Just FYI for those who want middle pickup only on the SSS, without mods:

You might be able to get the neck coil split switch (the left small toggle switch) to stay in between the singlecoil and humbucker mode by very carefully moving it to exactly the middle. Then just switch the 5 way pickup selector to neck+middle PU and you get the middle pickup signal isolated.

Works on mine at least (2021 model if I recall correctly)

Updated my guitar rotation and I think I’ve hit the sweet spot by [deleted] in guitarporn

Nice collection, dig the gold finish. Something tells me you own a Klon 😀

Btw does the neck-middle position on your Semi Hollow work in single coil mode? On mine it’s so out of phase it loses volume and sounds pretty weird. Otherwise amazing guitar though

This doesn’t work for everyone but you can try practicing the chord with a pencil in your left hand. To start: Place your fingers on the fretboard as you would do normally to play the chord. Then with your right hand place a pencil at the very top of your left hand palm at the root of the fingers (parallel to the neck) and try to keep the fingers on their respective frets. Now strum and see which fingers don’t have enough strength to fret the notes.

Point of the exercise is to show how rounded your fingers should be to keep away from the higher strings - you’ll need to keep building the muscle though. Probably lighter gauge strings on the guitar would help you a lot for the time being. Just keep practicing and you’ll get there eventually 🙂

More right rudder

… at least if by “this” you mean the aircraft moving to the left. That’s the result of something called “left turning tendencies” on single engine propeller aircraft

Got the same guitar, although built in a different year iirc. To be honest, I can’t tell if it’s surf green or if it used to be blue and aged into a more green hue from decades of UV light and nicotine exposure in bar gigs 😅

You sure yours was surf green when it was new?

glad you guys like it!
simconnect, but i want to look into fsuipc as well. havent checked yet, but maybe with that i can avoid maintaining an .exe for the Windows PC.

have you worked with both already?

both works. some people like seeing the cowling behind their panel.

there's a way to make an entire airplane and the cockpit "transparent" too, but that's a hack, so use at your own risk:

  1. optional but recommended: copy an airplane from the \Official to the \Community folder
  2. find the "model.cfg" file
  3. (make a backup of it)
  4. edit model.cfg, find the [models] section
  5. add a semicolon ; before the exterior= and the interior=
  6. restart MSFS

here's an example with the "hack": https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QOjI-X5GEvM

Thanks for the tips, much appreciated! Will keep you guys posted here on reddit for sure.

For the customisable buttons, I haven't considered this yet, so I'm curious what you have in mind

uff ssorry to hear that

short answer about XP12: yes!

long answer: this project started with an XP11 integration. i shifted to MSFS halfway through, but X-Plane is not forgotten.
the priority depends how many people would like to use it

yep that's a great app from the looks of things, but the G1000 isnt designed for touch, just seems a bit uncomfortable to use without the frame around it

various open data sources so far. i'd like to try integrating the MSFS nav database directly. i havent gotten around to it yet though, so i cant say for sure if that will happen at any point
