The Stylus adapters are not available through normal outlets. I know Mike has them available on the Stylus/Airtronics group.  If you need further info feel free to contact me off list @   drykert2 at rochester.rr.com

  Will AFPD work with the Airtronics Stylus Tx?

  I still use Aerofly Pro Deluxe.  FS One from Horizon looks promising.  I didn't get much time on it after waiting an hour for the install to finish (4 CD's - take a while).  I was helping a local HS owner with the install and ran out of time to fly it much after that delay of game, but it appears to have good flight physics.  The sceneries look great, realism factor seems high.  One thing I didn't like is that it is slooooooooow to load up if you change a scenery or a model.  The computer exceeded minimum requirements for clock speed, memory, processor type. Not sure about the graphics card she had in it though, but the delays were getting new objects loaded, not in the flight response.  The controller has some good features.  You hit a button on it to re-start when you crash, so you don't have to hunt & peck the keyboard.  I think it's worth a test drive.

   

  Aerofly Pro Deluxe is still my favorite though.  There's a zillion 3rd party add-on sceneries and models out there. One scenery enhancement I found is the 3D Farm Grid.   It throws up an aerobatic box frame as a reference in the sky.  I found that I had to adjust it to make it appear to be placed at a distance that looked right.  You can edit a text configuration file to move it around and change other dimensions, such as the size of the loop reference in the center of the box.  One of the most entertaining things about Aerofly Pro Deluxe is flying indoors.  It's a hoot. You can eventually figure out how to land on top of obstacles like the hanging scoreboard or fly knife edge along the edge of the gym and snake it through the corridor and out the door.  Once you're outside, the wind kicks in  (if it's on).  You can fly around the outside gym building, land on the dome roof, back it down the dome, fly away and try to re-enter the building.  You can pick ridiculous options just for fun, like a 40% Cap indoors.  You have juuust enough room to get it in the air and do a 3D Wall before smacking into something.  Then you are on the edge of your seat keeping it in the air inside the gym without hitting anything and eventually do a Harrier landing.  Lot's of fun.

    Hi all

     

    I am thinking about buying a simulator and wanted to hear the current thinking from the list.  What simulator do you have and how well does it work?

     

    Thanks.
