Few basic questions from new owner

[abz]

Just purchased the B200 from Flight1 and right now I have 2 basic questions:

 

I see that there is a SP2 - how does one tell the version or SP you currently have installed?

Just purchased yesterday so I would assume Flight1 has provided the latest service pack but would like to check to make sure.

 

How do I install the louder engine sound set that is now available?

 

Thanks, Al

Hi Al,

 

I believe a current download would include SP2.

 

Also, you can change the sounds sets by running the executable programs in the B200 folder

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado_B200_King _Air

BE900X_2.1_SOUND_SET.exe

BE900X_ORIGINAL_SOUND.exe

 

Regards,

Jim :-)

Thanks Jim. I found the sound set.exe that you pointed out above. Thanks.

Looks like I have at least SP 1 installed.

However, I do not believe my installation contains SP2.

Some of the SP 2 features shown on the Caranedo website do not appear to be there.

So I may just go ahead and install SP2.

Don't believe it can hurt even if it is already there.

 

Thanks again, Al

Good Al, yes, installing SP2 can't hurt. Also make sure you look through the forum because others have suggested a lot of useful tweaks. -- Jim :-)

Thanks Jim. I installed SP2 and it worked well. All the new features are there now.

Clearly I only had SP1 - looks like Flight 1 did not have the latest version/SP on their website.

 

Have always loved the King Air (used to fly the Aeroworx King); very happy that Caranedo came out with this plane.

Have a lot to learn again.Will review the forum and ask questions if needed.

 

Thanks again. Al

Hi,

If I recall right SP2 added the VOLT DC Check buttons on the overhead panel on the voltmeters, if you can press them to test SP2 is included if not you should look for SP2 to install.

Thanks. One other simple check is the flashing red lights on the left fuel panel on start up.

Before they were not flashing. Now they are.

yes that is a correction made by carenado. these lights are suppose to flash on startup. then die.
