If you want something that lasts get a full CH Products set up. I love mine. If you learn to use the CH software you can create excellent profiles. Fighterstick Pro throttle Pro pedals Cheers

Thanks I got it sorted. I reinstalled W7 due to other reasons Cheers

Hi. I went to use BS2 the other day and it would not run, I went to reinstall it and got; 'The version of this file is not compatable with the version of windows you're running' Which it is as it was running the night before. Since then I have reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium. So now when I try to install it it says the same thing, BUT when I use 'Run as administrator' it then says; 'Windows cannot find C:\users\******\****\****\bs2_upgrade_setup_en Help please Cheers

Would like to hear an answer on this. Cheers

Hi Headspace. Firstly great invention, thanks. We tried it out last night and found that on the ground reception on all radios was fine. Once we got airborne and moved away from each other it started to fade and by the time we were about 10nm apart it was very scratchy and only just readable, on all radios. Is this the loudness issue you are referring to? It really sounded like reception fade due to distance, which is nice but it was just way to soon. Cheers

Correct, it can't be done, but it would be more realistic if it could. K

Yes I do this with Teamspeak but am missing the other comm's, you know like the ground crew etc. I prefer to have the other environment sounds over the speakers which I feel is more 'realistic' K

Hi I would like the option of sending all comm sounds; radios, master caution, AIM-9 and A/P horn etc to the headset (helmet) but let the rest of the simulation sounds go to the speakers. Cheers

I mapped my unused throttle wheel on my CH joystick to W and made a handbrake.:)

Hmmm. Can't make this work.

I know our Air Force used to use it at flying displays but don't know if they still do. I have never heard QFE being used in civil flying. I think one of the problems with QFE is the possible introduction of an error when working it out. Best if everybody uses the same datum.

On 15 September 2003, a U.S. Air Force Thunderbird F-16C crashed during a Mountain Home, Idaho, air show. Capt. Christopher Stricklin attempted a "Split S" maneuver based on an incorrect mean-sea-level altitude of the airfield. Climbing to only 1,670 ft (510 m) above ground level instead of 2,500 ft (760 m), Stricklin had insufficient altitude to complete the maneuver, but was able to guide the aircraft away from the spectators and ejected less than one second before impact. The pilot survived with only minor injuries; the aircraft was destroyed. US Air Force procedure for demonstration "Split-S" maneuvers was changed to require pilots and air controllers to both work in above mean-sea-level altitudes.

QFE is used by the military. Gives zero altimeter at aerodrome. QNH is used by civil aviation. Gives altitude referenced to Mean Sea Level (MSL) IFR approach uses QNH. For example, runway might be 200' MSL, and DA/MDA might be 400' MSL then pilots would set QNH and fly to 400' MSL then continue if visual or go around. Cat II and III approaches and autoland are referenced to Radar Altimeter but QNH is still set.
