wain 879 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 So after @OzWookiee asked regarding SMP and Xenviro I decided to take the IXEG 737 to EGGD in some very cloudy conditions. This kind of cloud coverage I can not get with SMP, they never appear even on max settings to go all the way to the horizon...getting reasonable frames to only the odd drop but very flyable and usually mid to hig 20's and even up to about 35, but very smooth which is important......so all good now but I must bite the bullet and buy a really good responsive controller, last 2 cost £17 & £27, just need a stick, I like this but not sure if it's any good or available in the UK...... http://store-x-plane-org.3dcartstores.com/Gladiator-MK-II_p_595.html easy pushback....... easy climbing... easy cruz couds as far as I can see all ready for the landing, not so easy though.... getting a bit sideways...... I intially did a fly over then looped back and came in the other way, visabilty was down to about 1200ft, really enjoyed it though, even if I did stop off to left on grass.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
OzWookiee 151 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 That joystick @wain by all reports is fantastic. I've been following VKB, the producers of that stick, for a while now and they have an excellent rep. Want to replace my x52 pro with their Kosmo stick when it comes out.

brett 2,316 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I like the shots with the clouds but I think I like the combination of ASN and REX within FSX/P3D better, thanks for the nice pics. The joystick looks cool, a shame it doesn't have two buttons on top for trim though, I have always found that handy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Brett I can't argue with you there mate, I have AS16 and REX HD for P3D and it is light years ahead of anything in XP..... I also have to buttons on my cheapy joystick I use for trim, right at the top..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
