MJOY_V13 Revisited - POV (HAT) Joystick

By Ronald Prindle

Back in December of 2016, I posted the success story of my D.I.Y. FSX Yoke and Rudder Pedals, which I have been flying for years now. It was based on the MJoy USB Project whereby I learned a lot about exactly what "controls" I really needed to fly, verses what I wanted on my flight control fixture.

Recently, I had the good fortune to try out a CH Products Yoke and Rudder Pedals, also both connected by a USB interface, actually I repaired issues in both these well used devices. As I checked all the features of the CH Products, I grew to like the Point-Of-View HAT Switch and wondered if my homemade controller had such a feature already built into it that I did not take advantage of? Well, it does!

Thus, came the revision 6 of my MJoy 1.3 Yoke, based on an old Radios Shack "switch-type" joystick and let me tell you, it works fine!

The attached zip file contains all the documentation I have on the subject as well as the original firmware MJoy13.ASM file that has served me well all the hours of flying FSX.

Enjoy!

ATC Communications Layout - Gate to Gate

By FlightSim Files

ATC Communications Layout - Gate to Gate. ATC Communications Layout of VATSIM. I put this together for those that are new to VATSIM or for those that have wanted to try VATSIM for some time but may have been a bit apprehensive about getting started. This could be due to the termonology/comminication aspects of VATSIM and not so much the flying itself. Having to interact with controllers can be somewhat daunting. I hope this small two page approach breaking down the various phases of communication between yourself and VATSIM controllers will help you understand just how easy and enjoyable VATSIM can be. I hope you find this helpful. By Michael Swannick.
