Finally some flights with MSFS2020

Post by Wayne Pierce »

Finally got off the ground with the new controls, Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and the Beta Throttle. They were a real pain in the ___ to program for MSFS2020. All the tutorials assumed that I knew how to operate the the MSFS Game/Simulator. I spent a lot of time learning how to use the program and then how to configure anything at all. Still a work in progress.

One of the first flights without any problems I made in New Zealand. This is one of my favorite places, Virtually, and in the real world as I have been there.

I used the PMDGB738 for MSFS2020, Quantas livery for a test flight.

A couple of pictures of the aircraft and one of the cockpit. A screenshot of the monitors makes one very wide picture.

This is from the center fold down seat. I have 3 monitors in my FS cockpit and the full screen really does the job of putting one there.

I also use the Cockpit when I fly P3Dv5, and I have configured almost all the buttons for cockpit use. I don't have to use the mouse for most of the functions.

Thanks for looking.
