Microsoft Flight Simulator X Acceleration and DreamFlyer
Here’s an interesting read. Comic Book Bin has posted an article describing a demonstration of Flight Simulator X Acceleration being used with DreamFlyer (see our previous posts on Acceleration and DreamFlyer):
Thankfully, the expansion pack plays quite smoothly, and was quite enjoyable, even if I couldn’t quite handle the faster planes. Of course, there was something else that made the experience even more enjoyable; playing Acceleration using the DreamFlyer.
FMS Flight Motion Simulator Inc.’s DreamFlyer is, in its most basic form, a flight simulation controller. However, it’s more than just a joystick. The DreamFlyer is a full motion flight simulator controller that you sit in to control your flight simulation game. It comes with a full joystick, complete with combat controls, a hand throttle with more buttons and a thumb switch mouse, plus foot pedals. Making turns is as simple as tilting the joystick or, if you prefer, yourself in whatever direction you’re looking to go. When you make your turn, the DreamFlyer and monitor turn with you, giving the sensation of flight. You can even attach an LCD monitor, or three, to the DreamFlyer so you can have a fuller experience.
“ DreamFlyer brings the experience of flying to a whole different level,� said FMS Flight Motion Simulators CEO, Rahul Lakhote, “It brings full motion into the picture and allows the user to interact with the simulation software using our full system, with the joystick, the pedals, the full surround sound system (option), and you can fly any aircraft, any time, in any weather condition�.
It looks to my like DreamFlyer could well be on the way to stardom. Read the full article over on Comic Book Bin.

This product looks so cool, I wish I could afford one of these simulator systems
It’s neat, isn’t it? Even my wife and son are impressed, and they’re not the slightest bit interested in flight simulation!

Hi, I just want to know how/where I can download an addon that will bring to life the FMS-CDUs in my FSX’s airplanes. I can see them but cant click/operate any of them. Instead, their functions seem to be “simulated” by components (Load Flight, Save in the FreeFlight menu item. I think the using FMS-via-CDU thing is an important aspect of jet flight and really want to utilize it.
Hi Ahmad. Do you mean the FMC’s in the default aircraft? If so, they aren’t functional - you’ll need to purchase an advanced airliner add-on, such as the Level-D 767, PMDG 747, Wilco etc.
