    My grand kids use their switch all the time for their games, and I think for most of them that you have to enable the on screen keyboard via your device settings. You should maybe just hit the L key then to switch them on or off.

    Well the A320 has a 2 Wipers for each side. Their original intent would be to clear rain but I guess they could also clear a heap of bird poo. And in some cockpit videos you can actually bird poo on the windshield but I imagine you aren’t talking about a little spot of poo.

    Well we get Pelicans flying around our city and I would imagine that any hit from one of them could be a bit visually dangerous for an Aircraft.

    Probably a bit off topic but what do they do when a heap of bird poo lands on the windows? Do they ground the plane until a ground person gets up there on a ladder to clean it off or do they have a wiper/washer system?

    Hi All, I am enjoying the sim, have no complaints, and appreciate the hard work that has gone into it all. I have downloaded a fair bit of user created scenery over the years, and level 14 seems to be really good for displaying ground textures from about 2000 feet. I was wondering:-

    a. What level of scenery textures should we get from using global scenery.

    b. How do I tell if it is working or not.

    Sorry if this seems a bit bit of a dumb question, but thanks for any responses in advance. :)

    Thank you for your heads up Michael. I have tried this without success as some of those files in my AFS2 instal do not exist. My purchased copy is v1.0, so where is the vendor update to v 1.1 please? Does trisoftsim have a website or any update procedure. I am loathe to buy it again to find it is the same as my original purchase.

    As I get older I get less confident but .... Somehow my joystick settings for FS4 differ from those I have in FS2. I would like to fiddle with the FS4 settings to make them similar but first want to save the FS4 settings I have just in case it goes wrong. Is there a file that can be copied and backed up prior to my changing anything?

    I am really enjoying a lot of the new features of FS4.

    I do not have the Turtle Beach set up but I am getting either zero or 100% with my Airbus TCA stick throttle. If I move it up and down a few times it almost works properly but not all the time. I might try plugging my Logitech 3D Extreme back in if it has not been fixed by the time I return from my holidays on the 4th of July. (I am heading to Vanuatu for 10 nights tomorrow (Monday) for a bit of sunshine. It is 4C at 9am here now and a bit of warmth would not go astray).

    I realized when I tried it that I do not have the sim market 1.1 version and therefore the files were not named the same as your example. (I found a couple of blimp files in the pois1 sub directory). I think mine must be the 1.0 or freeware version that preceded the commercial release. However it still works fine in my FS2 install so thanks again for pointing out where I had seen it before. I also love the Pride of America ship that is there. I have been on that vessel a couple of times around Hawaii.

    I am not sure about all that as I do not fly helicopters. I was trying to fly in one particular sim where I found it was difficult to exactly control the throttle settings. I kept getting creep. Hence I bought my TCA sidestick and throttle quadrants. Even then, I had issues with calibration, but In general though I think my TCA is better than my old Extreme 3D pro. More accurate. I can see why some GA folk would want a yoke if they were actually learning to fly for real with one.
