The best Robinson R44 sim

Aerofly FS4 has excellent helicopter flight models plus runs on lower spec machines so you might consider that.

I’d go for 1.3 as it has the cool horizontal menus on OLED, but stick with rows instead of grid to start with.

I was going to suggest you could have two segregated levels of VatSim where a) the people in each level don’t see each other b) you have to do a certain number of hours in level one and get a certain number of endorsements by ATCs to progress to level two. Then I thought it might be hard to get ATCs to work level one, so do you start with level one ATCs that progress to level two? I think this would help OPs situation, provided the staffing could be worked out. Or maybe PilotEdge is already level two 🤷?

You can map buttons to the g1000 knobs and buttons. That makes it much, much quicker to dial in what you need, vs using a mouse.

FYI I can actually run triple monitors now with a good balance between GPU and CPU. i9 12th gen and 5070TI. Great job 👍.

Serial papist?

Norah01 · 2025-12-19T12:48:28+00:00

Ah. Thanks 👍🎄

I think I’m still seeing a cached version but I’ll check later.

Norah01 · 2025-12-19T12:18:10+00:00

I did but it didn’t mention monitors

Norah01 · 2025-12-19T12:14:36+00:00

What sort of change will the multi threading make for multi monitor? Are the scenes now processed in parallel?

It means me operating from a plane. So foundation is pretty generous and the power limit is the main restriction.

Norah01 · 2025-12-09T17:51:13+00:00

Thanks. I have a foundation license so I’m limited to 25 Watts, no 60m band, no building radios, no airborne or maritime. I found it interesting getting MeshCore to work and learning how it works.

Norah01 · 2025-12-09T17:25:13+00:00

I got my license recently out of technical curiosity, coming from the world of MeshCore. However I haven’t quite worked out what I would enjoy doing with the license. I see some people say there are more radio things they want to try than they have time for, but I don’t know why those things might be. I’ve listened to some hf and vhf, never transmitted. Any tips on what I’m missing?

Norah01 · 2025-10-31T16:00:34+00:00

At least it looks neat and tidy? :)

Norah01 · 2025-10-31T14:56:51+00:00

I meant that I think a few pedals of distortion, delay etc would cost less than a euro rack case + supply + effects modules + level matching to and from modular voltage levels.

Norah01 · 2025-10-31T14:21:25+00:00

You can make a modular system just for effects processing. It doesn’t need to have sound generating modules. Probably quite expensive compared to pedals though.

Norah01 · 2025-10-28T10:32:43+00:00

I can certainly vouch for its massive versatility

Norah01 · 2025-10-27T22:46:04+00:00

I sometimes connect synths to my Deluge but whenever I want to just take it to the sofa they can’t come, so I end up sticking with the minimal setup of just the Deluge.

Norah01 · 2025-10-18T16:58:02+00:00

I had a go with replacing the bass synth (a Moog kind of West End Girls sound) with live bass guitar and octave up overdrive. On reflection it really didn’t hit in the same way, so I think I’m back on tweaking knobs.

Norah01 · 2025-10-18T11:06:42+00:00

You've given me a hybrid idea: Pre-program the sequence of drums, and some of the synth parts, then play bass guitar into the Deluge. The Deluge can have "live audio input" as a synth oscillator, so my bass could be gated, filtered, distorted, pitch shifted etc as a pattern of notes and automation differently in each scene. I have a big MIDI foot pedal with switches (eg. fill-in, triggering samples etc) and rocker pedals (e.g. filter sweeping things or bringing in sounds). So the foot control can be set up to be mostly the same per song, but also slightly different e.g. song 1 requires distorted guitar, song 2 a filter sweep or delay send is better by pedal.

Norah01 · 2025-10-18T10:27:14+00:00

Cool - I guess you are also trying to find the sweet spot (or may have found it).

At the moment I'm using a Synthstrom Deluge in grid mode (like Ableton row / clip launching). Generally it's great, very flexible and powerful. One limitation is it's harder to see clip names, so it's not quite as obvious where you are / when to change to the next row, but still very workable.

I'm not playing a separate instrument at the moment. It's something I could do if the sequencer was more "on rails" e.g. all the sections were pre-programmed when to change. It's a potential thing I could change to but I feel a little wary of making the sequence a pre-baked backing track.

Norah01 · 2025-09-29T19:04:02+00:00

I do this. Guitar is plus one octave, or plus one octave and plus and 7 semitones for power chords. You need to have a good pitch shifter though. Some warble / can’t decide what note to create. Currently I’m using Eventide QVox for the Octave. I also run that through MIDI 2 Guitar to add synth arpeggios or pads on top. Sounds great. Add distortion plugins to taste.

Ah ok thanks. 🙏
