Hi,
My name is Slawosz and I am a casual simmer. Here and there I play MSFS. In real life, I am a trainee glider pilot. I am looking into cockpit and steering devices building using 3D printer - so far I have built one joystick for my glider cockpit prototype.

Hi, you can call me ChippyChickin
I am playing MSFS on PC. I recently got the Logitech x56 HOTAS originally for Star Citizen but I started playing MSFS and got addicted.
I want to try flight simulation because I love learning new things and simulator games are my favorite.
The only thing is I have trouble with landing. I can land just fine but I cant figure out how to brake on time with the x56 and I dont want to have to change any controls. It says button 5 on the back on the throttle but I dont think it does anything. Any ideas? Also add me on steam and lets play! My steam id is 76561198080376353

Hello, my name is Chris.

I did not play Flight Simulator for quite a long time, but winter is coming and I feel like playing it again. I’ve started about 2 years ago and I never fly anything except GA planes. Of course, for fun I’ve tried even the big ones and some activities, but in general I prefer to simulate the real experience. I have also watched twitch flying lessons, it’s super good and I recommend it to anyone who is new to flying and is hungry for
knowledge.

I’ve decided to register on the forum here, so I can put my vote for historical weather, as this is a feature I’m really looking forward.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forums Chris! Happy you are here :blush:

If you have any questions with the simulator don’t hesitate to ask in General Discussion & Community Support. We are all here to help!

I like GA planes too however I mainly fly airliners. GA planes though are very relaxing to fly after a long day!
