Re: B-17G World Tour (@ Colombo)

Looks really nice! But I must say that island hopping in the pacific without problems sounds boring 8)

See you up there! :wink:

Master Radio and Exhaust temp?

Hi there, I'm up flying this wonderful bird! And I noticed one thing, when I turn off the master radio, the exhaust temp gauge turns off. Now, how are they related? :mrgreen:

Nice, I really like it! But is the flag supposed to be in the wrong way on the starboard side?

Re: B-17G World Tour (@ Mumbai)

It was a nice feeling to finally set her down and taxi her out and, well if I had let her run a bit more I din't have to turn the engines off :D Nice! That's exactly what I fear will happen during my island hops in the Pacific. It's been too guiet on the last few legs, I bet she's up to something......

Re: B-17G World Tour (@ Mumbai)

Last B-17 tour I had a pretty interesting flight from Island going north up to Greenland and West over Baffin bay, going over the Northwestern Passage and north of Hudson Bay, I started to hear some strange noises from the port side, I lost engine Nr: 2 and I was up at 34000ft, If I remember it righ...

Missing texture?

Hello, when I open the hood and try to see past the engine I noticed that parts of the propeller and nose cone is missing. Now, it's supposed to not be there?

Re: Saitek X52 and Thrustmaster Hotas warthog

On the first picture you see the plate with all the electronics, a total of four chips sits glued on to it, and is hidden inside the body (pretty tight). It is pretty easy to take it all out, sits with one screw :wink:

Re: Saitek X52 and Thrustmaster Hotas warthog

I have never done something like this before, so I made it easy. I took the broken Saitek X52 control that I had, and cut away things that I didn't need. I had it plugged in and was cutting at the same time, so I could see how much I could cut away until it stopped working. :wink: Then I took the tw...

Re: Saitek X52 and Thrustmaster Hotas warthog

Thanks :) and I only bought the rudder spring and the pressure springs for the breaks, only 50$ for the entire thing :wink: The first rudder sensor had some problem, but took the saitek throttle sensor and now it works really good, and is very accurate. As you might see its Bf109 stile, so now I nee...
