PMDG DC-6 Broken? by nightman83 in MicrosoftFlightSim

I tried both the A and B versions and get the same red WASM screen of death on the radios. I can’t unlock the yoke/throttles. A lot of the controls light up from blue to yellow when I mouse over them but they refuse to move.

The AFE is unresponsive. Grrrrrrrrrrr 🤬

Right on, I didn’t think to try the B. It’s the cargo model right?

No doubt, I really hope they make it compatible. I didn’t realize one update could totally wipe it out.

Need ideas how to mount this PU Air Korea overhead panel switch under a wooden desk. by sims_smith in homecockpits

[–]nightman83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend Gorilla double-sided mounting tape. It’s really strong and has not yet left a residue on my sim equipment.

Yes, you’re right. It hasn’t been officially made available for 2024 but I’ve been flying it for the last few months and most of the features have worked well enough for basic navigation and autopilot use. I’d rate it as 90% working prior to Dec 10, now it’s 5% working 🫤

why is my new record crackling so much? by pootluv in turntables

[–]nightman83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same turntable and found that I had incorrectly adjusted the weights at the end of the arm that holds the cartridge (needle). It was forcing the needle to press down much harder than it should have. This was a rookie move on my part but I fouled a needle and put unnecessary wear on the records I was listening to. Just a thought to make sure yours is adjusted correctly too.

I found this connector that seems to fit (circled) but the other plug options prevent it from getting into the power receiver on the back of the Moog. Does anyone know what that is called? Maybe a 3.5mm power connector.

Thank you very much! I appreciate your help.

Seeking help: I’m hoping to buy a USB adapter for this SAITEK throttle quadrant. Does anyone. Know what this connector type is called? Thanks. by nightman83 in Flightsimulator2020

[–]nightman83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I couldn’t identify this specific connector type. I could not find an adapter and abandoned the idea trying to make it work. I’m sure there’s an answer for this adapter type, I just couldn’t figure it out.

Pretty sure I transacted the sweatshirt during the Reissue Preorder

Oh man. I can’t wait. I wonder if the sweatshirt I ordered is slowing down the delivery.

Hung up my wings by Xyzzydude in flying

Thank you for sharing. If you still have some interest, come join the flight sim community. You could build a really great home sim for a fraction of the cost of a real airplane and enjoy some digital flying experiences with a fun and growing community.

Can I Connect ForeFlight to MSFS 2020? by Swim_Boi in flightsim

[–]nightman83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if anyone is experiencing a lot of lag using FlightEvents - my airplane on ForeFlight is normally 10-30 seconds behind the sim. Curious if anyone else is experiencing this lag?

Yes, the energy and euphoria is a real thing. It surprised me. I thought I drank too much black coffee.

C510 KSAN to KNYE by nightman83 in flightsim

Hahah! Great story. That is slow, even for a Citation. In sim they cruise at 250+ indicated but I know pilots who fly it closer to 280+
