GeorgeBoles 0 Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Evening Folks, I am sitting here avoiding firing up OFF with the Track IR running (because I still get airsick - physically ) and was wondering about the wind sock which I saw last night with my TrackIR whilst preparing to land (and just avoiding nearly disgracing myself all over the cockpit/study floor ) 1. Is wind at the aerodrome modelled and does it affect landing behaviour? (I don't know yet, because I am usually emergency landing in a field full of holes.) 2. Does the wind sock show wind speed and direction? 3. Can I go to a mission and modify/see what the wind direction is supposed to be? 4. Or, if I want to practice cross-wind landings, should I download Microsoft Flight Simulator X (and then uninstall Hotbar, or whatever it is you have to get with the free download?) With thanks, George. Edited December 28, 2009 by GeorgeBoles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almccoyjr 7 Posted December 29, 2009 Evening Folks, I am sitting here avoiding firing up OFF with the Track IR running (because I still get airsick - physically ) and was wondering about the wind sock which I saw last night with my TrackIR whilst preparing to land (and just avoiding nearly disgracing myself all over the cockpit/study floor ) hahahahahaha...brings back my days when Doom first came out. I did get sick after being in those corridors for any length of time. Take the TIR slow and you'll be ok; just need to get used to it. Might take several days or a couple of weeks. Just remember to lean and look over the side of your cockpit when you feel the "urge" coming on. You don't want to leave a mess for the mechanics to clean up. plug_nickel (Al) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgeBoles 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Thanks for the advice, Chaps. The bucket is a good idea! 1. Can I edit a mission so I can check what the wind conditions are and make them stronger if I want to have fun? 2. Is the Hotbar/FlightSimX download thing more trouble than it is worth?

GeorgeBoles 0 Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks for the advice Chaps. I will play with the landings for a while and slowly build up my time on Track IR. And now I cannot find this Flight Sim X download thing any more. I could have sworn it was at SimHQ or here at Combatace in one of those flashing windows !! ?? I am not going to sweat over it.
