Re: Prepar3D

So is it safe to assume:

1. A2A C-172 isn't compatible with P3Dv2 at this point?
2. An update to make the A2A C-172 compatible with P3Dv2 should be available in the near future?

Cheers, Rob.

Re: C-172 by the Bay screen shots

And it's a lot cheaper to fly ... heck, my mechanic just keeps on fixing/maintaining it and I haven't received a bill yet?! ;)

C-172 by the Bay screen shots

With a little help from FSUIPC, I'm finally starting to enjoy this wonderful aircraft A2A provided.

Re: CH Rudders are hyper sensitive

Rob, I can thoroughly recommend the individual setup possibilities of FSUPIC. I'm using the CH Pedals with no issues. Not even sure I've tweaked them differently from the other aircraft I fly. The greatest advantage I find with the 'personalised' settings is that you can program the controller butt...

Re: CH Rudders are hyper sensitive

Agree on the independent calibrations for each aircraft (this is done in other simulations such as iRacing), but that demonstrates my point ... the calibrations should be aircraft specific, massage whatever FSX provides in such a way that appropriate sensitivity is achieved regardless of devices use...

Re: CH Rudders are hyper sensitive

You can change sensitivity in FSX itself. Also remember not to over compensate and remember that the sim models don't have as much travel as the real ones so smaller inputs will result in larger movements. I'm a ch rudder user and have no issues here using default calibration with FSX and no FSUIPC...

CH Rudders are hyper sensitive

I'm having a VERY difficult time keeping the aircraft straight on takeoff even with very mild winds 5Kts. I've checked and re-checked my CH Rudder calibrations and they are all good and FSUIPC is set to NOT PROCESS the axis. Again the problem is specific to the C172, other aircraft are far less sens...

Thanks, I'll check the Shift-3 window ... didn't see anything in the VC.

Can't stop Windows from fogging up?

No matter how I set the cabin air or heat levels, during wet and cold weather (59F and rain) the front window will get a VERY heavy fog (almost impossible to see thru). Is this a known bug or by design? See attached picture -- actually I can't attach the image, get an error "Sorry, the board at...

Re: Hardware toe brakes and the importance of proper calibra

So is this problem going to get fixed? I get the feeling it's not. The support/devs seem to keep insisting it's a calibration issue when it's not. If it's not, please let us know, no hard feelings, I'll just uninstall the C172. What I'm not going to do is change the calibration of my devices specifi...

Re: Hardware toe brakes and the importance of proper calibra

UPDATE: I was able to do a flight today ... I was still "stuck" at GA parking on default FSX airport. However, I managed to "un-glue" myself by doing the following: 1. Throttle forward to about 50% and leave it there 2. Open up FSUIPC and goto the Joystick Calibrations tab 3. In ...

Re: Hardware toe brakes and the importance of proper calibra

Hi Lewis, Yes, running the latest 1.03. Like I said in prior post ... I've done EVERYTHING suggested (and more, even uninstalled FSUIPC completely, OS joystick calibrations, FSX joystick calibrations) and my A2A C-172 will NOT move. I was able to get it to move once, back with patch 1.01, but even t...
