column hardover to the left, the A/c goes round in circles!  Re-calibrating
gets nowhere.  I purchased a replacement Logitech but ...

I am running FSX Deluxe and my logbook is zeroed out each time I close the
simulator.  The "Awards" tab works just fine but not the "Logbook".  I have

that are overly sensitive to moisture. This problem was a known since
2006 and could easily be overcome by turning on the pitot heat prior

Just replied to an unread post dated 27 April.. "Navigation"...my 'date

I have FSX and I noticed that when I record a video and upon replaying it, I
noticed that the aircraft wheels, flaps and beacon are not showing up even
though they are down.
I am also having a hard time figuring out what intervals to set the video

This is a fantastic free program for displaying detailed maps and

Does anyone know what is the order of magnitude of boost that can be
obtained from the newly released ati HD4850 /70 in FSX, over a radeon
