My Honeycomb Alpha yoke recently broke. I currently have Prepar3D Flight Sim and a CH Products Eclipse yoke, which sticks when pushing or pulling. I found what looks to be a good replacement for the Honeycomb, it's a Turtle Beach yoke, about 50% more than the Honeycomb. The Turtle Beach yoke...

My yoke suddenly started getting sensitive in pitch around the neutral position. Also, the button that allows me to change viewpoint stopped working. (I know it's the yoke because my Eclipse yoke doesn't have that problem. I have an email in to Honeycomb-Aeronautical, but so far no response...

I was pursuing some aviation related porn and saw a plane with an engine with about 2300 hours, with a Top Overhaul with about 320 hours. What are the ramifications of not doing a full overhaul around 2000 hours? Is a top OH vs. full OH on an IRAN basis?

I used SyncToy, a free utility from Micro$oft for a long time, but it broke when I upgraded Visual Studio from 2019 to 2022. Reinstalling 2019 didn't solve the problem. I found this really fast backup software, FreeFileSync, but every time I run it, it corrupts the backup disk. It's getting...

I’m selling my 2020 RAV4. I prefer the Lexus I inherited from my wife to it and I only need one SUV. I almost fell for a scheme where they would give me a cashiers check, sight unseen , plus shipping costs. The problem is, and I never thought someone would try to pull it on me; it takes a...

I'll probably have to upgrade to Prepar3D V6 to fix this issue, but currently, I can fly my simulator for about 10 minutes before ATC is disable because the Electric Failed. I can save my progress, then exit and reload and the Electric works and ATC is enabled, for another 10 minutes. Has anyone...

I'm reading Ed Slott's book The New Retirement Savings Time Bomb. It has a lot of good info on how to keep the government from "SECURE"ing as much tax revenue from your estate as possible. I first heard about DUSE while reading this book, and apparently I had 9 months to file the form or the...

My sister is a Colorado real estate agent and she just did a video tour of a hangar home in Erie. What is a rough guesstimate of the cost to build a 100' X 100' hangar with tile floor and insulated walls and ceilings so I can see how if compares to comparable non-hangar homes. Thanks

I know adverse yaw is the nose moving in the opposite direction of the turn when you use ailerons to bank into a turn.. My first instructor said it was because the outside turn aileron moves down into denser air so creates more drag than the inside aileron moving up into less dense air...

And not the kind that eats fish. When I bought the car about 5 years ago, Tony, my mechanic said it would eventually need to be replaced. I’ve kept it under control with an additive that makes seals swell but it’s not working now. The car goes through a quart about every 100 miles. He’s not...

I've installed the software and watched the first flight video. I'm discovering there's a lot in between, some of which I've found. Is there a PIlotEdge QuickStqrt guide that fills in the gqp?

Has anyone gotten RealSimGear's GNS 430/530 working with Prep3D V5. RealSimGear isn't supporting that configuration anymore, but they do supply a legacy driver. After I install the driver, connect the cables, and reboot, I get a miniature screen on the 430 (all I'm working with now) and the...

I'll poke around after I post this, but someone might have already found a source for one. When we go to altitude 6000 feet will do it for sure, and maybe lower altitudes, my ears get plugged on the way down and even with my headset volume control set to max, I miss most of ATC transmissions...

I have the latest version of Spad.neXt. I use it to connect my simulation boxes to my flight simulator - Prepar3D V5. I'm running Windows 10 64 bit. I have a Saitek radio panel plugged into a specific USB port. If I plug my LogiTek Radio Panel into that port, it works. If I plug either box into...

It's probably due to Windows 10 updates, but now, at least most of the time when I load the sim and click anywhere in the sim window, I get an open dialog box error sound and nothing happens and as far as I can tell, there's no open simulator dialog box. Anyone else see this issue? and if you...

My wife recently passed and I'd like to preserve some of her voice mails a friend texted me. I emailed the audio files to my windows computer, but it doesn't recognize the iPhone's mda format. I did a quick internet search and didn't come up with a mda to mp3 converter. I'm hoping someone here...

Years ago, when we remodeled the hall bathroom, Tammy had an articulated makeup mirror installed. After she passed, a cleaning lady sprang a joint and it won't stay up. The contractor who installed it doesn't remember where he got it. There are any number of mirrors with vertical joints, but I...

Might eventually replace the poppet valves in our IC engines with barrel valves. These would be simpler, generate more power with the same displacement, allow higher revving engines, and probably not require as high an octane level. As these are still in the developmental stage, they'd probably...

I was raised in a ranch (home) on a ranch in KS. I bought and sold a ranch in Omaha and another one in So. CA. I currently live in a ranch in Silicon Valley and own another one in Livermore. When I first moved to Silicon Valley, I was taken by a Cape Cod, but it sold quickly, and I've done...

Has anyone ever done this successfully. I'm asking because as Windows 10 evolves, my Prepar3D v3 keeps having more issues. FSX:SE is already to the point that it won't save settings from one session to the next. I have a copy of the SportStar flight simulator model that only runs on Prepar3D v3...
