My current AimxyZ settings for FS2020 and FS2024 have been slightly changed to cope with the updates in graphics, which I found more comfortable to my eyes when flying with small aircraft.
This is my settings for FS2020:

Here are two short videos to share with those who are interested to find out how my newly purchased wireless and attachment-free eye-tracking device AimxyZ are working with FS2020 and FS2024 in my system.
This is with FS2020
Despite the differences between FS2020 and FS2024, I am currently using the same profile set of my Stream Deck XL for both simulators.
From the Stream Deck profiles I was describing in Post 846, I set to load a home page called MSFS_INFO_C172 automatically when FS2020 is run.
In order to load the same profile set for FS2024, what I did was to duplicate the same home page and rename it as MSFS_INFO_C172_FS2024, and then assoicate the new page with FlightSimulator2024.exe. 
Now, Continue reading

During P3D days, I built a 3-monitor system. I changed it to a single-monitor setup after switching to MSFS 2020 since the flight simulator in the first two years didn’t support multi-monitor function at all. I kept using one monitor up to today.
Within these single-monitor flightsim days, I used TrackIR for a brief period and gave it up due to its clumsiness with wires and clips. Since then, I’d been using the POV Hat Switch on the yoke for camera and focus pannings until two weeks ago.
I found an eye-tracking device called AimxyZ by a Chinese company. 
Probably some of you have already heard about it or may even be using it, because the product was actually in the market for over two years.
Unlike the TrackIR which uses a tracking transceiver and a passive or an active reflector, the AimxyZ comes with only one dedicated viewcam, thru which users can quickly translate their head movements to the simulators (or games) via the tracking software provided. Continue reading
Last June in my Post 774, when I talked about the Elgato Stream Deck XL in my DIY cockpit, I mentioned that I would share my profiles when they are properly-tuned. Pardon me, I completely forgot about it until a friend, Nick, who recently asked me for a copy of it. 
So, here is what this Post is all about and the download link is included for those who are interested to play mine. Continue reading
Like many friends, my system has an Elgato Stream Deck so that I can minimize the needs of using keyboard and memorizing hotkeys. The device had been working pretty well until recently I found it behaving erratic with intermittent non-responding 
errors when switching profiles.
I tried reinstalling the app and restoring from previous profile backups. I took various ideas and suggestions from the Internet, too. All attempts were futile.
After many weeks of trying, I decided to reinstall everything and create all profiles from scratch again, hoping that would solve the issue.
During re-creating the first few profiles, I eventually found out the real cause behind the non-responding errors that was troubling me. Continue reading
Elgato Stream Deck may not be a stranger to you. The first time I heard about it was from Philippe AKA 1L2P in his Cockpit story last June. Frankly, I didn’t pay attention to it at all until I saw a demo in a shopping arcade a few months ago. I was amazed. 
Now it has become one of the indispensable accessories in my computer system, not just for flight simulation. Continue reading
After received my second RD1 unit, I immediately swapped it with the first one being used in my main system. Assuming it could run directly straight out from the box. Sadly, no, it didn’t.–
Truly, the joystick axes for the rudders and brakes are the same. But the new RD1 performed far from normal using the calibration from the first RD1.
The Rudder Axis wasn’t centered at rest. And the left and right Brake Axes were jumping up and down and didn’t return to zero when released, meaning that the toe brakes were somehow pressed all the time.
Obviously, the two RD1s are two individual equipment and they couldn’t be treated as the same unit. Initial calibration for each individual RD1, therefore, was mandatory and inescapable. Continue reading
