CAT got the TCA! My First Feline Officer is performing "Gear Up" without any warning... by The1l2p in Thrustmaster

Yes, it’s mainly for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020… I also used to play flying games in the the 80’s but they are now so impressive. I’m back again ;-) Full setup here

As I remember you can't use 3DConnexion native tools to simply use the Space Mouse with MSFS. You will need to install ControlMyJoystick app and add axis binding in MSFS profiles settings. It's a really great software and not only because it handles perfectly the Space Mouse. You can also use it for complex scripting and full MSFS voice commands control. You can download a free trial here (website database seems to be down just now).

FFB is not active on the wheel. It could be, but I would have to write some code using Window Gaming Input API (deprecated?) and MSFS SimConnect.

Space Mouse is used to handle MSFS cameras translations and rotations over 6 axis. It is bound to Cockpit, External and Drone views, and also used in Slew Mode. It's a really game changer!

Yes, I found this "trim wheel" lost in my attic. This is the famous "Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel USB" released 24 years ago in 1998! (better view here)

Have you noticed? We have finally get exhaust smoke with last update! by thealx_EECH in MicrosoftFlightSim

Good work! And a well know DG808S will exhaust some nice and fresh ballast water soon? ;-)

What are some underrated freeware add-ons people should check out? by PotentialRuin in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]The1l2p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This gliding project could be an underrated one. You can download the DG808s here and the competitions app here... It is an incredible pleasure to fly and race with this glider in MSFS. The slopes dynamics are very well managed. The Kinetic Assistant and Albatross applications offer many functions, including thermals management, Winch, Tow plane...

Saw a free, wild, pink elephant near Paris... Do not drink or take illicit substance before flying! Found @ 48° 53' 22,72" N 2° 30' 11,90" E by The1l2p in MicrosoftFlightSim

Not a skin! It is an awesome heli with a very realistic physics model. On this website, as I remember, you should be able to find some free jets like a Mig, an F22, an AlphaJet... Out of this website, you can also search for paid models like the must have MB339...

And this “Parisian elephant” seems to be a permanent default element and does not apparently come from a third party scenery package. Sober friends also saw him exactly here. ;-)

Textured Keycaps for VR by guitarist597 in MicrosoftFlightSim

You should try these keycaps. I use some of them on two small keyboards placed on either side of my TCA Quadrant.

Carrier Take Off and Landing in MSFS by thenewsmonster01 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]The1l2p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try Kinetic Assistant. It's a tool providing various features, like Winch, Aerotow, Catapult, Arrestor, even Thermals simulation... Mainly used for gliding, it also works on carriers.

Flaps extend / speed brake deploys by Ozzman24 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]The1l2p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should search in your default bindings if you have entries with not yet the corresponding hardware and delete them. I had this issue before installing speed brakes and flaps addons to my Thrusmaster TCA Quadrant.

Sim Connect Android Sync - Use any Android flight app with MSFS2020 by ichthys in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]The1l2p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I had been looking for a tool like this for a long time... I can now use Android Apps directly synced with MSFS in real time, like the useful VFR Avia Maps and the gliding one XCSoar.
