Thanks. To be honest, I haven't done much of anything with MSFS since then. (But look out for a couple of Twin Otter throwback videos soon...)

Hmmm, not really. I do still have 2020 installed, and I might try 2024 when it arrives. If only there were something like FS Recorder I might go back to making some of my old style videos :(

That is a great compliment, considering your own catalogue! 🙂

Oh crikey, I wouldn't know! I've had a little look now and then at things like the Arturia PolyBrute and MiniFreak, which have a similarly convoluted (though qualitatively different) sound design capabilities, but I can't say how they stack up feature for feature. Maybe the only sensible comparisons are (a) how many voices are available and (b) how flexible the modulation options are.

@@AlmostAviation thanks. Do you still use this app?

@@TwinCitiesOxygen No, not really. I have never really used many of the apps for much beyond tinkering.

@@AlmostAviation do you have any hardware or software you use regularly?

@@TwinCitiesOxygen I'm trying to learn about Ableton Live at the moment. The only hardware synth I have is a Moog MAVIS, which is kind of interesting but very limited.

I think you'd need to be more specific for me to have any ideas!

Ha, very good :) I wish Igor would make another Scaper app, I love FieldScaper.

@@AlmostAviation same, love the Scapers!

Yes, the 6382 looks a lot like the 1203 - I presume the different headstock and tuners are Regal branding. I don't like the look of the pin bridge so much, especially with those screws, which I presume are for adjusting the saddle. I sold all my Harmonies at the start of last year, with the sole exception of the 6303. It was the best of the bunch and also has kind of sentimental value as the first decent guitar I owned. I have a couple of Martins now and I have to confess that they are so, so much better in every way!

​@@AlmostAviation Yes. The regal h6382 originally came with an adjustable saddle which I think was a somewhat common gimmick on guitars back around 1970. But on mine I do not have the adjustable saddle. I had mine fitted with a extra thick tusq saddle, so it doesn't have the screws in it, but it does look different than your typical acoustic, because it has a very thick saddle in place of where the adjustable one would be inserted. Some people also use a rosewood insert with a regular acoustic saddle. The guy who I bought it from actually had made a brass nut and saddle for it, but I didn't care for the sound. The brass nut and saddle gave the guitar a very metalic ringing tone, but I prefer a more woody tone so I went with a bone nut and tusq saddle. It also has a brass and ebony headstock inlay in the shape of a star. My guitar has a lot of modifications/customizations, so it is a purist collectors nightmare 😂

@@domdimensions9219 Sounds like it's had a lot of love, so purists be damned!

​@@AlmostAviation The headstock of the sovreigns have that cool shape, right? But the regal h6382 has a generic martin headstock shape. I'm pretty sure they simply copied it from martin haha. Yeah, the vintage harmony guitars are not by any means the best guitars in the world. They were cheaply made and mass produced, so they tend to need restoration work. But they used some pretty good tone woods for the construction. I guess those were the materials they simply had available at the time. I think using laminated wood in guitars was a bit of a new thing back then. I think the allure of them is they have a unique tone which cannot really be replicated with modern guitars. If a musician is looking for a really unique tone to set them apart from the martins and gibsons, harmony guitars could be good for some styles.

If I understand correctly, you can set up two independent views for your front screens, then make sure each is rotated a bit to the right or left. Using 32" screens, each might have a FoV of about 60 degrees, so you would need to rotate the left view by -30 degrees and the right view by +30 degrees. (The zoom setting is also relevant, so have a look at my next video after this one, which talks about that.)

@@AlmostAviation I wish I could send a picture .. but given your instructions I somehow made it happen .. still not perfect, but .. It looks like the screens (QHD with 3440 × 1440) and what matters probably the most is the ZOOM .. unfortunately I see I cannot really set up it "universally" so the zoom would not impact the screens .. I can send a picture somewhere if you are willing to help a bit .. I would pay with donnuts :)

@@AlmostAviation In other words. I cannot, cannot, manage the proper alignment of four monitors and zoom in the cabin. Plus, what's bothering, is that the main POV is not from the seat, but it's 30 cms above .. any suggestions please?

