Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel now can work in Linux!
User JaXXoN wrote a small plug in for X-Plane that makes Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel work in the sim in Linux installations! The relevant thread in the org forums is here.
The installation proccess is a bit complicated, but at last it works :-)
WARNING: I haven't test it myself, as I don't have a Saitek switch panel (I hope I'll buy one someday to accompany my saitek yoke + dual throttles :-)).
Splendid freeware Antonov An-2!
A little time ago a freeware Antonov An-2 was announced in the x-plane.org forums. Now it is finally released! You can download it from here.
The work in the 3D detail is marvellous! Outstanding 3D cockpit with moving controls and switches, correct custom gauges, very good flight model (some work has to be done yet here, as it does not yet fly "by the book"). Here are some screenshots:
How to make all your controllers active at once!
Many users of x-plane in various Linux distros have reported at the relevant topic in x-plane.org forum that their controllers wouldn't be recognized by x-plane, unless they unplugged and replugged them before starting x-plane. In my occasion, I had a relevant issue with my CH peddals: I had to start x-plane, unplug the peddals, quit and restart it!
However, the user dynamic4711 announced in that post that he found a very good solution to that problem! Before starting X-Plane, execute these commands in the terminal:
sudo /sbin/rmmod ehci_hcd
sudo /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd
What theese commands do is to simply remove the ehci_hcd module and then reloading it. Of course this will only work if nothing else is using that module, otherwise the first command will fail.
You can also make a script with theese commands and execute it before launching x-plane. The code is:
#!/bin/sh
sudo /sbin/rmmod ehci_hcd
sudo /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd
Don't forget to make the script executable and to execute it in terminal (select "Run in terminal" from your GUI)

The x737 v3 now for LINUX!
Version 3.0 of the very famous and excellent x737 Boeing 737 NG simulation is now available for linux users! The linux plug in is uploaded in the eadt website.
The bird flies really amazingly, with no frame rate hit (I had some fps issues with the previous version on my linux installation). Grab it on the eadt website.
More and more screenshots!

Realism to the edge: birdstrikes!
Let me show you what happens in X-Plane, when you get through a fleet of well-sized birds on 150 kts!
Well, pretty much what in reality: BIRDSTRIKE!
During my takeoff roll from runway 21L at LGAV, and just after lift-off, a fleet of birds was flying above the runway (at about 100ft) and -as I wasn't aware of it- I got through with 150 kts!!
It seems that I hit a large amount of birds: exept from the dirty windscreen, I also lost both my engines and got a tire blown!! Great damage, I just managed to get down again!
The aircraft is the wonderfull freeware 757-200. Great attention to the detail on the 3D model, superb flight dynamics and realistic panel!
