With the new 1.1.0.9 patch, something seems to be changed with this. My MFD's are still as they were on my second screen, but the CDU and the clock that worked under 1.1.0.8 also on my second screen are now suddenly very small in the top left corner of my first screen on top of each other. Anybody have the same experience?

Very impressive! Thanks for making this available. I a just wndering what the difference is between the three versions that are included in the .zip file, they look the same to me.

I just noticed that if you have ground power on (before starting the APU) the sound of the fuel pumps is there when switching them on. Could it be that the change between beta 1 and 2 is not so much the sound, but the actual running of the pumps?

Is there an indicator that shows the position of the speedbrakes? I could not find it mentioned in the manual and also not on this forum. Of course you can look over your shoulder :), but I would expect also an indicator.

Rapid, I see that you also use TrackIr. Does that work correctly with the new ATI drivers? On the Naturalpoint forum it is mentioned already for months that ATI drivers after 10.3 are not compatible with TrackIr 5 software. Because of that I did not update my video drivers for some time.

For my flying in MS Flight Simulator I often use maps from Navigraph, and out of curiosity I also printed the info on one of the BS airports, Krasnodar. Although the airport layout and the position of NDBs seems pretty consistent with what it is in BS, I noticed a number of differences: - runways at Krasnodar have approach lighting. I do not see an indication of VASI, so I am not sure that is also in there, but BS contains nothing. - frequencies of the NDBs are different. For example, the outer NDB of 23L is 493kHz, the inner 240kHz. In BS, they seem to be different. I wonder if the configuration in BS is simply not right or if it is based on an older situation of the real airport. It would be nice to be able to use the maps used for FSX also for BS!

On May 7th there was a message in this tread that the manuals were shipped and would be at Amazon in about two weeks. Today there is a message stating almost exactly the same, including the period of two weeks. Are they now really on their way?

One of the problems I sometimes encounter during flying is that if I use my right hand to do something in the cockpit (e.g. using the mouse) I have to take my hand of the stick and the heli starts doing unwanted things. I always wondered how real pilots handle this. In the cockpit there are a lot of controls on the right hand side (for example the PVI), how do they take care of these in the heat of battle?

I was wondering how active development of Catchya is, I noted the last message in their forum was about a year old!
