Soon (-er than the sharks) to enjoy some last wtf flights

Alicante

Soon™

Approaching FRA...

God all these crj's on Vatsim... And like 1/3 of them completely messes up everything...

Update of the Lufthansa A320 NewColours Pack finished, just waiting to be able to update it should be out in the next days

EDDP - EDDS EDDS - EDDB

Old, but gold

KRK-FRA-MAN-FRA and that's it for the next weeks I love that RNP Y haha Down in Manchester: And on the way back home somewhere near AMS:

My feedback on the Cat3Design Tiller - In full transparency I paid for the tiller unit and Nobby has asked me to be honest in my feedback and he has NOT seen (nor have I discussed/reviewed it with him) this prior to me posting it here. I'll cut to the chase now... I really like the tiller, as it is much more effective, controlling and feels 'normal' then when I was using the T160000M twist axis as the tiller. I used to constantly have oversteer in the 319...not anymore. The deflection angles on the Cat3Design tiller match to the FSL tiller deflection marks when it is being used. I've had no issues controlling the 320, 321 nor 319. Not being a real Airbus pilot I cannot state if the resistance to turning the tiller (Left/Right) and feedback from the tiller is correct and realistic. The unit is lightweight, has a leather-like (it may be leather but dunno) top in Airbus blue color. The size of the unit is nicely proportioned as my palm naturally rests on the unit when using the tiller. The 4 way hat switch located under the front edge of the tiller arm/finger falls under your left index finger and is easy to operate. Is it worth the extra $$$ to get the hat switch, dunno....to me since I do not use Chaseplane or TrackIR it comes in handy for me and was worth getting that option. Aesthetically, in my opinion, the unit looks fine and I am not bothered by the black screws on the side of the unit and honestly you do not see the screw for the hat switch (unless you have the unit turned upside down to operate). A 3m USB cable is included and set-up was a snap. The unit must first be calibrated via Windows Game Controller PRIOR to launching P3D. Setting up in the new FSL Input Commands dialog was very easy. No setup instructions were included. In chatting with Nobby realizes setup instructions are needed and is creating a YouTube video on connecting and setting up the unit. Is it worth the cost, for me it is as I said earlier the immersion level is top notch and along with the previous reasons. Shipping to the US took just about 4 weeks due to Covid shipping delays. Here are some pics of the unit -

My tiller also arrived last night. I was going to post pictures but its identical to all the others photos that were previously posted by our peers so instead i will share my thoughts. I have been looking for a high quality reasonably priced tiller for a few years now. Seems i have found exactly what i was look for with Nobby's tiller. Its made from high quality materials and designed to exacting specifications - each detail appears to be matching the real tiller in the 'bus. While i have never actually flown a real 'bus, i have been in the flightdeck before and I can say this appears to be a very convincing reproduction of the real thing. Setup was super easy using the tutorials that Nobby uploaded to his youtube channel - it took only a few minutes before i was up and running. And once i was.....I was so impressed with the experience. The tiller is amazing - it feels great in your hand and steers the aircraft around the ground in a very realistic manner. Tension is good, increasing as the tiller moves thru the radius, always returning to zero without any springiness. But most importantly, it adds another layer of realism to the whole flightsim experience. The FSLabs bus is so immersive to begin with, its hard to enhance the experience. But nobby has managed to build on it, capturing the spirit of ground movements in a very convincing manner with this amazing piece of hardware. I am so happy I stumbled across the forum post.....the tiller was the one area of my flightsim setup that was lacking.....but thanks to Nobby, my cockpit is now complete. Thanks Nobby - keep up the great work!

Yesterday I also received my Tiller and would now like to give feedback after the first test. After setting up the Tiller as described in the instruction video, it is ready for use in a short time. With the FSLabs it works great and precise. The Tiller automatically pushes back and centers itself when you release the force of the steering. In Areosoft A330, I have not gotten it set yet. About the dimensions, the Tiller is about 16X16 cm wide or long and 5 cm high The width of the handle is 8 cm and lies well in the hand When using the Tiller, the base does not slip, as there are also 4 non-slip nubs underneath and it also stands stable due to its weight. Overall, the Tiller is an asset to virtual flying, it works as it should with the FSLabs. The delivery to Germany was one week. Thank you @Nobby Fukui for the hassle free transaction. You have created a class product. I can only recommend it

Homebase Munich: And approaching Alicante:

Bit more progress

Flying a short hop with VQ-BKS. UUEE-UWGG

CFG8AC, FRA-SPC

Leaving SSH for almost 5hr flight back to Zurich

If its an A350 the sim world would explode.
