've had to disable HDR to prevent a black screen error, can't change airports without autogen textures corrupting, have to live without progressive taxi, and ignore the camera turning dead north when changing aircraft. If you're on the fence I'd wait until 2.1. u fink u hard Percy fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Dec 2, 2013 |

IceLicker posted:I did a complete reinstall from scratch and removed FSX (RIP) and once I upgraded my video card, I tuned P3D so I get a constant 30FPS with any add-on I throw at it so far. It's just taking forever to get back to where I was with FSX but it's slowly coming along. She is indeed beautiful though and I'm hopeful for the future. I will also say that i've been fortunate enough to not encounter any other problem other than the black screen. To be fair to them three of my issues are nothing to do with them. But that hasn't stopped the lead rendering programmer trying to help on the forums. Tech support also wished me a good day, and they refunded 1.4 without even asking why. Truly excellent bunch of people. I like to think they are some sort of skunkwork project at LM who suits don't even know exist.

P3D has finally been patched up to a decent standard. So here's a quick flight EGBJ > EGBB.  Didn't like the rain much, so fired up OpusFSX.    Gorgeous lighting on the panel.         Solid performance on my old q9650 & GTX460 with stock settings. u fink u hard Percy fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Feb 28, 2014 |

Nerds have been slamming the P3D team for their lack of interaction for the past month, so what do LM do? Shut them up completely with a new version! I've also consolidated my post quoted in the OP to a blog format, and added a couple of new things. Check it out here. Wordpress seems really convoluted so feedback welcome.

Get addons that are certified for P3D. The only thing I can't seem to get working properly is the iFly, but I guess it depends how much you value your money. You don't really need to buy environment addons as LM are constantly improving it - with 2.2 last week they added ~beautiful clouds~. Try default first and see if you hate it. FTX Global is probably worth it, but I'm a VFR man and allegedly it does strange things to your files.

sellouts posted:Does all of that stuff work with P3d? Pmdg I though specifically didn't. Yeah you're right about PMDG - sorry I was at work and my brain wasn't engaged. Basically have a think about whether you're a VFR or landclass man and take it from there. If I (Grawl) was starting out and preferred landclass, I'd probably get FTX global.
