  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Winwing Orion2 throttle (UK bargain)

Orion 2 base with F-18 throttle grips currently available in UK for 181 GBP, direct from Winwing.
Mine took just 3 days to arrive :)

They have the F-15 grips for slightly more but on back-order (over a month).
If you need a joystick you get an extra discount on the bundle.

I was looking at S/H Warthog throttles on EBAY for not much less, then Amazon reduced the new one to 180 but then I found the Orion for almost the same price and a much newer design...was concerned it would take a month to come from China, but just 3 days from Manchester.

First impressions are very impressive - it's HUGE, much more than just a throttle...slightly daunting even!

FS24 doesn't map anything by default and I still find it a nightmare to map in the FS24 menus...the Winwing software (SimAppPro) does offer a mapping file for FS24 to download but I haven't been able to get that to take effect. :(

It seems AxisAndOh's or similar is the best option...one vote below for AxisAndOh's...

Keith, I have never used Simapppro. I have used FSUIPC, SPAD.next, and Axis & Ohs. For me, Axis & Ohs is mostly easy and powerful. For a beginner the UI is rather easy to learn. It is, however, powerful under the hood. With it you can write custom Scripts to do anything you want. I have found that using the Event viewer, Variables viewer, and the Behavior tool from the Dev's menu I can find just about anything. ... If you go the Axis & Ohs route this kid 's videos are very educational. I have been using third party addons for 30 years, ever since the early versions of FSUIPC. This kid taught me in an afternoon more than I have learned in 30 years.

SimPit Foundry

A place where we discuss the process by which we can build our own home cockpits for use in flight sims and space games. Using tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, and programmable devices like Arduinos. Making a sim pit is a multidisciplinary journey and I hope this channel can be a place...

This first thing I want to do beyond simple mapping is to get the AzurePoly Jaguar HUD and Weapons panel onto the HOTAS, but there are no key-presses for this, just mouse clicks...sounds like A&O will facilitate this.
