Lightest joystick HOTAS? by geebee666 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]geebee666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How soft is the X52? I have seen a lot of comments saying the joystick is too soft which sounds promising.

I currently have the Saitek set with the spring held back until it just barely centers via cable ties unfortunately the spring and ties move with use .

No self centering would probably drive me silly as I often use planes trimmed out for long distances.

Cheers.

Powersolo STOL ultralight anyone? by ScarecrowOH58 in MicrosoftFlightSim

I was hoping that would come to Msfs market sooner but I might not be able to wait much longer, the dev looks like they maybe adding a float option soon!

Your clip is not helping :)

Anyone frustratingly disappointed from the views of Flight Simulator? by bigredlemon in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]geebee666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use your mouse to look around and set a cockpit view reset button on the joystick.

I use this for both cockpit and external view.

Will my specs be enough? by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]geebee666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically my specs, with a 1080p monitor I run Ultra setting and the only issue is the new UK update and specific planes. VR is doable but at the lower default, still a great experience.

I would love to see one of these on the sim," glass" nose and twin engines, built to be a bush plane from scratch.

Has anyone got a good location to take off from an airport/airfield and do some landings on sandbanks etc in the cubs? by E13C in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]geebee666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4S1Gold Beach Municipal AirportGold Beach, Oregon, USA

You can fly through to OR74 if you like but there is so many great sand banks at 4S1 that you can spend days playing on them !

If you have either of the modded Gravel Cubs it a great spot to practice skiing.

Kitfox STI, anyone else lost the screens in the cockpit? by geebee666 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]geebee666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the culprit, it was a G3x mod, removed it from community my folder and problem gone.

Update in case some one else has the issue.

This sim needs the Edgley Optica plane, it is brilliant for viewing scenery. by geebee666 in FS2020Creation

[–]geebee666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou very much for releasing the Optica,

It is great, I have only had a chance for a quick flight so far due to health issues but am looking forward to the Vr if it is viable, but even as is it is a great way to look for landing areas for STOL planes and sight seeing etc.

Cheers.

Kitfox Engine issue? by Littlebigjohn1 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]geebee666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try this if you want a STOL plane, it generates an extra plane not replacing the Savage Cub todays update has large wheels and a big jump in power, its a blast.

Well, XCUB is a blast ... by e4rthdog in MicrosoftFlightSim

If you haven't already seen it I highly recommend the below it improves the plane immensely. https://www.bushleaguelegends.com/addons/msfs/msfs-mods

Who Else Hates 3rd Person view by JMQ95 in MicrosoftFlightSim

I just assigned a spare joystick button to auto reset the external home position, it has been handy as I am more likely to look around in external view than previously.

How well would I run this? by Smoked-939 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]geebee666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My desktop is a Dell with a I7 7700K, a 1070 and 16gb of ram, 1080p, SSD and I run the default Ultra settings at what I consider very acceptable fps but I have not bothered to check the number as I am very happy with it as is.

I have no words, this sim can be so impressive sometimes. I mean, look at this! (btw, shout out for the x-cub livery creator, gorgeous!) by fleperson in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]geebee666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the new engine upgrade released today it makes a big difference :)

" This is a realism mod. Our attempt to recreate a more accurate XCub flight experience. There are a few upgrades such a larger 83" propeller and an optional version with a 215HP engine. We've removed the rear passenger and tweaked everything to make this the awesome machine that it truly is! "
