Wow, surprised nobody's interested in it.

I was looking to see what Avsim thought of this new product line coming out. Looks promising to me. The cost is supposed to be around $350 USD for the base units with $99 add-ons. I'm wondering if the throttle axis will be full range (as opposed to the bottom of the range being a button like we've seen in the past). A full range means you could have idle reverse, reverse prop, etc. Thoughts? https://meridiangmt.com/ Gregg

I'd think Working Title would have to fix that.

You may be right. I thought the Longitude had the G5000. The Longitude looks like the same package and doesn't have ATK offset and I'd think it would be the same. To me, it's the one big missing piece. Love to see it.

Really looking forward to this one. Also, hoping Working Title implements Along-Track Offset in the G5000. Gregg

Just an update. They took care of my issue and got me a new download. Gregg

Oh, I didn't check spam. GMail spam and trash both delete everything older than 30 days so do I need to wait a certain amount of time before requesting a new one? Gregg

I bought it for FS2020 and got a new PC. I keep asking them for a new download but they haven't answered. Kinda makes me think twice about buying KRDU, which I want. But, if this is the support? Perhaps they should think about selling through folks like Orbx or Contrail. Gregg

That's what I did. Thanks. That gives a FOV of 0.8. I have to say, though, there's a lot to like about the wide FOV. Having looked at it, it gives me pause to think.

I just ran across this thread. I'm flying the Fenix. 55" TV and 32" from the screen I get vFOV at 94 degrees. 94/57.3 = 1.64. Brought up debug mode and my default FOV was about 1.08 (ish) at 50%. I kept scaling my camera zoom all the way down to 10% and got FOV up to about 1.4. That's astonishing that 10% zoom couldn't get up to 1.64! I set up a flight and, weirdly, it looked pretty good. Some things were weird. I seemed far away from the PFD but couldn't really move forward because the dash would block part of the PFD and any adjustment to fix that would have messed up the view outside and enhance a "fishbowl" effect. Leaving my original view was the only real option. Tried a few landings. Have to say, it seemed about right...which again, to me, was very strange. Maybe I did something wrong? Are these setting similar to anyone else? Also, anyone ever hear of "Panini" projection? I wonder if that would help? Gregg

I like the idea of pilot controlled lighting, particularly at uncontrolled airports. What I'd be even more interested is that Asobo would implement runway and approach light brightness as is outlined in the ATC manual. It's not complicated. (And I'm a big fan of the lighting improvements Asobo has already made! Sorely needed!) Gregg

I wonder what the cockpit configuration will be like.

I enjoyed that plane.

I ask myself, what if you paid real people to do this instead. Gregg

Yes, KBNA. Ugh. I was tired when I posted.
