FMS controller.
 

This may be old news to many of you, but its new to me so i'm going to express my finding. lol.
About a year ago I bought a cheap ($10) gameElements recoil controller (dual analog) from wal-mart. Using this control pad, I cut the sticks off of my old aero-ace controller, and CA'd them on the center of the analog sticks. This is a great options for a controller for FMS, expecially for those people like me (college student) who don't have $200 to spend on FS-One or Realflight. By adding the sticks it gives you a closer feel to a real radio. I found that using the analog sticks alone were good, but it felt too much like a Playstation game, and not like flying an R/C plane. I hope someone finds this useful, and it helps them become a succesful pilot.

RE: FMS controller.
 

if you're brave you can desoilder the throttle stick thing of malooo to remove the return to center spring.

Trun off the fix camera posistioning. The 2.8 version allows you to do so. But as a default
it's set on ON.
It will make it feels more like you're flying a rc sim and not a vedio game feel,
becuase the model will float all over the screen. Notice how the other sims dose that.
I guess making a photolistic scenery helps too.lol

Turn off auto focus unless you have special eye balls that'll do that too.

The 2.8 version also has has a parimeter. this allows you to set different perimemters for a model.

A lot of it also has to do with camera/pilot posistioning.
To adjust that just use NOTEPAD to open the .scn files.

notice how the model dosen't stay fixed to the center of the screen.
