[timmo32]

Hey Dude!

Slew mode allows you to move your aircraft to a specific position.

If you enter slew mode and use the primary flight controls (yoke/rudder) your aircraft will move forward/back and side to side etc!

We will have to organise a catch up soon! 

I purchased the Saitek yoke/rudder pedals/multi panel/switch panel and radio panel recently! 

Love it!!

Y turns it on and off, F1, F2, F3, F4 adjusts altitude

But be careful in its use, before you know it you'll be worrying about textures and own a copy of Instant scenery..

You can move with the numpad keys as well. 5 stops all movement. You can pitch up and down with keyboard 9 and 0.

Or....  you can program slew mode functions to work from your yoke, using the yoke and it's buttons to provide direction, height, pitch, etc.  It's a must for serious airport revision/generation activities.  I use virtual cockpit and slew mode to do almost all my airport work, left hand on the yoke and right hand on the mouse is my normal pose.  With a copy of Airport Design Editor (ADE) and Instant scenery (IS) you too could be dangerous.

When I started using slew mode many years ago I nicknamed it the "magic carpet ride".

Cheers, Neil

When you land to fast or too hot, just before running off the end of the runway or thru a fence just click the Y key.  Instant stop, I mean instant.  Twist your joy stick and point the nose toward the nearest taxiway, press the Y key again and you are now back in business and just used the slew mode.

The youngsters are OK. It's the Ed Department that's the problem.
