Hi Brian, That icon is included in a small update package "rcbgh-61.zip" , that a.o. corrects a few small changes in V6. Since I forgot where I uploaded it (it's not in the AVSIM library): if you send me an Email (see my readme file for address), I'll attach the update for you. Regards, Rob

You are missing three <Entry> lines in that code, causing the syntax of the whole file to be wrong. Hence FSX resets to the defaults .... Like: line <Key>PGDN</Key> should be preceeded by the line <Entry> Rob

OK, 'problem' solved. NOTE: As specified in the README, the altitude callouts (2500, 1000, .... down to 10) are ONLY given when the aircraft is in a landing configuration. My gauge uses a simpel, generic criterium for that: landing gear down AND flaps extended to > 30% (value can be changed in the gauge). Cheers, Rob

Got it. See my reply ......

Skip, just send me an Email (see my READMEs for address) and attach the panel.cfg you have modified. I'll have a look then. And, if you can, a screenshot in WindowsExplorer so I can check correct install location and pathname. Since you have my other addons running in P3Dv5.2, I'm pretty sure it's a trivial typo somewhere. You wouldn't be the first (and the last); including me ....LoL Rob

As confirmed by other people, it should work in P3Dv5.2 when installed properly (as described in my README). TIP: Make sure that the foldername is correct "RCB_GPWS5" (note the Underscore character); both in subfolder and panel.cfg definition. And don't move the *.dll to your main Gauges folder. Just leave it in the .../Gauges/RCB_GPWS5/ subfolder. Rob

Or as in "Vernon Focker" , as pronounced by Dustin Hoffman in the "Meet the Fockers" movie series .... The whole 'problem' arises because (in (American 'slang' ?) the 'u' in the word 'F*ck' often sounds like an 'o' ... LoL .... Cheers, Rob

I don't think this is strange at all ... FFB has been a feature in many predecessors of MSFS (from FS98 upto P3DV5) , whatever one thinks of it's realisme. It just shows that MSFS (with all it's great, especially visual, features) in it's current state, is years away from implementing ALL flightsim features in ALL of these previous MS/LM flightsim versions. This is just another example; as there are many more. Rob

HI, First of all, welcome to this forum and thanks for contributing your findings to the flightsim community. That said: I assume you mean with "MSFS" : FSX (original, Accell, or SteamEdition) . Because you wrote your suggestion in this forum. Unfortunately, the term "MSFS" is 'hyjacked" by the new Flightsim version released by Microsoft in 2020. Not to offend anyone, just trying to avoid confusion. Secondly (and again, to avoid confusion) copying the panel.cfg from one plane to another isn't a good idea. What you probably ment to say: copy the Autopilot section of the panel.cfg of the B747 to the panel.cfg of other aircraft that doesn't have such an Autopilot. Right ?? (If such an Autopilot is realistic or not for another plane: whatever a flightsimmer prefers ...LoL). Just want to add, that coping the Autopilot panel.cfg section of the B747 might not be enough. Because a few lines in a.o. the [autopilot] section of the aircraft.cfg, also influences if/how those AP functions work ... Like (examples): autopilot_available= flight_director_available= autothrottle_available= autothrottle_arming_required= Rob

Are you the same user 'blueshark747' who replied in this thread less then a month ago: Some quotes from that post: "" Enjoyment doesn't have an expiration date and none of these sims replace each other. They are all different sims imo. I currently enjoy FSX alongside MSFS both in VR. I feel they are two different sims with two totally different moods,feelings and visuals. FSX has a ton of more freedom and possibility than MSFS currently. FSX still has my favorite fixed wing and rotary aircraft, still runs much more solid in VR than MSFS for now. I still prefer FSX handling and aerodynamics feel over MSFS( "but.. but Blueshark MSFS has more modern actual real scientific modeled wind,aerodynamics,physics systems blah blah") yes we know none of this means the aircraft are actually fun to fly though. In which in my case they simply do not. I'm not a fan of the twitchy bouncy nose trim and several other issues with the vanilla heavy tubeliners in MSFS. So for now FSX is still my go to for serious long haul flights and rotary fun. "" Maybe I can't read English anymore (sorry, I'm Dutch), but I'm curious to know what has obviously changed your opinion. You gave, and I agree, enough arguments why MSFS in its current state, is NOT a replacement of FSX; depending what one's interrest in flightsimming is. And I don't understand why you think you can speak on behalf of "all simmers" .... Certainly not for me, As a freeware designer who made/published 100+ addons for FSX, and as a user of MSFS too, I won't even start to give many more examples of simming enjoyment possible in FSX, and not (YET) in MSFS. As to your reference to "Market Statistics": Which "Market Statistics" ??? - Sales figures ?? - Hours spent in flightsimming ?? - Hours spent in writing comments in various flightsim forums ?? - Etc ..... Please explain ..... Those are very different statistics ; some of which are completely unknown, If only because many active flightsimmers are not active on flightsim forums, Regards, Rob

The most likely reason is, that you haven't installed FSUIPC (or if you have a version that isn't working properly for the FSX version you are using). In FSX, check the menu line, item Addons. In it, there should be an item 'FSUIPC'. Click it, and read the version number ..... Rob

Works perfect with FSUIPC both registered or not, as far as I know (and for me). Not sure what you mean by a 'green bar' (I'm using Windows7/10 in the classic style). But whatever: this FSUIPC VAS-info is displayed in the top-line of the window frame; so is ONLY visible in Windowed-mode, NOT in Fullscreen-mode Rob

See also the above post on how to edit your posts on avsim. As to 'tweaking the gauge to your aircraft': (like # of flaps positions, Vspeeds depending on set flaps and actual total weight) The default settings are for a Fokker F28. See comment in the gauge code, and README, and how to change them. Of course, it works as-good-as the data you configure in the gauge .... 😉 Rob

I just had a look at my code again, but I'm not using any variables that are specific for FSX-Accel/Steam. So it should work for FSX-RTM, FSX-SP1 and FSX-SP2 as well; I just can't test that myself anymore.

Maybe this http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=218&linkid=23355 is something for you to try. Includes what you are after; has some takeoff configuration checks as well (like min. flaps, spoiler and weight checks). And can be easily configured for any aircraft by editting the XML init values.
