I went over to X-Plane a while ago Alan with no regrets, I also have P3D v4.5 but don't use it much.. One good thing about X-Plane is there is a huge amount of freeware available, great if you are on a budget. Have a look at: https://forums.x-plane.org to get a flavour.

I was a flitter and then one day I sat down and worked out how much I spent on fs addons. Frightening! So now I have rules, if the RAF didn't fly it, then I don't. It has saved me money, and has concentrated my mind on just a few aircraft although I still found myself accumulating aircraft very rapidly. Now I have a ban on new aircraft until I can fly all I have very well. I have a lot of work to do...... The whole set of constraints falls apart when I start to look at what I spend on scenery, hardware and other addons.....

I use a real Tornado bomber landingear leaver and indicator gauge on my sim. They need a 20 v supply to power the lights in the gauge and the solenoid in the gear leaver. My solution was to use a 19v printer power supply, a bank of relays and an arduino card. The relays are quite noisy as they are physical switches, the mofset solution will be much less clunky!

I have completed a few flights with Volanta using X-Plan 11.5 now and this is what I have found: There is a plugin that runs in the background and reports you flight to Volanta which records times, altitude, and position to record a flight and then provides that data for you from their server on an aircraft basis. So to start with you have to register an aircraft with, in X-Plane, ICAO code and registration number. This means you can effectively log each skin for each aircraft you have. To fly, you first pick a registered aircraft and then record your flight as you go. You can loa

I will give it a go today I hope.
