Congratulations to JustFlight and Aeroplane Heaven for this superb add-on, but I have one little niggle with the aircraft in this package, not so much a problem (because I can live with it) as an observation. I use a Saitek X52 Pro and Saitek rudder pedals, with the slider on the X52 set up for propeller pitch. When I use the pedals to operate the rudder the rudder pedals in the virtual cockpit move in the opposite direction, and the same applies with the propeller pitch control (I’m not sure on that one with the Me 109 because it’s such an odd control anyway!). This does not effect the operation of the controls in any way, for example from an external view the rudder still moves in the correct direction. I don’t have this problem with any other aircraft. As I said at the beginning this is not a complaint more an observation and I can live with it as long as I don’t spend my time looking at my feet when I’m flying (my flying bad enough without doing that anyway!) Regards, Ian. |

Yep your correct the rudder pedals are displayed reversed...........My prop is set up on my Saitek X52Pro on the Throttle Rotary 1. So its either Fine at the top or Course, guess its a matter of choice?
But its a lovely sim and a proud memorial to the brave pilots......I was so inspired I tried to do a movie. Went great until the copyright law spoiled my music
 I had to use what You Tube told me to use!Have a peek here:

Hi, in addition to the above;-
I have just noticed the Compass besal has no lubber line and the function is reversed.
The p8 compass in the Martlet functions correctly. ie. turn besel to desired course, match up with lubber line ( normally straight ahead or 12 o clock) then turn the aircraft so the main needle points North and you are flying your desired course. In the Spitfire and Hurri its reversed?
Regards.
