Some new specifications!

[Guest Jaaky]

Thanks Mark an Laurent for the replies.OK I understand now about the buttons and the disconnect bar/ arm switch.Me and my new monster machine are ready for the release...:9

Great news on the VC. Hopefully that means you wont need to use the 2D cockpit at all?

[Guest lcrenier]

No sure. With the computer performances we can get at now, 2D panels will always be smoother than a realistic and fully functional VC in FS2004. Personnally, I prefer to swap 2D-3D views in function of the phase of flight.

I'm dying to get this to see all the new options/features, however, I'm curious about one thing, what does 2 VHF + 2 HF (tunable on UCT stations) mean? In the sim we just have the 2 comm for voice, but what will the HF do? Simulate an HF signal? As an amatuer radio and scanner user, I can't figure that statement out.

[Epikk 63]

Yeah... I'm curious about that VHF-HF thing too.I was also wondering if APU burns fuel...?

"what does 2 VHF + 2 HF (tunable on UCT stations) mean?"As I understand it, the VHF panels are tuned as you would normally tune them to enable things like MSFS ATC and ATIS. HF, however, is not associated with anything in MSFS... and for now, at least, the LDS1 HF can't be plugged into a proper HF tuner (most internet live HF reception involves some kind of ongoing payment which would present an unnecessary expense to most LDS1 users).Mostly just HF static is modelled. However, on 5, 10, 15, etc MHz, you can hear the (recorded) tones of the real atomic clock (UTC). No times are given, however (just too time consuming to programme). At the moment, it's just a novelty to add that extra bit of realism/atmosphere to the LDS1 cockpit ;-)Hope this helps.Cheers.Ian.

DOES IT INCLUDE LANDING VIEW?????????!!!!!! PLEASE ANSWER MR.STEVEN :-hang

[skyymann 6]

Firefox looks great :-)

[Guest DLH6514]

Hi!Just another question: does the transponder have a stby/active (mode c) switch and an ident button, which would work with the upcoming squawkbox 3 software for online flying? (I've heard about transponder gauges in other addon aircraft with that feature)>I was also wondering if APU burns fuel...?I'm wondering about this, tooSo long, Joerg

Nice smiley, and have you heard its pretty rude to write with caps on all the time?Really annoying! Behave

[Qavion 19]

Re the smiley.... Perhaps Mr. Li

[Guest rhys13]

Wow ! Brilliant post ... yet again*:-* If you look in this same forum you'll find that Wade aswered that question a couple of days ago :"There is no 2D landing view, but there is a mini panel view for landing." This hopefully answers the question.I look forward to reading your reply concerning Ian's question aboutwhy the Hangman. I assume that you will be answering it ...right ?

[Guest Flyer_767]

Hi, Could you tell if it's going to offer the choice to have TCAS info on the excellent Lee's IVSI gauge?Thanks

[Guest rhys13]

Hi, I think you'll find an answer here :http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=28126&page=2Hope it helps

[Guest Jean Claude]

I hope we will have option for 2D only (NO VC) with cockpit side views as VC serve no purpose in precision flight simulation for me.Jean-ClaudeCYQB
