You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! We are really going to challenge you guys in later episodes. This is the easy stuff
Hi Chris,
“…challenge your shortcomings…” that is a good advice. I’m enjoying this Cessna 152 stuff, though I’m doing it with the 172. S-turns weren’t easy but right point-turns are harder for me. Think I’m going to try it with the 737
Hehe. Get your binoculars! That 737 turn could travel through 4 states!
funnest? lol = most fun
im just kidding dont take it harshly… lookin forward to the next one! woohoo
You know me, I’m not one for all the proper terms and grammar.
You can go watch boring videos if you want! (hehe)
This one looks like fun! I really enjoy these episodes!
Chris, which airport is this?
Once again, great video!

Thanks! That’s great fun. I bought PNW and it’s just so exciting to see buildings and cars and other objects placed in locations where you’d expect them!
Very nice episode Chris. Many thanks for all your work! Aviator 90 is FANTASTIC!

Ted,
You don’t know how much that encouragement means to me having worked all these long hours. A really appreciate you chiming in and I always love hearing your comments.
PNW just amazes me everyday. I find a cool new little feature that adds character. Just awesome.
I’m glad you’re having fun!
Talk to you soon and….
THROTTLE ON!
As with all your vids Chris,Very well done! Thanks very much!!Wow are we a third of the way through the series allready?
Throttle On!!!!
Yeah, it’s kinda hard to believe, eh? We’re going to be halfway done here soon. I’ve never worked so hard in my life, but I really believe in this and believe in the difference it can make. So, I Throttle On!
Thanks man
Chris,
Am really enjoying your videos, just wondering what kind of head tracking device you are using to make these videos? I have noticed that in all your videos when looking from straight ahead to somewhere in the cockpit or to somewhere outside that the scrolling is smooth and very natural… pretty close to how it looks in a real cockpit.
I tried Track-IR 5 and just could not get it adjusted or tuned in to where it wasn’t jerky or erratic. I called their tech support, but I still was not able to slow it down and make a smooth transition from say straight ahead to a look out the right side. I wound up reurning the product because of this.
Thanks,
Jerry

Hey Jerry,
I started out with a TrackIR3, somehow got myself into a TrackIR4 (I don’t even remember buying it) and it seems to be working REALLY well for the first time.
Here are a few tips that really helped me.
1. Head tracking device in line with the reader on the monitor (same level, straight on).
2. 75% smoothing and .6 percent speed.
3. Lots of practice.
That is really what did it for me. Not sure if this would help now that you don’t have it, but it’s a cool little device.
ALSO, there is a new piece of software I just LOVE called EZdok. This is basically like a TrackIR without the TrackIR. You can purchase it over at http://www.flight1.com and you can also checkout videos on the product page, I believe.
