Viper, Very much my experience as well so far. Can take off, follow a route...ish....slow down...and crash!..... I have managed only one landing so far...in the middle of a forrest, put it down soooo gently I survived....and wait for it....didnt even have the gear extended...so busy concentrating on decent rate, speed and keeping it in line I had forgotten!!! Managed to take off again, no damage inflicted...move a clear area, same procedure, GEAR down this time...BOOM!!!!...crashed... I think the ship has something similar to auto co-ord enabled by default from flying around a bit.. But like you, im loving the learning curve of this sim.. Cant remember where I saw it now but I did see a vid of someone landing this on a moving train!....now thats very, very impressive Regards, Gary

I have a proposal for your next movie....a sort of challenge A movie of the english manual, page by page!!!!....... For release tomorrow please..............................................lol Great work GA.... Regards, Gary

LOL...brilliant! Apparently the code word for the 1C guy is "4808"...shhhh!

MV, I know what you mean... I was explaining to my wife what I was doing...setting up an account on 1C, set up webmoney, get vouchers, transfer into roubles, etc, etc... She thought I was bloody mad!!!!!!!!! Oh how little she knows...lol Gary

A wish list....ok, my 2 cents worth..(and I have the Russian version so forgive me if some of what I put here is in the manual..lol) For greater immersion id like the following.............please Better communications between pilot and the environment...Tower, en route, between flights etc...The original boxed Falcon was quiet good..with calls like "your number 1 for departure" and the recovery routines on your return to base as little examples where its not just fly home and land...FSX does quiet a decent job too IMHO. Regards, Gary

MV, I like the little touches too.... If you watch the tutorial where the pilot does a take off, circuit and landing....you get several views where you can see the heat haze from the exhaust....made me smile that...attention to detail.. Finding it bloody hard to fly well though...which again, is good....as im no pilot, you would expect that now wouldnt you.. Well done with the download... Regards, Gary

MV, Congrats.... Downloading is the easy part compared to flying it! Well flying not too bad...now landing!!!!!!! Regards, Gary

I think your right... This bugger is very hard to fly well...gonna take lots of practice... Gary

MV, Yep, just head back to the 1C site and order it! Should get two download links eventually....I used goggle translate to navigate the !C website Best of luck Gary

Grave, Sorted thnks...had a quick chat with others.. Catch you there soon Regards, Gary

Loaded and running....typed a line or two but no replies....think its set up wrong? Got a list of names in right hand side ok...so not sure

Ok... Thanks guys...guess I will see you there shortly...need to download and install it first...also gonna check my evo stick...the x45 seems a little flakey!! Hopefully the evo will be better.... Chat soon.. Regards, Gary

Mine was very good to be fair...about 1hr in total for both files... Probabaly very busy servers now though!!!!!!!!!

You mean like MSN?

Glad you found it tcxcadet....best wishes Hopefully see some of you online when i got the hang of using this equipment effectively Gary

Your very welcome... Have fun...

IRC, Brief explanation anyone? Is it software to voice chat online? Gary

Viper, No prompt no...you should have two download links on the 1C website! The other file is called data1.cab I think... Two green download links...one for each file Gary

Might be worth dropping an e mail to the manafacturer for a list of distributors? Worth a shot Regards, Gary

I THINK its just the bundle thats discountinued (with 2 free games) but couldnt find just the Trackir to buy (didnt look long as I knew it was on RC site) I dont believe any new version is due anytime soon....version 4 is fairly new anyway... RC are very good as well to be fair....they even took care of someones girlfriend!!!! now thats service! Regards, Gary

Viper, Make sure you download BOTH files... Gary

If you go back to the 1C web page it should have a link to something called "services" where your serial number for your purchase is also kept... I had to use google translate to find the right tab on the 1C website but I got there in the end...

DTWD, Thanks....says discontinued on flightstore....so just placed my order on rc simulations and paid for next day delivery.... Thanks again Gary

Thanks Fragal, No, not available in PC World, Game, HMV etc.... Just hoped that someone might know a local ish computer speacialist shop that did stock it....bit of long shot but worth a punt I thought. Regards, Gary

I live South London area.. Does anyone know where I could go and purchase Trackir? Happy to purchase via rcsimulations if I have to but would prefer to actually go and get it today if possible Regards, Gary
