You probably know by now that I have a serious case of 'show and tell' syndrome. So I just wanted to show you what I've been up to today ;-) So far I've made 6 instruments which could possibly be used for lightplanes. The instruments include depth-oriented components and face-glasses which sho

Hello, I assume David Culp is the maintainer of the PC-7 !? I realized that you have to push the stick heavily in order to achieve level flight. Could someone tell me which knob to adjust in order to make this behave a bit more realistic ? Thanks, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it'

I need country and state/province fields to be included in the X-Plane data so that I can sort and filter airports by country and state/province. I thought of filtering by ICAO but that is not 100% accurate because 3 letter IATA codes are GLOBAL. (e.g. London Heathrow = LHR) If it was just the 3
