Gentlemen / Ladies,I am flying PSS Concorde by way of tutorial 3,I keep getting a flashing message from Fs 2004 that, "the heading is set incorectly press D to set" . Also when setting the radio altimeter to 500 feet for initial climb as mentioned in the tutorial, a message flashes which read "your altimeter is set incorrectly press B to set.Please let me know how to set this tutorial flight so that the above messages don't show up through Fs 2004.Thanking you,Best Regards,Aftab.

Do you have 'Display Flying Tips' enabled in FS9? If you do, turn it off as it is nothing but a bother.Cheers,JohnBoeing 727/737 & Lockheed C-130/L-100 Mechanichttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

Display Flying tips is in the Aicraft Realism settings (Right at the top) and has nothing to do with ATC and will not affect ATC. Just un check it if it's checked.Cheers,JohnBoeing 727/737 & Lockheed C-130/L-100 Mechanichttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

Hello John,I have turn the display tips off and there are no more messages comming through fs during tutorial 3,thanks. Can you tell me how to adjust the center of gravity during tutorial 3, as the aircraft nears New York, the center of gravity liights keep flashing on the main panel, also the climb rate is still slow and the altimeter reads 57,000 feet still not near 58,000 feet as described in the tutorial 3.Thanking you,Best regards,Aftab.

Hello John,With VFE engaged I still have to transfer fuel through different tanks?, if at all, and how to verify through the indicator wether the fuel needs to be transfered to the front, rear or center tanks.Thanking You,Best Regards,Aftab.

[Guest Phoenix_7]

with VFE set to ONyou should not need to transfer fuel yourselfjust tried myself starting with PSSconcorde_3 and all went okCG can be monitored on the CG% Co indicator on the overhead panel and also main panelthe white pointer indicates the current CG% also indicated on the digital readoutin generalduring the initial climb fuel is burned from tanks 5 and 7as this fuel burns off the CG moves forwardfuel can be transfered to the rear from tank 9 to 5 and 7by setting the Trim Trans Auto Master switch to REARWARDtry and keep the CG% (white) pointer towards the rear indicatoras tank 9 emptiestank 10 will start to emptywhen 10 is empty you can transfer from 5A to 5 and 7A to 7 using the tranfer switches at the top of fuel management 2 panel, marked TRANS VALVES 5A-5 and 7A-7when tank 5 and 7 are emptytank 6 and 8 supply the engines thru the collector tanksJohn PSS SUPPORTsupport@phoenix-simulation.co.ukhttp://www.avsim.com/pss/phoenix.jpg
