PROBLEM SOLVED Thanks to everyone for the replies... The only problem was that the pin needles on the quadrant were bent and not connecting to the yoke properly. It did still work (i.e the green light came on) but all the pins obviously weren't in contact. Cheers, George

School was due to start again tomorrow (after Xmas holidays) but has now been closed for tomorrow! Had a good few inches of snow last night - really started hammering down around 10pm. Hope everyone else is managing okay... Stay Safe! George

^^ Backed up, indeed, Mut!

WE HAVE A WINNER Some excellent entries. Although this one from John made me laugh the most! (Referring to a previous entry) Well done, John - over to you now! Cheers, George

Supposed to reach Surrey too and we're forecasted snow tonight and heavy snow tomorrow night (20-30 cm). Apparently London is preparing now too. Be careful and Good luck to anyone who has to travel! Cheers, George

Thanks for that round, Mike! Here's the next picture, which I recieved in an email a little while ago!

Simi, You're right. I bought the Yoke System - which is like a yoke and throttle combined. In that case, I'm not too sure whether they should have seperate drop down titles or not. I think I may just have to wait for a reply from their support, as it may just be faulty hardware. Cheers, George

Thanks Joe and simi for the replies Firstly, Joe - the throttle quadrant has a din-pin (?) round socket rather than a USB (like on the old PS2 mice.) There are two similar sockets on my PC (one purple, one green) but it doesn't seem to fit into either of them - yet it fits with ease into the hub on the side of the yoke. I will have another go, but I don't want to force it. Secondly, simi - I understand exactly what you mean (as I also have the rudder pedals), but when I go into the control panel - in the drop down list, I see only the pedals and the yoke system - there is no quadrant . I

Hi all, I hope that you all had a very happy christmas :biggrin: I've just installed the Saitek Yoke and throttle quadrant pack. The Yoke is connected to the PC via USB and the quadrant is connected to the hub on the side of the yoke. In FSX and in the game pads testing facility in the Windows control panel, the yoke works fine, with all the buttons working too, but the throttle just doesn't work. I know that the throttle is connected properly because a green light appears on it, indicating that it is connected, although none of the levers nor the buttons function. I thought at first that

Merry Christmas to all at Mutley's! :biggrin: All the best for the new year too! George

:bday: Happy Birthday, John. :biggrin: Regards, George

Merry Christmas, Dai Take care and good luck with the move Regards, George

Glad to see you're enjoying it. Some nice screens too! Cheers, George

:great: The shot approaching the carrier is a prize screenshot! Top notch screens .. Cheers, George

REALLY nice! FS9 to its full potential I think! :great: Cheers, George

hmm.. difficult to choose... GA - Carenado PA-28 Arrow IV Civil - E-Jets Embraer 170/190 Scenery - Earthsimulation's Alderney Freeware - AI Traffic (AI Aardvark, Evolve AI, Fruitstand) Extra - Aerosoft's Madeira/Ibiza X, UK2000scenery Xtreme series Cheers, George

Those colours are really amazing, Rob. Definately something nice to look at on a flight. I'm looking forward to some nice channel islands routes when Earthsimulations finish the whole channel island series ... Thanks for sharing ...

Some excellent shots there, Joe. Nice livery too "Fab!" Cheers, George

Beautiful - that is an awesome carrier!

Looks like great fun As for the shots, I really love the shot with the two aircraft a way behind with glowing lights and also the reflections on the water 5th-to-last (i think) shot! Cheers, George

Particularly like the wing-view cruising shot .. beautiful horizon! Cheers, George

Love the shots with that very blue ambiance, shot 4, for example. Nice! Cheers, George

Yet more evidence of bad shopping experience on Ebay as two young gentlemen don't receive quite what they expected!

Lovely shot, Rob. Very crisp and refreshing. Santa will hopefully be bringing this for me, how's it fly? Cheers, George

Thanks for all your comments! Cheers,
