    Was about to pull the plug on a Fulcrum yoke when I saw this: https://www.turtlebeach.com/pages/velocity-one-flight. And only $350. Will wait for reviews though. They only ship to US which is a bummer.

    I need to buy some new pedals and decided to get Logitech G Pro ones. I realise that Logitech took over Saitek (as far as pedals are concerned at least) about five years ago. Why then do I get offered Saitek PZ35 pedals - brand new. Surely anything made that long ago hit the market long before now. These are from a major retailer in the UK at about £130. Is there a difference between PZ35 and G Pro? Can I assume they are synonymous? Can anyone clarify the situation please?

  5. I purchased the Logitech Multi Panel and Radio Panel and am having trouble using them with MSFS 2020. I'll outline the details below: 1) I have the most recent (Oct 1) plug-in provided by Logitech. 2) The radio panel works when using the Logitech plug-in. 3) The multi panel lights up (now that I've made the registry power setting change) and displays whatever is in MSFS 2020 correctly. However, turning the dial right results in a seemingly random change of either +1000 or +100, and vice-versa to the left, making it impossible to use it to make settings. Sometimes it appears to move by step (+100 then +1000 then +100 and so on). The buttons, trim wheel, and …

  6. Hello, i help a friend to connect the VRinsight MCP Combo Typ Airbus with MSFS. My friend bought the FCU at Aerosoft, but they are not interested in helping me. They answered, i shall contact AVSIM. We tried a long time to make the FCU visible in the hardware- settings of the MSFS. We followed the instructions: First we installed FSUIPC7 and than in that folder the LINDA-files as explained in FSUIPC7. FSUIPC is automatically starting with MSFS. We have the latest release of MSFS. When we start LINDA, there appears a message that files are missing, but when i start LINDA again all three points are green. The FCU-Menu is shown in the LINDA-Menu and can be con…

    Hey all. At the moment I am really debating on which throttle I should get next. As a backstory: I've been simming since like 2010 and since then I've been using the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke with the throttle and rudder pedals. Last year I switched my yoke to the Honeycomb Alpha (and was like wow, I didnt know a yoke could be that much better!) Well, all the time the Saitek Throttle was getting on my nerves with that stupid axis flutter/stutter, I then cleaned it and it worked flawlessly, not a single stutter at all. Then I got the Alpha, sold the Saitek Yoke/Throttle and got a standalone Saitek/Logitech Throttle. And this stupid thing just has this axis stutter since …

    Before I junk my CH pedals I wonder if someone can help me get them going again. I had problems with them and decided that three new pots might be the answer so I replaced the old ones only to find I have the same problem. Using FSUIPC4 in FSX SE (An Alabeo Aztec) I get either 116384 or 16383 or 0 when trying to calibrate the rudder. Nothing in between. So the rudder slaps from one extreme to the other. The left brake has a similar extreme but the right brake pot (when hand held and moved through the whole 270 degrees gives -16384 for the first CCW 90 degrees, the the full range down to zero, followed by +16383 for the final 90 degrees. The aircraft runs…

    So I have this joystick that I use with P3D https://www.shopblt.com/item/thrustmaster-t-flight-stick-x-joystick/w121_2960694.html For the most part it was working fine except for an issue with the twist axis. However, the last two time I tried to use it I was having trouble with it. The first time I was in the PMDG 747 and when I tried to turn the aircraft on the ground I could see the ailerons moving, but the plane wouldn't turn. Next I tried the A2A Cessna and with that plane I could turn but couldn't move up or down. Finally, I tried the default F-22 and while I could move in any direction the controls felt overly sensitive.. So does anyone have any su…

  13. Hello, I've just stumbled upon the website for this yoke : https://www.proyoke.com/ I can't find any reviews online... The specifications read "Powered by AGRONN Technology" and the reviews about Agronn are generally very good. However these mainly cover the column yokes, which I suspect use a different technology than this desk-clamped one (springs ?) On ths plus, it's made of cast aluminum with 180° roll travel. On the downside the photo from the side shows a rather limited throw of the yoke (10 cm ?) Anyone uses it ? Or heard about it ?

  16. Perhaps a stupid or maybe a blindingly obvious question: Does anyone know, ...is there a list(s) anywhere that identifies all of the GA avionics and flight control sim hardware that is currently compatible with: (1) P3d (v5,1); and/or (2) MSFS 2020? Without needing to use third party utilities requiring custom programming to achieve the full hardware capabilities? This for people who want to spend more time flying and a lot less effort setting up and having to work around hardware incompatibilities with aircraft already included in P3d (v5,1) and/or MSFS 2020 products, Thanks, Brian

    Hello, I am stumped with this issue. When I select gear down on my throttle quadrant, the landing gear actually goes up. I've been at it all day double and triple checking to see if the has extra bindings to it, but I'm almost positive that it doesnt. I've already submitted a ticket to Honeycomb support, figured while I wait, maybe I can get some advice. Thank you.

    I wish aerosoft (or other) could provide us with profiles for each aircraft type (single, complex twin etc) as an exe file where we also could edit the input. It should have that after spending $500+. If that already exists I would appreciate if you could tell me where I could find this. Thanks Bernd

  22. I am sorry if this is posted elsewhere but I searched and could not find anything. I am in the market for a new throttle system and I am between the CH Products throttle quadrant and 2x Saitek throttle sets. How do they compare? I would love to fork out more money for something a bit more expensive, but that is not possible right now. Any recomendations? Thank you.

  24. So here I am. I completely destroyed my wonderful pristine prepar3d v4 install on my completely dedicated computer system by trying to use the SPAD.next download for my Saitek autopilot, (6) instrument panels, radio stack, and switch panel. I read all over the internet forums to use SPAD.next. Well it didn't work for me. I am running Windows 10 64 bit with all the prepar3d v4 requirements. I have a Nvidia GTX970 GPU. All my USB's are working and all unchecked for power management so they do not turn off. I have A2A Cessna 172 professional paidware as I only want to fly this plane for now. Anyway, I downloaded SPAD.next and let it go to the default location. Downloaded fin…

  25. For some reason, my Saitek Pro Flight Yoke X-axis keeps losing calibration. Examining it using Windows setup USB Game Controllers shows it drifted off to the right a bit and oscillating. If I unplug then replug the yoke's USB connector it resets back to zero and stationary, but after a while it again drifts and oscillates. I have tried the following multiple times: "To recalibrate in Windows, first remove the USB plug for your controller from the PC. Press and hold the Windows key on your keyboard and then press the letter R. This will open the Run box. Type regedit and then click ok. The Registry Editor will have a list of folders on the left hand side. Go down…
