Re: Head Tracker for your smart phone...

Well, I decided to risk a tenner and managed to get it working OK (with an inevitable fair bit of fiddling with the OC firewall and router settings to let the phone and PC talk to each other).

Re: Auto Pilot in FS2020

I've been trying to get to grips with the the Airbus 320 ap and while it's a real trial (especially as I'm not 100% with whole cockpit camera thing yet) it seems to work OK ish. The chalenge is the multi-position twist / pull switches but witha bit of practice it seems OK. There are some good Youtub...

Re: MSFS 2020 First Impressions

High Res Cities in FS2020

I thought this was a useful list showing all those cities that have high resolution 3D photogrammetry implemented in the FS2020 scenery. Sadly only Portsmouth and Southampton in the UK so far (hence all the debate over ORBX's London scenery).. https://se7en.ws/all-341-photorealistic-cities-in-micros...

Just to add a bit of balance. Here is ORB-X's comment on this, together with some with and without shots.... https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/198480-microsoft-flight-simulator-post-release/ I took the plunge and bought it anyway.
