  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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 !
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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!
