The axis bars are green when they are assigned a function and calibrated, and they are red when they are not calibrated. Each control’s desired function is selected from the drop down box to the left of its bar. Thus, when the stick is rolled left and right only one green or red bar will move when it is pushed back and forth another bar will move. As this is done, one of the green or red bars will move for each input that is actuated. To begin, move the joystick’s controls around to see how the axes are mapped in X-Plane. If it isn’t already selected, click on the Axis tab at the top of the screen. This will open the dialog box allowing you to configure and calibrate the flight controls. In X-Plane, move the mouse to the top of the screen and click Settings, then select Joystick & Equipment, as seen in the image below. 1 Troubleshooting Problems with Flight Controls.0.5 Controlling Joystick Sensitivity and Aircraft Stability.You're right that they won't give you a Steam key if you buy directly from Laminar Research, but you really don't need one since the standalone version is hardly the inconvenience you make it out to be.

You can also buy a USB dongle if neither of those options appeal to you, but that is an additional expense and is more intended for people and businesses with multiple computers since you only have to buy one copy of X-Plane and can then buy a dongle for each computer you plan to use it on, which, in the end, is cheaper than buying multiple copies of X-Plane. In fact, the program will remember the key for you, and on future occasions when you're prompted for the key (for instance, when the software wants to check in with the mothership), the fields will be already filled in. Keeping the program DVD in the drive is not that big of a deal, and neither is keeping the software key easily accessible if you buy the download-only version. Keeping the software up to date is super, duper easy as well since X-Plane will automatically inform you when a new version is available, and all you have to do is click "OK", and the installer takes care of the rest. You can even have multiple copies installed on the same computer, which some people do for testing and to try out beta versions without trashing their primary installation. It installs in its own directory that can be moved, copied, and backed up to your heart's content because the program is not linked in any way to your operating system with messy registry entries or external libraries. All-in-all, I see just too many negatives for not having the Steam version.The biggest benefit of the standalone version is that it really is standalone. I've also read that Laminar won't give a Steam key if you bought it in another way. Publicado originalmente por War Radish:The convenience of always having it to hand to (re)install, the automatic updates (apparently the update system of 10, outside of Steam, was poor with reports that people sometimes had to wipe and re-install the game from scratch after an unsuccessful update), the hasle of having to insert DVD No.1 as copy protection if you got a version on disc, or not having to remember or find the installation key code if you bought the download version. Just a heads-up for anyone who is too impatient and wants in to the beta version now: rather than buying directly from Laminar, if you get it from Aerosoft it's a little cheaper and you also get 3 free airport addons (buy Xplane 10 with the automatic upgrade to Xplane 11 and the price is lower still).

After reading around a lot today, it seems the consensus from people that bought the last one (Xplane 10) is that it's better to wait for a Steam version to release. I've been thinking of picking this sim up.
