Contacted Saitek a few weeks ago regarding their new X56 Rhino for possible review. Well, they've replied to my request and have offered up a unit for me to review. My plan is to do a side by side comparison of the X55 and X56. Hardware, software, INSIDE and out. If you know anything about me, I like to tinker and or mod/build/re-engineer stuff HOTAS related. My plan, after the initial impressions is to open the X56 up, and see what makes it tic, so to speak. Then, (queue mad scientist laugh) see how much trouble I can get myself into... Film at eleven.

I remember creating a Command File for Falcon (hosted there at The Hangar). 412 commands! I thought, holy crap there's a bunch of commands! Then, DCS came out... OY VEH!

RAVEN Prayers IWK.

unable to run Jane's F/A 18, Combat Flight Simulator, Combat Flight Simulator II on my current system even with compatibility modes set. So, I broke out an old Win XP Pro Machine I had stored away. Just have to figure out cable routing... in the Obutto to accommodate the two machines, mouses, keyboards... Film at eleven. I hope.

Sadly, or not, still THE best Naval OPS Flight Sim.

Jane's F/A 18? Hush you!

Thanks guys. But, my XP Pro machine is/was already set up for those titles. Like I said, I'll need to figure out the routing of cables, powered USB Hub to connect to both systems... Should be fun!

OORAH! S/F Two Marines Moving!

The Combat ACE X-56 Review... http://combatace.com/topic/89350-combatace-saitex-x-56-hotas-review-by-531ghost/?do=findComment&comment=722317

Received the review unit. Finishing up the review. It should be posted soon (two weeks )

Still waiting for the review unit. They were supposed to be shipped to SD on the 20th and from there, to me. Film at...

for some... Discuss...

It's a shame that the "Module Manager" doesn't manage ALL modules. Other than that

Well, I'm here to report that, SFP1 works just fine on Win 10 w/ CH Products/CM v4.55.

Because I have a CD for SFP1 and it doesn't need interwebs authentication I'm (trying) to install it onto the Win 10 Laptop... Film at 11:00... BTW Ed, I BARELY made it out of Newark yesterday! We maintained an altitude of 8k to keep away from the weather.

Running CM v4.55 under Win 10 and CM is running just fine on my Toshiba Laptop. Keys test in CM v4.55 after the .map is downloaded presses the appropriate keys that are programmed. That said, Win 10 knocked out my mouse pad and mouse buttons on the laptop. Had to plug in a mouse. AND, when I go to install SFP2 onto the laptop, after supplying my email address and code SFP2 doesn't seem to be able to connect to the interwebs to verify, even though, I AM connected. UGH. Keys: Fresh update to Windows. Uninstall/Remove all CM Unplug CH Devices Re-install CM Wait for install to finish Re-plug CH Devices Wait for devices to install Calibrate devices.

For those of you flying with CH Products, I've decided to give the ol' Dummies Guide a face-lift. You can find the new and improved version here at: My YouTube Channel If you have any "how do I" requests, post them here... Thanks!

still in the box. I may have a whole hour of use of this MOMO. All (wheel, shifter, pedals, buttons) still work as it should. Asking $100.00 + shipping CONUS. I've found the MOMO on eBay for $130.00+ PM Me here...

SOLD

Seems the link *poof* is no more. Imagine that.

Go out and make it a GREAT one!

FSX/Acceleration With the TAC PAC, now yer talkin'

Sadly I was making "Sea Warriors" (non-PC to call them Shipmates anymore) turn wrenches. To late for crabbin'.
