Been a While

Postby jastheace » Mon Jul 05, 2021 3:20 pm

Well it has been awhile since i posted anything, far from the heady days of multiple daily posts, but with a change in job (now work for myself as a driving instructor) and abit more spare time i am getting back into the flight simming, i have gone and brought a honeycomb alpha and bravo controls to replace my saitek gear, which is for sale by the way, a flight yoke and three throttle units, all work well.

I have been using MSFS and absolutely love flying it, and the pc i have covers it well. The airbus is great and so is the king-air. best part is it looks like the payware guys are starting to crack the code to get their planes working. looking forward to the POMDG's and such.

so hopefully you will see some more screenshots and posts from me as i go

glad to be back, but missing old firends no longer with us

Hello Jason - did you have to wait long for the Honeycomb gear? I keep checking but it seems to always be on pre-order. I want a complete set so I can resuscitate my Classic FS on the other flying machine, where the rumblies live.

Cheers

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

well it was, but NZ Post managed to deliver a saturday delivery on tuesday, and a next day delivery due tuesday hopefully today (thursday) seems since the new brand has come in they have forgotten how to route parcels :P

I will put up my thoughts once i have got them both setup and in use.
