Another one here with the sound problem.

 

Have tried all sorts of things, to no avail; sound always cuts out about ten minutes into whatever I'm doing.

 

Have even tried editing the sound config settings in mjc84.ini (which is what the sim's control panel does, btw), with no luck. Got the sound to come out of my tinny monitor speakers, at least! - but it still cuts out. I set it back to map to my SBZ card and headphones, so it doesn't annoy the neighbors and their dog.

 

There better be a patch for this, it would be a real shame to have to send it back.

How large is the download file please?

 

thx

Hi,

 

@Pict: Is it common on the Q400 to rim the aircraft before you start your takeoff run?

 

Kind regards

Did you click the WXR/Terrain button the the MFD panel?  the MFD's only display terrain or WXR (not both together) and appear to default to terrain display.  You need to toggle WXR on the MFD control panel after turning on the radar from it's own seperate control panel.

That must be it then, thanks.

Yup its common with any turboprop without counter rotating props actually. By default msfs does not simulate the prop effects that well, by going outside of the msfs model, majestic's q400 will show the more pronounced reactions you'll get in real life (and like real life the trims make life easier and prevents tired limbs :-D )

Still can't figure out why my pressurization warns me on takeoff and when I climb. What did I do wrong?

How to depart an airfield that doesnt have an sid?? Had to enter the ICAO code in the nav part to the nearest wpt.. but I would assume there is another way of selecting the runway for depart in the fpl menu page.

 

Manual says nothing..

Doors closed? Engine bleeds on? Cabin pressurization more selector set to auto?

 

To quote the System Manual: "Sudden appearance of the cabin pressure warning light will most likely indicate the bleed selectors have been left OFF, or the system left in DUMP mode."

Does anyone have Saitek TQ buttons working with the various light switches on this bird (landing, strobe, taxi, etc...)?

 

I have the FSUIPC axis setup and working for all levers (send to FS as normal axis) and even my LUA Throttle reverser scripts are working.

 

But, I can't get my normal FSUIPC assigned buttons to work the various lights.  A FSUIPC assigned button is working the parking brake, so there are some things the model is recognizing as a standard FS button assignment.

 

Can someone with a Saitek TQ using standard FS controls (not through FSUIPC) tell me if they can successfuly map a button to any of the lights - landing, taxi, strobe, etc?  Anyone else using FSUIPC buttons and toggling the various lights?

 

Thanks,

Fly runway heading via HDG SEL then DTO to next waypoint?

As I (attempted to) write, I have used other ways to insert my waypoint, and are now seeing if there is other ways to do it

 

Thanks tho

Actually that brings up another question: Is it possible to create manual waypoints in this FMC? Or indeed, should it be possible with this particular model?

If you are looking for takeoff/landing data go to www.aurasim.com, its seems a side project for the m q400. Its a efb webbased site only aircraft at the moment id the q400, free btw.

Manual waypoints can be defined in the real deal, but I don't think that's possible with the current simulation, although I'm unsure about that and haven't tried yet.

Checked all that and everything seemed okay, maybe it didn't like closing fs then opening it again without a computer restart. I'll try again my next flight. Thanks for the help.
