  1. If you look at the pics I posted, in the "engine control" page there are two lines for "auto radiator" and "auto mixture". There is no key assigned in the default controls, but you can add one. I hadn't realized yet where it was as I always flew " the real thing " from start. Also note that if you engage the full autopilot - hand off your plane control to the AI - ( default A ) it will automatically adjust radiator flaps and mixture. EDIT : I found what I was looking for ( forgot about it since I didn't go there since a long time ) : All difficulty setting
  2. Some local info : http://australianaviation.com.au/2017/02/aircraft-crashes-at-essendon-airport/ http://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/news/plane-crash-at-melbourne-airport/news-story/96278ddf2d5cb871f6bad77a17a0d331
  3. It's only the early radials on two specific aircrafts that run full blast. Generally speaking though it's better to start with inline engines as radials need to have mixture control ( although there must be an option somewhere to put it on auto like the radiator flaps if you don't want to bother in the first times ) and you don't have the engine torque to deal with. Another tricky thing with the blip switch is that you can only use it very briefly ( although you can repeat the ignition cut-off ) if you hold it too long your engine might just die. I will let you discover that it's
  4. Just forgot in my controls to state I was using the joystick coolie hat for zooming in and out pilot's view. Left and right are not in use.
  5. Radiator : used on most inline german engines from the Albatros DII onwards ( water cooled ) There is a temperature gauge and you use the control to open/close radiator flaps to keep the temperature around 60° C - full open when climbing, half open for level flight, closed when diving. If it gets too hot, you will have a white smoke and your engine can be damaged, if too cold your engine can stop - If I remember there is an option somewhere to put this on auto. You can have one also on some french planes like the Spads. Basically you can consider it is the ancestor of later "cowl flaps"
  6. OK here are some pics that might help you ( better than a long speech... ) General graphics setting ( launcher ) for me : General settings ( in game options ) Control settings : there are 3 possible controls for same action - to remove one click on the "x" top right of the box, to add one click on the box and press the key or joystick axis/button. Controller response curve - you can set a curve for each plane, or make it simple like me by creating only one for all planes. Mine has a 10% dead zone and a S curve
  7. It does end there, I have no interest whatsoever in arguing about politics, there are many more important matters in life. The only good thing is that it usually gives me a good laugh every morning reading the news and the comments on social networks. And I must admit I have almost as much fun these days with our candidates to the president elections in France as with your own president.
  8. OK, sorry, it's just an alternative fact then...
  9. What has France to do with Sweden ? And nothing like this happened in France either on Friday night ... The fact there have been past terrorists attacks anywhere in the world doesn't make a lie become true. Or maybe it's just another of these "alternative facts" ?
  10. Like hearing about terrorist attacks in Sweden ...
  11. Same as Wain, I had GEX / UTX ( everywhere except Australia/NZ ) installed long before ORBX, and had no problem installing my ORBX regions over it. You only have to follow the ORBX install instructions for some regions where you need to deactivate a couple of files in UTX for possible night lighting conflict.
  12. As I have no plan to buy additional ORBX stuff in the near future, I stayed so far with my FTX Central 2 version. I will make the update and transfer whenever I need something new, this will give them some more time to hunt the bugs. Like Wain, I also still use GEX + UTX outside the ORBX full regions I'm flying ( Australia, NZ, England, Wales, Scotland and the whole Pacific coast - NRM PNW PFJ and SAK ) When it ain't broke, don't fix it !
  13. It's all there : http://www.reuters.com/article/us-alpine-world-swiss-idUSKBN15W1HD
  14. Nice shots the Bella Coola valley is a great scenery and I often fly AH deliveries around there, also at the seaplane base. The plane looks great too, but my fleet is already flying Cessna twins in this class of airplanes.
  15. Matt, I've been flying Rise of Flight SP and MP for years so if I can help... I never had any problem with the setup, I'm using a T16000M joystick, my Saitek pedals and my Saitek quadrant controls for throttle, mixture and radiator ( so sending you my setup file won't help much if you don't use the same controls ). WW1 planes are not very sophisticated so not that many controls to configure. I never had a problem with my Track IR 5 either, I only made a specific profile to use a joystick button for centering view in flight. You can PM me with your questions and I can try to answ
  16. 3 hours random flying with AP ? Hope you had a good book... Pics look good !
  17. Nice flight, way too early for me on a Sunday ! (or any other day... ) I always fly real time / real weather...
  18. Thks for this nice french Staggerwing ! Downloaded and installed...
  19. I appreciate and use both of them... the Islander is cheaper to buy and operate, but the Twotter can take almost twice the payload ( 2700 lbs against 1400 lbs iirc )
  20. Nice pics ! I've been using a similar livery with same registration for my payware Flight 1 Islander.
  21. Anyone interested in loading some good wine ? Here is a new freeware scenery of Bordeaux LFBD including military base BA 106 and nearby industrial zone : http://aquitaine.simulation.free.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=48
