Hi Don I cant suggest a particular solution to you problem - but it might be a problem of mixing controls - and not sure what you mean with Thrustmaster stick - and which variety -- and the 2 "Sticks" that I have used in the past have a throttle attached or part thereof. I have just replaced my set up with Honeycomb controls and have a full set of "Saitek Yoke and 2 throttle sets" - matched together - and are now sitting in my cupboard taking up space You are welcome to these for zilch - knowing that you are only 3 years younger than me - and probably as broke All it would take to solve the problem - is for you to make a trip down the M1 to God's Country and have a visit and a chat -and maybe compare a few notes on how good we were with our PPLs-and controlled crashes

It seems like yesterday since this freeware helicopter first appeared and I used this heading on both general and MSFS forums. Since then - this bloke has taught many of us - who are strictly fixed wing aficionados - that there is another life in flying and that is Vertical Flight The one problem with this chopper - is for people like me who only have a middy PC - and one needs a top drawer one for this software - but I still enjoy flying it outside the high res. Orbx areas - and I have already requested that they make a version for the new X Box Sim After 222,000+ downloads - media Hype have come up with their latest offering - version 1.1 and it is real beauty - and Rotor Sim Pilot has taken us on another gobsmacking flight in it Please enjoy the journey Newest Edition Version 1.1 | Test Flight & Review | MSFS2020 | H135 | Airbus Helicopter | Alps | SU4 - YouTube

Hi Louis have you had a look at the LM Electra included on P3D free list? - looks about the same

50 years ago this Sept - I brought my family to Australia - and we arrived in the Cicada season - every year in OZ - and our house was in a treed area and the noise of the C's was tremendous. When I asked my new next door neighbor what the noise was - his Reply - "It's an Pommy (english) invention!!" A - 2- definite - a pest but great eating B - 1 - Indonesians think they are money spinners for Tourists C - 1 - Nice doggie D - 2 -how did you get my photo

Ahem !! - itsa -----Hawker TYPHOON----

and here I am - 10mins at 400

Don - its also on V5 as well if you prefer it Thinks ?? - I'll just load mine and pay a visit to Amberly and say hello to you

Just for you Roger - et Al John O'Groats to Land's End (East Coast) » Microsoft Flight Simulator OR Land's End to John O'Groats (West Coast) » Microsoft Flight Simulator

In fact it flies very well and is one of my warbirds - in V4 and 5 - I use it to do the similar Low level flights in the valleys of The Lake District and the Blue Mountains as the popular one (?) in North Wales

Here's the Beast at the new Brisbane AP ----- and at Manston WW11 base UK

Too right Don That Hawker Typhoon is a Powerful Beast with Grunt and I prefer it to the Spit and Hurricane from AH The Heinkel is interesting - all gauges in German of course - and this one over the approaches to London was 70 years late

Aw!! - gee ! - thanks for that Adam Coming from a bloke with 21555 posts - you must have been around since another predecessor with the name At my age - I doubt very much that I will match your score - or become a VIP member - well done yourself

Sheesh - just noticed - I have just passed 1000 posts Sign of a Misspent retirement ??????

Whoops - al - al - al - whatsisnames at work EGHC - EGPC

Ben - G'day I have to say - how pleased I am that someone at H.O. has taken notice - and had the courtesy to reply and not just padlocked the subject and an explanation has been made to all others as well as myself.

I have a number (6) of their aircraft and enjoy them - and since I am not crazy about super class standard aircraft - the enjoyment of flying them is more important - especially the old birds that they are very good at reproducing -and since the Sabreliner is in that category - you can bet it will be a good one - although - not an aircraft in my sights at the moment I am looking forward to their Spitfire 5 in MSFS

It certainly was RP can be forgiven if he thought that Beafy Botham was a joke We in Australia never thought so !!

In MSFS - I think it is - and I use it quite a lot because I also use the co-pilot's seat You will find it in the standard keyboard binding - using a combination of the left/right/up/down keys and called "Translate cockpit View Left" etc you can then bind it to how you want elsewhere in your Controllers In P3D - I have never found simliar

Simple - everything that got me to 85 !! without all the problems that you old coots have obviously had even Mr Hitler taking off our roof and windows in 1941

Late as usual Lands End - EGPC - to Jon O'Groats - EGPC (nearest) A famous cricketer once hiked the 1000 miles for charity Who was it?

Maybe they will also wake up to the fact that invoices MUST include the amount of tax paid In 12 years - I don't ever remember seeing an Australian Orbx invoice with the tax on - and on one I got on May 2nd - Receipt #1016-2726 - for an "Odd" amount - $41.58 - didn't state the tax either - and now raises the question ---- was I charged the tax twice - and will I get a credit for the extra $5 approx that I was over charged? I'm not trying to be difficult - but I worry that Orbx - an Australian Company - I have great regards for - were - or have been - breaking the Australian Tax law due to an accounting error - due to the new International Laws which came into effect on May1st. - closing the Internet problem of non taxing non residents Incidentally - Microsoft also miss out the tax paid amount - when they invoice us in $$$ Australian - somebody should advise them in a friendly way To clarify the above for a non Aussie - Australian companies can claim a credit for the Sales tax on their purchases

Anybody else fed up with having to move and reset controllers around for different aircraft types?? I recently bought the Honeycomb controllers -Alpha and Bravo and got them all adjusted - I think! OK with GA aircraft - but with my single engine war birds - and an increasing number of joystick aircraft - inc. helicopters in MSFS for example - finding somewhere to fit my Thrustmaster on my desk was a problem. (I wont mention DCS) I found the solution in Thrustmaster's new bracket they brought out for the Airbus fittings called the "Flying Clamp" It even has screw holes for the 16000 stick it allowed me to solve my problem as shown in the Pics The Alpha is a little offset with the pedals - but I only use them in landing and take offs in the helicopters - all the time Note the space for the X box controller on a firm stand for use in situ.

Maybe someone woke up to the sales tax rules in Australia with regard to offered prices to include the 10% sales tax

Thought I would try a video using MSF 2020
