Michael operates a business in the USA building PCs predominantly for X-Plane. To make it easier to follow have a look at the following links from Michael Brown. Just select the stick name for that aircraft in your preferences dropdown menu (top of the screen). Tedious in the beginning but when you fly different aircraft you don't have to configure the stick each time. Why? You can configure the unit for several different aircraft. From there you configure the purchased unit. X-Plane should recognise your unit and show you a picture of that unit. No other way.Ĭonnect your stick to your Mac, turn your Mac on and then bootup X-Plane. Your stick has to be configured in X-Plane. X-Plane is different to all other 'shootem' up games and flight sim packages. Don't even attempt to configure the unit through your operating system because it won't work either What ever you purchase will depend on your budget.Īfter your purchase what you need to know is that the software that is provided with the unit will have to sit in the box. Greengolfer has given you a large variety of units to chose from. Like Greengolfer15 I am not with Laminar Research either just a flight simmer from downunder.