​@@michalvydrzel Your screens are very wide, so I doubt you will get the views to line up properly. You will inevitably get distortion out at the edges, and the only way to balance this is to reduce the FoV you are displaying on the screen - in other words, to zoom in. For a more satisfactory result you need to use screens with a lower aspect ratio - 16:9 or, better, the old-fashioned 5:4 screens! In my video I have taken a different approach, which is to use a single wide display and accepting the distortion, then adding two additional side views. They don't line up very well, but it doesn't really matter. You could do that with your two forward screens, either with nvidia surround or a TH2GO (or DH2GO). (Although I'm not sure if you can run 2+2 with nvidia surround.) You should be able to move the eyepoint up and down using MSFS commands.

I guess 50" or so would be about right, or 55" seems to be a popular size. Of course you'd need them to be 4K at that size, so I think you'd struggle get a PC that could drive them. I don't know if there are options for multi-PC setups with MSFS.

@@AlmostAviation yeah, I suppose so. Back in the day you could buy a desktop with option to add two graphic cards in one desktop in SLI modes. Wonder if that still exists nowadays

Read the description.

Goofy? I do mention it in the video, but if you really want to understand you could look at this one: ruclips.net/video/f_LbumuhGgo/видео.htmlsi=r4HVhhIAWRuBoHi7&t=161

@AlmostAviation thanks for the video explanation, I said goofy because I've never seen them quite oriented that way. Cheers!

It's anyone's guess what this means :)

They used to have an option to send your panel to them, or to purchase the upgrade as a kit. Perhaps their market is too small to make it worthwhile :(

You can PM me via the forum on my channel page...

What throttle set are you using

@@russellgrundy8534 Virtual Fly TQ6.

I have to setup a basic twin otter sim for a training role I am starting . I see from earlier vids you has overhead throttles did the reverse thrust work on these

@@russellgrundy8534 Yes, they were Saitek quadrants and I had two independent levers for the reverse. Look here (ruclips.net/video/i0PxHhl0F2I/видео.html). Later I had the TQ6 mounted overhead, and that has reverse thrust natively on the power levers. (ruclips.net/video/v4P1gTz9ddE/видео.html)

The LCD screen was well-known for becoming flickery over time. I think the general 'fix' (which I used) was to stick a piece of black electrical tape over it! As for the disconnecting, I expect your are right that it's a loose connection somewhere. I guess that would be fixable if you could trace it, but the wires are all very skinny :|

Yes, I believe that was Cunderdin WA, a free airport from Orbx.

Yep, no doubt :)

You can drag any instrument that can be popped out onto its own screen. That's how I am doing the GPS here. (The other instruments are running outside of MSFS.) Of course this depends on which instruments have been created that way. In case you don't know, if you hold down the ALT-GR (right ALT) key, you will see a + sign in a circle when you put the mouse over an instrument that can be popped out. (You then click on it to pop it out).

Which app were you using for your meeting? Most communication apps deliberately prevent a screen recording from capturing audio.

Igor's apps aren't for everyone, you need to put a bit of effort in to understand :)

Good thing too, seems like they're in no position to accept returns at the moment!

Hi, my specs are listed on the channel page.

Okay, in those videos I was using a single view with Nvidia Surround.

Hello. First, I can't be sure which vides you were looking at, as my Twin Otter went through several iterations! Most recently in P3D I used a View Group, which means three separate views in three different windows. Likewise, I tried that in MSFS, although they don't call it a 'view group'. (My latest MSFS setup does this but uses a single window for the middle three screens, using a Matrox TH2GO.) Lastly, I'm not sure what distinction you are making between 'stretched' and Nvidia Surround, as I think they are the same thing. In other words, if you use Surround you have a single view spread across three monitors. This is only 'stretched' in the sense that you get geometric distortion at the extremes due to the projection algorithm. If you use three individual views instead, this effect is generally small enough not to be noticeable, although it is hard to get the edges to line up exactly. Individual windows is always going to look better if your PC can giive you the performance.

I am using Air Manager from SimInnovations.

@@AlmostAviation thanks
