    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Hey All,
Im getting back into flight sim,Id like to get the honeycomb setup,but i cant seem to find any avalible,ive got money now and wont later,so its do or die,ive found a package of Saitek yoke,peddles,throttle (will add a second one),starter box,radios,the autopilot box,(sorry cant think of the actual names of those) and 6 of the small instruments.

will i need to use spadnext to get them all to work in MSFS? or did mircosoft build all that into MSFS?..its 6:30 am,and i never went to sleep last night,third night without sleep,but i tend to "passout" at times during the day,damnit.anyway..id like to know whats needed to make MSFS see them correcxtly..i remember it was a hassle for me to get it all working in P3D,im not good at reading instructions and at that time i couldnt find youtube guides,,know of any for setting up spadnext?.
hope im making sense..thanks all

MSFS should natively recognize the Saitek controllers. I am not sure about the rest. If it doesn't auto assign functions, you can easily bind MSFS functions to buttons and axes. You should be able to do this for the other controls, provided MSFS sees them as a game controller. Just select the controller and assign a function to a button. Some controllers use their own processor (Go-Flight for one) bypassing Windows game controller app. MSFS will not see these, so you will not be able to set them up in MSFS. However, there are options.

Both FSUIPC and AxesandOhs (third party payware) can see many controllers that MSFS would see. FSUIPC can see ever Go-Flight controllers and allow you to set them up in MSFS. AxesandOhs does not see Go-Flight rotaries but is does see Go-Flight buttons and many other controllers. IMO, it a bit simpler and more intuitive to use in setting up a controller or button. Both FSUIPC allow powerful scripting using Lua (FSUIPC) or in AxesandOhs a MSFS built in script for complex operations, such as a G1000 rotary.

I hope this helps you.
