Robert Halmich 8 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I am using the Saitek Pro Yoke and throttle quadrant that attaches at just the right height to my desk. It is not really a new gen Airbus contoller I know but I would buy one in a heartbeat. However I do not like how all the hardware has to sit on your desk which makes it really uncomfortable to fly. I wish that those who produce the hardware would come up with a mounting system like Saitek has. Hmm... I just thought of something. I once had a fellow make a unit each for a HOTAS Cougar stick and throttle out of 1/4" flat bar that I bolted to my office chair and it worked like a charm.

What I do is simply putting my joystick on a little cupboard in which my printer stands. I have tried around with several other devices to put it on, but finally this one profed to give the optimal hight for it. Now flying the Airbus is very easy and comfortable. So I recommend you simply to look around your house and see what you can find to put your stick on. It's simple and you don't have to spend valuable $$$ which you can better invest in some nice scenery or tools to use togeather with the Airbus X Extended which it finally comes.

Jarkko 39 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 A quick (and possibly a stupid) question. I have disabled auto trim in fsx.cfg. Should this setting be enabled for Extended X to work as designed? I would think that it should make no difference at all but just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

AngelSandAirWaves 89 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I am using a Logitech ATK3 for my ultimate Airbus experience. It is both-handed and seems to work great with the FBW system. There is no hat switch however if someone cares. hey , btw whats with that airsimmer project? news for fsx? pm me to not get offtopic to much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It's really recommended for a low cost joystick but it should go with a throttle quadrant and rudder pedals... Exactly, I forgot to mention I'm using it in my modest home cockpit with both throttles and pedals. For those here with a definitely larger FS budget, have a look here: http://www.fscockpit.eu/airbus.php There is a much cheaper option but it is in Japan and it seems there is a problem with buying it overseas. whats with that airsimmer project? news for fsx? No, still only FS9. TBH I have no idea if there is an FSX version on day. So for all the Airbus fans who want a good FSX bus now the Extended is the choice. <--- and here we come back on topic. It will be a hit, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo210 10 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 so the joystick discussion is more on topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjh876 1 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Not sure if this can be answered, or it might be in the FAQ and I missed it, but regarding the MDCU being on an external edvice like a tablet, I believe I heard this, that it is done through the web, and if so, is it limited to certain browsers? I have an HP Touchpad I picked up back when they were going for $99, and I thought it would be a great fit for this. Also, for the RAAS system, is the whole system in Metric? I do not know much about the RAAS system, but is it used in the US? And if so, is it in metric? Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 so the joystick discussion is more on topic? Since few people will fly the Extended with keyboards, and some are still looking for a good joystick for this addon, I see no harm in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1246 353 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hi Tom, I'm not sure, but it should work on all Browsers, but Mathijs can say more about it. about RAAS, you can choose between feet and meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Nome 279 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 One thing that would be really awesome, was if the printer in the VC was funcional, and we could use it to print out arrival and airport info or whatever it does! Probably not gonna happen, but man, that would be a killer function! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark79 31 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Maybe Mathijs will give a free bus to whoever can guess the release date... ...so i'd say Nov. 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacoche 31 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hey Matt, one question over here. Is going to be a 'users wishes' thread for SP1? I mean real and useful wishes, not nonsense things like wing flex, co-pilot, wx/terrain radar and many other stuff that people wanted and, of course, never will be on SP1.

Matt_Smith 1116 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 For that you'd have to ask Mathijs, unfortunately I couldn't answer that one. As I don't know how much of what was planned for SP1 has been integrated into what will become the initial release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs Hanse 216 Posted November 5, 2012 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hey Matt, one question over here. Is going to be a 'users wishes' thread for SP1? I mean real and useful wishes, not nonsense things like wing flex, co-pilot, wx/terrain radar and many other stuff that people wanted and, of course, never will be on SP1. Hi, what do you mean by nonsense stuff mentioning "co-pilot". Please explain it a little bit more because a "co-pilot" functionality wii already be included in the release version. For details please have a look into the step-by-step guide. Hanse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacoche 31 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks Hanse for your reply. I meant co-pilot, when threads ago some people wanted a 'physical', an image of a co-pilot, sitting at the right seat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs The Dude 6537 Posted November 5, 2012 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 5, 2012 Will the 'fixed' ND also display the EDDF ILS 25L when selecting the wrong STAR like in the picture? Nice curves though. But seriously; looking forward to the Bus! Keep up the good work. Cheers, Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
