Thank you for your response. What about flying as a group. Doesn't everyone talk to each other as they fly? In iracing I can communicate with the other drivers as we race. I press a button and talk. In Flight Sim I don't have a button so I can't figure out how the video explain what to say to the tower but not how to make contact. Thanks again

You mean I don't actually communicate with the tower?

I found the ATC window and it tells me what to say to the tower. However I don't have a button to push to talk. Is there somewhere that I go to get my microphone on my headset to work. Thanks again

I am testing the theory that there is no stupid question. How do I talk to on the radio? I can hear the tower but how do I respond? Thanks

I am using my T5/6 toggle switch on my Logitech Pro Throttle Quadrant. I did notice that if I hold the switch down to long the flaps move 100% so I just tap it and release it and everything is fine. Hopes this helps

The Commodore 64 had 64k (that's kilobytes) of RAM, which is why it was called the Commodore 64 and not the Commodore 2000, which is what it would have been if it it had 2Mb. I think you are mistaken.

 

If you wanted to run any game or in my case a Bulletin Board, you needed an external hard drive. That really gave you a lot of memory because each floppy (5 1/4") held 170K !

How do you move the flaps one setting at a time? I have ask this question and I have seen others ask this question. Here is how I solved this problem for myself.

I am using the Logitech/Saitek Throttle Quadrant.

The toggle switch under the Mixture lever (red handle) is T5/T6. Pressing the switch up is T5 and pressing down is T6. I assigned T5 to Decrease flaps and I assigned T6 to Increase flaps

If I want the flaps to move only one setting I press and release the toggle switch. If I want the flaps to move all the way either up or down I hold the switch longer.

Hope this helps anyone like myself who is just starting.

The Blue is most likely set for Prop Pitch which will come in handy when you fly a variable propeller pitch aircraft

 

Thank you. I was able to find the options to assign levers and buttons. Got the parking brake toggle set and it works. However, I am unable to set the four flap settings on the blue lever. I can set it so the flaps go down without stopping and go up without stopping but I can't seem to assign a 25%, 50% or 75%. It either all or none. Still trying

Bought my first copy of Flight Simulator back when it came on a floppy disk. Played for a while and then life got in the way and haven’t been able to play since. After being retired for the past 16 years I found out about iracing and was hooked immediately. Bought a gaming computer fit to run iracing, a wheel and pedals and can’t believe how real it feels to race. Now, the guys I race with started talking about the new Flight Sim game and when I checked it out it brought back good memories. So, I bought a Logitech Saitek Pro Flight Yoke and Throttle Quadrant System, bought and downloaded the flight Simulator program and away I go. I have been able to take off and fly around my home town. Landing is another thing. Now for some questions;

 

1- How do I program the middle throttle, (blue) to work as the flap controller? The black throttle control works and the red mixture works but I see nothing from the blue controller.

2- How do I program all the buttons on the yoke and throttle? In iracing I was able to assign the buttons on the wheel from the options setting, but I haven’t found that here.

Thank you

I would really like to have some type of doc's for this simulator also. I am a complete beginner and I

don't want to just sit in the cockpit and look around!
