Well, I’m still waiting on my rudder pedals and knobster (end of the week), but I got all my integrations and configurations done so I figured I would just turn on taxi rudder assist and assign toe brakes to one of the Alpha buttons and finally get into the skies.
Did 4 touch and goes at CYTS with the last being bang on the money. Then filed a flight plan from CYTS to CNE4.
Everything went pretty smooth aside from missing the approach and preforming a go-around but lined it up nicely on the second attempt.
Graphics / scenery were amazing and buttery smooth at an average of 63FPS. TrackIR was perfect and added some awesome immersion.
Was nice to use the whole ultrawide monitor for windshield and have the touch panels with Air Manager for my gauges and the other running Navigraph.
I did notice the trim wheel is hypersensitive and I deffinetly need to work on my heading and altitude steadiness.
Other then that, I’d say a successful first day out in the 152!
While getting everything ready I also completed the Vatsim P1 training via VATSTAR and passed the P1 exam. Time to get some practice in and then do the practice flights with instructor. Looking forward to getting on the VATSIM network.
Great to hear positive posts, i very new to the forum, hoping to come and have a laugh and share good times and tips etc, but so far lots of very negative posts about lots of things, so thanks for this post, made me happy to be here and know other people are actually enjoying this!!!
Have fun flying, myt see u in vatsim at some stage😎
Once you have your AM screens set up with your instruments and radios, you’ll find using that and the Knobster far quicker and easier (due to the dual encoder) than using the Logitech radio panel.
In case you need a suggestion with your 152’s instrument layout, this is how I have my C152 panels set up.
BTW, my parking brake and the throttle / mixture levers are from payware panels. The throttle and mixture are from the C172 panel, and the brake is from the Baron panel.
And in any case, glad that you have this all set up and working so well and finally enjoying it. You’ve pumped a lot of money into this setup. Glad to see you’re finally getting use and enjoyment out of it. It only gets better from here.
