December 30, 200322 yr Hello Damian, After purchasing your new weather program I was very pleased to see it works so well! My compliments to you and your team, but ... I have a strange thing (in the software).After installing and setting both AS2004 en FSUIPC (reg. 3.135) I start first FS, set my test-flight (from EGNX to EHAM) load the flightplan and set to go (clean FSUIPC as mentioned in the manual). Than I start AS2004, load the flightplan, return to FS and go into the sky! I fly a A320-200 and this kind of plane you can only fly (good) on the autopilot. For the first 4 min. all goes well but than the IAS drops (only the readout) to zero and the plane goes down. With your other program (WX 1.92) and fs_meteo I do not have this problem. I have tried all the possible setting, changed planes but as soon there is an autopilot function active, this strange phenomenon occures aprox. 4 min. after take-off. Sometimes, if the plane is high enough the software will recover it self after aprox. 50 sec. and the rest of the flight there is no problem. My computer is:Asus P4C800 with a P4 3.02GHz / FSB 800512 MB PC3200ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb Can you give me some directions where to look for, I think it must be a setting in FS9/AS2004/FCUIPC or a combination of all? Kind Regards,Bob M JanssenArnhem / Hollland
December 30, 200322 yr Yup, known problem when in icing conditions. Make sure your pitot-heat is on ALL the time (that's normal ops in RW), and if you are entering clouds, put your anti-ice/de-ice (depending on aircraft type) on prior to. I believe you can remove the anti/de-ice as soon as you are out of clouds, but experiment. That should cure the problem.
December 30, 200322 yr And you have the Pitot heat ON?? That's weird. Double check the pitot heat is in the ON position right from just after startup. Are you seeing this in all aircraft, or just one particular?
December 30, 200322 yr Use SHIFT H to turn on Pitot heat. I've noticed on some of my panels that even if the panel switch is on it might not be on. Don't ask me why but it seems to work as a backup.
December 31, 200322 yr Good stuff :-). If that's the PSS A320, I'd be dropping them a line real quick and asking them why they put that particular switch in as a dummy rather than a functioning switch :-). Otherwise, you can edit the panel.cfg and replace the dummy one with the one out of the default 737. That might be easier than trying to remember to SHIFT+H all the time. Good luck :-)
