No offense to those who are asking about button assignments but isn't the whole point of flying a simulator to learn where all of the controls are and making the adjustments with the knobs and switches? Assigning buttons to do all of the work, kinda takes the fun (and learning) out of the sim and turning it into a game, rather than a great learning tool as it is. Sure, it's convenient to have those buttons ready to press when needed, but maybe it's just me and the old school attitude that you know where all your controls are and use them in place. My argument of sorts is about flying in the 3D cockpit and getting familiar with where everything is, just like you would in a real cockpit or flightdeck. We only have so many buttons so the reliance on assigning everything to everything is not ideal. I should have clarified my remarks, by stating that for those who use all-in-one controllers (no panels), there has to be some compromise on what is important to assign.
Jokes aside, yes I do get the need for button and switch assignments for panels and that is legit in it's own right. I was wondering when we'd get a response from the home cockpit builders. I still use some buttons and knobs in the cockpit, but I absolutely love being able to reach for hardware switches and buttons. I've likely forgotten a bit.ĭepending on the aircraft I'm flying, I can use my controls (and a wood framework of 2X4's and 1x4's) to emulate near accurate control placement of many different cockpit styles.
Add to that a Saitek trim wheel (which has found new life with X-Plane, works really well), a Saitek TPM for aircraft with vernier controls, an few extra Saitek TQ's to place for various oddball throttle configs, a Saitek switch panel to use when I pull the console out to fly with a stick, a X-55 TQ (the stick died awhile back) to use for left hand throttles, some homemade panels with dual concentric rotary switches, and lets see. I have a PFC Cirrus II yoke console, retrofitted with a pair of Leo Bodnar usb boards, that has enough switches to run all major functions on a twin. (I have a problem, and I can admit it.) :smile:

New and updated global airports: now a total of 8,247 full 3-D airports, including hundreds of new and improved airports in this release. Situation files get you close to landmarks for quick sight seeing. New UI for manually setting joystick curves per axis. Updated airspace to 2018 & Navigraph default data 1708. Shader system rebuilt as part of port to Vulkan. Improved industrial zones in US autogen & reorganized library. This fixes real weather downloading.Īutopilot & aircraft systems updates includes: Propeller feathering, Anti- and de-ice systems, Oxygen system, Vacuum systems and many others. These are just some of the major features included in the update to X-Plane 11.32. X-Plane 11.32 continues this evolution by incorporating the newest technology available in computing and graphics processing, resulting in breathtaking visual and dynamic effects. Over the years it has always been the policy of Laminar Research to continually improve X-Plane, providing the most realistic flight simulation available, with flight modeling so accurate that it has been adopted by numerous commercial aviation organizations. X-Plane 11.32 continues the evolution of the desktop version of X-Plane. including the Aerosoft CRJ-200 and Daytona Beach and Zurich airports from Aerosoft NOW Available for a limited time only: "X-Plane special bundle.
