The A2A Simulations Community

As a thanks for the generous gift of the P40, and with the latest Orbx airport hot off the presses, I went exploring the desert and canyon scenery. If you want to check out the airport itself, go over to the Orbx forums, but this video shows there is a lot more than just the airport to explore, and ...

Well there's a body of evidence that a NZ inventor actually flew a controlled heavier than air craft before the Wright Bros, and wasn't there something recently on TV about evidence that another inventor in New England or Canada somewhere had flown for a long distance down a river corridor and press...

I've found the best way to get comfortable in the circuit is to go into failures and disable all instruments. Then practice a few circuits flying by MK1 eyeball alone. After that you should be doing what a pilot should be doing in the first place, flying the plane, instruments only there to act as a...

A recent experience with the reality of accu-sim. You might note that the rain effects weren't working, seems I hadn't updated when I went for this flight...

Yep all the CH stuff plugs directly in. The yoke and pedals must be 8 years old now, so a good clean is due. That's why I was asking for a link to cleaning advice...

And thanks for the info DVM I shall go to my local electronics store and get some non lube cleaner.

My pots are getting very jumpy nopow.

Can anyone point me to a safe cleaning technique (youtube video would be ideal) and/or:

Where would I get new pots? Some forums I've read say it's difficult to determine the specs of the pots and CH doesn't give the info out.

You know you can buy the Bonanza and be flying all you like for about the cost of a dozen coffees or a couple of mid range restaurant meals? I uess it's all about priorities but sometimes when you want something it's worth paying for.

There was insufficient time to survive, hence I am morta. it was a matter of just 2-3 seconds only. Perhaps with a little more altitude I would be alive today to argue the point further but alas I am not.

This report is coming to you from beyond the grave, however let it be a lesson to those who are still living... I had just taken the rented Bonanza out and taken off from Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka and headed to the east coast to land at Trincomalee, a beautiful harbour and town popular with visitors...

Well, when I'm in the circuit for landing in the Bonanza, and I have selected flaps, pretty quickly I need to add a bit of power to avoid going too slow. I must admit I haven't done any tests of flaps vs no flaps but I seriously doubt A2A would not be modelling the correct behaviour. With the higher...

I bought a Philips 40" 4K monitor with a resolution of 3840 x 2160, and with my GTX970 it struggled in denser scenery like Orbx TE Netherlands, but I have since upgraded to a GTX 1080 and I can't fault it. yOur GTX 1070 shouldn't have a problem handling 4K, as it is only one step below the 1080...

You paid for a flight simulator that you can use until the cows come home. End of. You want a newer better flight sim? You pay. End of. Unless of course you can find a way to develop and upgrade the product that costs LM nothing in wages and other costs, in which case LM would love to talk to you ab...

[quote="The whole VC is looking superb, I’m just a litttle disappointed,I was expecting some kind of EDM to monitor engine parameters, like individual cylinder EGT/CHT and lean assist modes. [/quote] I prefer the authentic approach. If the instrument is in the original then it's included...

Looks fantastic.

Can I make a request that the curtains have an on off option in the control panel? Often times I fly for VFR and maximum all round visibility is important in these flights.

Thanks

Yep that did the trick, thanks. Cheers
