September 6, 201015 yr You're not supposed to shut it down!! :ook jk. Are the blades slowing down at all or just stuck in the spin mode? And do you mean nav lights where the landing lights are?They are stuck on spin mode i tried to feather the engines (I dont do this on the real cessna 310R for sure) the are still spinning! and when I turn on the landing lights I see a white light on the panel and the NAV lights are below the wingtips with the landing lights not even on their site W7 UltimateX64, Intel I2600k @ 4.1ghz, CoolerMaster v6, 8GB Ram , EVGA GTX 560ti

You have to perform a special right click on the aft third of the associated prop lever to go to feather. You notice that your controller will only take the prop levers to the DEC position.Also, see the "Critical Read-Me" to correct the light problem. FSX left out a necessary section of code. The Read-Me includes detailed instructions for how to fix that bug in FSX. It will take you only about 20 seconds to copy and paste the necessary lines to the FSX.cfg file. Remember, access the main FSX.cfg file and not the one in the game folder, but rather the one in your computer systems folder.I know everyone has heard the adage to RTFM, but in all honesty, to enjoy this airplane, you really do need to read the POH and various systems manuals for the Garmin avionics and engine monitors.Cheers,Ken

Beacuse I dont do that on the real 310R if so tell me where the manual says that or at least nobody told me that when I did my course and checkride on it :( W7 UltimateX64, Intel I2600k @ 4.1ghz, CoolerMaster v6, 8GB Ram , EVGA GTX 560ti

Are you saying when you shut off the engines on the ground that the props keep spinning? Because we never saw that! You do a normal shut down just like on all aircraft, preferrably by pulling the mixtures to full lean cutoff and then the props will stop turning.On this virtual aircraft, even if you keep the fuel pumps on the engine will shut down. On the real plane if you forget the turn off the pumps first, the engines will keep sputtering after you pull the mixtures.Ken

Im doing a nirmal shutoff as I always do on the real 310 es you said just cutting the mixture but for some reason the even with everything turned off the props keeps spinning very slow there is no way to stop them even feathering the engine!

September 6, 201015 yr This is sad, no way to fix it... There is no reinstaller also, I will try to fix it tomorrow if I can! Thanks for all Ken W7 UltimateX64, Intel I2600k @ 4.1ghz, CoolerMaster v6, 8GB Ram , EVGA GTX 560ti
September 6, 201015 yr Giorgio,I think initially I'm gong to test this out like I would the real plane.When you attempt your normal shut down and pull the mixtures to lean, please confirm these values for me:1. What are your readings on the fuel flow meters? They should of course, be zero.2. What are your CHT and EGT readings on the graphic engine monitors?3. What are your manifold pressure gauges reading? When you pulled to idle cutoff on the mixtures, did your MP gauges read outside air pressure (jump up) or do they remain at the idle settings around 3 or so inches?4. What are your RPM gauge readings? Are they showing an active RPM value or have they dropped to zero?5. What happens when you cycle the fuel cogs to the off (six o'clock) position?If all of these values are showing what they should report on cutoff, and your props are spinning, then you've truly baffled me. But, before we go any further, I'd like to get your feedback on those values.Cheers,Ken
September 6, 201015 yr Ill try that Ken, while I do that I want yo show you my other problem... This happens everytime I turn on the landing lights (I already did the critical readme) nav and strobe lights turns on! W7 UltimateX64, Intel I2600k @ 4.1ghz, CoolerMaster v6, 8GB Ram , EVGA GTX 560ti
September 6, 201015 yr Giorgio,Initially it appears to me this is a software issue and so I recommend you go the official MilViz support forums where the entire team can review the situation and try to assist.http://www.milviz.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=20Suggest you click the link above and if you have not already done so, create an account and then post your screenshot there.Cheers,Ken
September 6, 201015 yr Here is what you asked! nothing happens even turning off the fuel selectors W7 UltimateX64, Intel I2600k @ 4.1ghz, CoolerMaster v6, 8GB Ram , EVGA GTX 560ti
September 6, 201015 yr Looking at the screenshot with the totally wrong and mislocated nav/landing lights, there must have been something gone wrong with the installation.Never seen that. Have you ticked advanced animations in the FSX menu?Bernt
September 6, 201015 yr Please let me know how your purchase experience works!You might well be the first person to purchase the airplane. I don't think that accords a discount, but we sure do appreciate it! LOL!!KenPurchase experience was first class.A question while I'm waiting to get my MilViz account confirmation:Have you guys experimented with integrating an RXP GNS50 in your panel?I tried installing it into the standard panel and it works amazingly well,with one exception - the outer rings of the two knobs cannot be turned by the mouse.Everything else works and looks pretty darn good. I do know that there is a "free radio model"and I am sure that it will be possible to build the radio stack there, but I do like the 3d look.See below a coupled LPV approach into KSFO. Bert
