joey45 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Looks very good, thanks. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Chizzy101 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks for the heads-up. These are a good read, especially for people new to the sim and are well written in easy to understand terms. Looking forward to the next couple of articles. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever" - Napoleon Bonaparte

enigma6584 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 The author did a great job. I learned a thing or two and got some better understanding of what these systems are doing when I use them in flight. If you have not read them yet...do so. They are a must read, you'll be treating yourself.
