Another great episode.
I happen to have a TrackIR as well and can’t seem to get my settings quite right, care to share your configuration? Maybe it will show me where I’m going wrong with my setup.

I just make sure my reader and head thing are on the same level and basically lined up with each other, and then the axis’ that I have the most trouble with I turn up the sensitivity.
Nice episode! I’m always looking forward to the next one!
Thanks, Tim! Throttle On, Buddy.
Another good Instrutional vid How can I Copy All of your Videos to my hard drive so that I can go over the Lessons at my lessure
I just want to thank you for these training videos. As you said, the Basics of Flight, are the starting point for becoming an aviator. These instructional videos are some of the most in depth training tools I have found on the net. Thank You. I look forward to your continuing instruction.
I’m glad you’re enjoying them John!

I have been flying FS for more years than I can remember, with a little RW flying thrown in when I can afford it, and I have to say that I find your training videos not only informative, but entertaining, Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Wow, what a compliment! Thanks for that, Terry.
I love the scenery.
Hey Andrew,
It’s ORBX NA Blue. I believe they are releasing it today. Check it out at http://www.fullterrain.com
That’s a great Forced Landing there Chris. Excellent video. Love that scenery too.
Could I ask you what Specifications the machine (PC) is that these videos are shot on? Processor, Ram, GPU etc. I amongst others would love to know ?
cheers
Paul.

Trim is super important in instrument conditions!
Amen, Simon.
Im loving aviator 90, excellent job Chris!
Cheers
Alex
Another great episode, Chris! Do you use a force feedback controller? If not, how do you judge when/how much trim to apply?
This is exactly why I find it so hard to know how to trim in FS. Really the only thing you can do is guage this based on what your instruments are telling you, and then at that ‘sweet spot’ keeping the horizon at the same level out the window.
Hope that helps?
Hi Chris,
Really only head about these from the FSBreak podcast that I came across last week.
Although I do have both your training DVD’s and I’d like to say they were the best investment to flying Boeing glass aeroplanes. (I think i’m going to buy the MD-11 DVD even though I don’t have the PMDG MD-11!!!)
Superb series, really enjoying them.
Many Thanks,

Glad you enjoyed our past products, Hayden!
It’s also awesome to hear that you heard about us on FSbreak. Those guys rock.
Chris,
Thank you for putting this all together. I’ve been into flight sim since the release of FSX, and i can’t get enough of it. It even inspired me to start my PPL training last year. (might i add, before that, i was the one who swore NEVER to step foot onto an airplane? !!) I thoroughly enjoy your project and have been tellin ppl about it on the forums i frequent, ie ( BC North * VA and FS Airlines)
I also have been a fan of FSBReak for almost a year now , since i got my ipod touch and discovered Podcasts.
All in all, keep up the great work, your an inspiration man!
Mike in BC
Wow, thanks a ton, Mike! It’s nice to see that you are enjoying it
This series is meant to serve the community and when I hear stories of it actually working, it makes me very happy!
What a story you have! Not wanting to get in an airplane to not getting enough of it! You don’t hear that every day. Very cool, man.
Silly question.. are you using light bloom?
This series is one of the best thing for FS (and it’s not even an addon
!
Thanks! I generally don’t use lightbloom but I do in some of the cinematic shots. In this episode it is used a bit, yes.
Glad you’re liking the videos! Spread the word!
Throttle On!
