  1. The last time I used this it worked fine. That was a few months ago. It worked fine the whole 2 years that I had it. So, I went to sell it on ebay, and it sold for $245! But the guy said it was broken when he got it. The plastic cover that holds the 3 fans has 2 tabs at the end that had snapped/broke. He sent me pictures. At first I thought that he probably broke it. But after thinking about it, I think it 'may' be possible that the post office broke it. The box does not look damaged, but they may have just squished the sides enough to snap those tabs. In any case, it may/probably still works. I think the tabs could be fixed with super glue or something. But I don't feel comfortable selling this online since it's broke. So, if anybody wants to pay for shipping, you can have it. Just send me a PM. GIGABYTE GV-N66TOC-3GD GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
  2. That is awesome! I found this video that shows more about this aircraft... http://player.vimeo.com/video/65863381
  3. Thanks guys. Had a nice dinner last Sunday with the family for my BDay.
  4. Some of my profiles were setup when I first got the x55 and was having problems. Saitek Support said to make the commands 'Advanced Commands' to fix their bugs. But that is not necessary now from my experience now. So, if you see any simple Advanced commands, and have problems with them, just change them to basic Keypresses.
  5. In Teamspeak, Settings, Options, Hotkeys, select "Keyboard & Mouse Only" in the bottom/right combobox. Or TS will cause problems when the x55 sends keys. Do not have the Profile Editor open when testing in game, or just using in game. It can capture sent keystrokes. Right-Click on the icon in the SysTray to select (download) your profile. Click on it to open the Profile Editor. Grease your shaft. If you have problems, plug them directly into your motherboard USB. Again, if you have problems. Search x55 USB 3.0 HUB Ghosting. I have not had this, but there seems to be a problem on some systems with USB 3.0. Last, don't ever call Saitek Support. Here are my profiles. I assign all of the buttons with the Saitek Profile Editor, and all of the Axis 'in-game'. X-55 Rhino.rar

    This is just the first day's find. After 3 days I had found about 3x more. About 1/4 of them are keepers. I'll polish up a few of the best ones.
  8. A young New York woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean, but just before she could throw herself from the docks, a handsome young man stopped her. "You have so much to live for," said the man. "I'm a sailor, and we are off to Italy tomorrow. I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take care of you, bring you food every day, and keep you happy." With nothing to lose, combined with the fact that she had always wanted to go to Italy, the woman accepted. That night the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a small but comfortable compartment in the hold. From then on, every night he would bring her three sandwiches, a bottle of red wine, and make love to her until dawn. Three weeks later she was discovered by the captain during a routine inspection. "What are you doing here?" asked the captain. "I have an arrangement with one of the sailors," she replied. "He brings me food and I get a free trip to Italy ." "I see," the captain says. Her conscience got the best of her and she added, "Plus, he's screwing me." "He certainly is," replied the captain. "This is the Staten Island Ferry."
  9. Ok, thanks. I think somebody told me it was an option that I must have turned on in the engine management difficulty settings.
  10. Nice Video Tom! I see that you didn't turn on your magnetos? But after you started the engine they were on. How did that happen? And don't we need to mess with them?
  11. What is the purpose of that pic you can put in the cockpit with the other aircraft wingspans? If you are setting your gunsight convergence by feet, how do you use this pick?
  12. I think I got most of that Jack. Just to I understand. When you say: This lag is only temporary until you return to straight and level flight. It only happens when you are in the turn? After the turn the T returns to North, right?
  13. I'm glad you posted that Jack. After our little class in this the other night, I thought you did use the DG to navigate. And that we just pointed our airplanes north so you could show me something as an example. Now that makes sense. Now I'm wondering why you showed me how to set the DG? Maybe that was the example? Either way, I get your point about using the CS. Why does't the CS get screwed up when we make wild turns? Because it has an actual magnetic compass and the gyro only has a gyro to hold it on point?
  14. Yes, his formation flying is really just trying to follow someone (me) at this point. We've gone over Jabo's items 1 & 2 pretty well. And he can takeoff and land ok. So, if he can just stay with the flight he won't be a duck, and can practice navigating with the help of others.. All in all he's doing well. Tomorrow we will review the difference between the top of the airplane and the bottom with those wheelie thingys. And in due course..
  15. What does the ground controller do? Tell us not to drive on his grass?
  16. This looks interesting.. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/252587878/trickey-any-key-anywhere Unfortunately their kickstarter reward structure is kind of expensive, so I doubt they will raise the money.
  17. Under Desk Keyboard Trays? I have also seen someone use a music stand.

    Hmm, does that come for the Android too?
  19. That was just part of your training. Trial by fire.. Now you will never fall for that again..
