  3. You'll be pleasantly surprised how much you learn in those harrowing ten/fifteen minutes! :D I'm sorry Draco, I have to disagree. Or at least, disagree with your example of Vortex Ring. What's one of the warning signs that you are entering vortex ring - given that you are descending fast, with power and at a low IAS. It shakes right? How can you convey that in the simulator? Maybe I'm just sceptical. But so much of learning to fly is initially all about how things feels. When you come in to put down on the pad, how do you know how much power you need to get her settled before you can let it down onto the skids? Varies with the conditions. And how often are you looking at the manifold pressure gauge in the 44 when you are putting it on the pad? It's feeling. You know how much power you need because you can feel what the helicopter is doing and what you are learning is how to react to these feelings. You moot at FSX developing bad habits. Well just because you are using DCS:R44 doesn't mean you won't be learning bad habits. No disrespect to the devs, but how do you know that what you are going to be doing in the sim is the exact equal of the real life variant? You don't unless you have that real option. And if you have that real option why are you doing something on a PC that you can do for real. I always found that the instructor screaming at me kinda made me not want to go to the wrong side of the envelope. A bit like Pavlovs dogs... Feel the buffett hear you instructors voice telling you off... Strayed OT but if you wanna discuss it some more PM me :)

  4. No worries I use my beamer for racing, flight, movies and surfing the net (I have great eyesight really)! http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2423369#Post2423369 Above is the link to my simpit in its old digs and config. Heres the new and improved (only slightly improved) pit in its new digs that is Hitchs home theater/Office/Sim & Gaming room: I mounted the pit to an old cubicle tabletop and added castor wheels for easy moving and I also re-routed the wiring to be a bit neater. The wiring looks good but this morning the mouse didnt work (gotta unwire that now arrrgggh!) I remounted the joystick to be in a better sturdier spot I still have to adjust a few things though with the ergonomics. I mounted the Buttkicker Gamer I got under the seat. The tactile feedback translates well throughout the pit so you feel the gun shaking and flak bursts as well as the feel of the engines running. The new spot for the joystick gets a much better effect than the previous spot it was mounted. You gotta have a spot for 7 USB devices soon to be eight. This would be the eighth device. It used to be my old Logitech Wingman joystick that I hacked apart and soldered in new buttons. Right now its got 7 pushbuttons and in the end will have 4 (on)off(on) momentary toggles for 8 more buttons and I have to get some potentiometers for the 4 axes that will be added. I'll probably mount it behind my throttle and use it for engine managment controls. Now the new diggs: Every home theater need seating. sorry for the mess the rooms still a work in progress. The new screen (well new used) it doesnt retract anymore but thats ok I'm gonna add some curtains around it to give that movie theater look you may be able to see the speakers mounted in there eventually I'll run the wiring through the ceiling. Same thing on the wiring for the projector I'm gonna run it thru the ceiling. I'd would have done it already but its spooky up there! This dude is on his last leg, I'm amazed that the lamp hasnt given out yet (rated for 2000 hrs/ has almost 4000 hrs) it was a great value. New set up fits right into the corner just like I planned (good thing I measured last lol). My custom desk in the closet. The monitor floats on a swing arm and everything else sits on a glass top. Looks a lot nicer when its picked up again sorry for the mess. Everything that runs thru the ceiling will eventually meet here with no wires showing (hopefully). Yes my computer chair is an ottoman........ great for the back! Not sure if I ever showed it in this thread!

  8. В текущей модели ничего правится уже не будет. Со временем будет новая. Кроме того, конечно стоит признать, что мы немного перемудрили с тряской по маху. Возникновение тряски скорее всего очень индивидуально и сильно зависит от местной геометрии самолета.

  11. :) I'm going to amplify Viper's rather spare response, since it's ambiguous in its simplicity. He could be saying: "No. No one knows." Or: "No. It does not have that function." He means the latter. :) There is no auto-throttle in the -25T. Sorry, Viper. I couldn't help myself. Rich
