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’s the current AimxyZ settings I am using for FS2020 and FS2024, which I found it more comfortable to my eyes when flying small aircraft.

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
Found this video on Youtube and followed what he suggested on recalibrating my Rudder Peddles and Yoke even though they are not from Redbird — my Yoke is from VRInsight and Rudder from Saitek.
The result was surprisingly good. Not sure if it is Continue reading
Remember Alexey’s G Flight Yoke 180° modification and repair project in Post 586 ? He just notified me that the project has completed. 
The last step was to install the Leo Bodnar’s custom controller board instead of the broken Saitek’s board. As the result, the yoke kept 90% of its previous functionality except for the mode switch and the timer display. With the new board the yoke’s input became smoother, so the 180 degree rotation mod applied earlier now allows better control of the aircraft. The last mod will also help people whose yokes are broken to bring them back to life with the help of Leo Bodnar’s controller board, said Alexey.
Anyone interested in his project could see the videos showing the last modification and testing here: Continue reading
It’s almost four years since I purchased my last computer for flight simulation. It’s still 
working good. However, it’s commonly agreed that hardware for flight simulation is just like the song in the “The Greatest Showman” movie – Never Enough.
Cannot say it’s the best timing to upgrade but since my work computer (nearly 10 years old) acted a bit odd lately, I decided to substitute it with my current flight computer and purchase a new one for flight simulation.
The specs are: Continue reading
A friend having the same Asus X99 Deluxe II motherboard as I do last week 
phoned me if I had any idea why the Bluetooth on his system didn’t connect to any devices at all. He said all software were the latest.
In order to connect to his Bluetooth headphone, he had to use an external Bluetooth dongle, which was clumsy and not user-friendly.
I had my head scratches in the beginning as I hadn’t have the issue before. After a few Whatsapps, we together figured out it was Continue reading

After Logitech acquired Saitek, the entire Cessna Pro Flight line, including the highly praised Cessna Yoke, came to an end. Out of discontent with the limited 90-degree rotation on the long-existed G Flight Yoke, Alexey, the developer of FIP Toolkit and Customizer, decided to give it a 180° mod. Here’s the story.
After checking a few reviews on the existing flight simulator yokes on YouTube, I 
realized that my Logitech/Saitek G Flight Yoke needs to be modded.
The yoke’s rotation is limited to 90 degrees. I am not sure why Saitek decided to do it that way, but I wanted to have the proper rotation angle: 180 degrees, like on the professional yokes and on the real airplanes. So I bought a broken yoke (the main board seems to be fried) from a local guy and started to look for the ways to achieve my goal. Continue reading
While doing fine-tuning and waiting for fixes for the new P3Dv5, I continue to have my cockpit rebuilding going on as planned. Now is time for the gauge components that reaches a total of 12 FIPs stacking up on top of the HoneyComb Alpha Yoke (click image to see larger picture). They should be good enough for most of my light aircraft flightsimming requirements.
The 12 FIPs are hooked up to two electrical-powered USB hubs, which are then connected to my Surface Pro that is responsible for the operation and switching of the FIP gauges independently from the main computer. Continue reading
