Glenn in the UK once cleared his very large Logitech setup to basically zero. Now he comes back with a moderate setup that gives him almost complete control over the G1000 suite.

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:

Still full of frustration when playing the buggy FS2024.
About a month ago, I started getting the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006) error when loading some airports I frequently visited in the past.
The notorious error was reported by many players. Although there are many suggestions for the issue, such as changing the values of some specific registries, etc, none of them helps in my case.
What I am doing now to Continue reading
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
Roland (DuRo55) is a member of the well-known German flying community FRIESENFLIEGER, which is a large group of enthusiasts flying VFR and GA planes or helis only on VATSIM. He is actually the one who suggested me the development of the newly released A2A PA24-250 Comanche Gauges. Following is his cockpit with the Comanche set.
