I'm confused as to how to get the two working together, I have in the past. But forgot how. Can anyone help me?

Can you give a little more information on what is happening? They are two separate things and should have no problem working "together".

If you start the erj it has to spool up like the pmdg aircrafts do, if you add in rc4 early it sends you to a random point in the airport. If you wait it works fine. Am I not waiting long enough? The erj also tends to move forward by default could this be part of the issue?

I don't remember where or how exactly but I think if your RC4 flight plan includes a start position in it or you tell RC4 to move your aircraft to your startup position, it will move it to that point on the airport. I'm sorry I don't have much more info than that but hopefully someone else can fill in the blanks here.

 

The erj moving forward...dumb question, but do you have the parking brake set?

That makes sense so maybe start the flight plan with a waypoint at the gate? No it's one of those aircraft with a reverse and I don't quite know how to get those into idle yet.

I assume the flight plan you are loading in RC4 begins at the airport that your aircraft is already loaded at too, right? So, for instance, if you're flying from KLAX to KSFO, make sure your aircraft is already at KLAX before you load the flight plan into RC4. If you're already doing that, then, another thing it could be is a bad AFCAD for the airport that you're at. I've had that happen too but it usually really moves your aircraft - like it "bounces" up in the air and/or moves laterally to some random point on the planet and no where near the airport you want to be at. The last time I saw this was at a freeware airport for Calgary, Canada. When using that airport and then loading my RC4 flight plan, my aircraft would end up in some field somewhere away from the airport. So, it could be a problem with the scenery too though if you are experiencing this everywhere, then that is probably not the problem. If none of this seems like it could help, then I'd repost in the RC4 forum and see what kind of help you can get in there.

 

As for the ERJ, do you start up with the engines off? You can save a flight or configure the ERJ(if possible) to start up with engines off. Then, whether you have parking brakes on or not, you shouldn't move anywhere. In theory anyway.

Here's the sequence I use for any aircraft to work with RC:

 

First load FS and bring up your aircraft parked at the gate or ramp engines off. (I have a default flight saved with a baron parked at such a gate engines off, clear weather theme, avionics on (but I have the "magic battery from a registered FSUIPC so the battery does not run down without generators. This type of default flight is necessary to initialize the background processes when you first load FS before you load your saved flight or create one.). If an FMC or GPS is used I load or set up the same .pln as RC will get with a few changes. If you have to load the .pln into FS be sure you tell FS not to position your aircraft. Start up any weather app so ai will stabilize and any performance settings for your aircraft guidance systems if used. Load your fuel.

 

Load RC and load your flight plan into it. Make any desired changes in the controller page such as cruise altitude if desired, decide on the NOTAMS option (see the manual), etc. Go back to the main page and accept the default or choose the controller departure type (see tutorials). Start your engines or aux power unit to supply battery charging or use ground power if that option is available and turn on the avionics.

 

At this point you can press the start button on RC and the menu should appear in the cockpit view. RC should not move your aircraft unless there is a major discrepancy in the location of your aircraft and RC's scenery data.

 

You can now get the weather through the RC menu and finish setting up your aircraft.

 

If you get a major move from your parked area when you start RC then you have a flight plan/RC scenery data base problem.

 

If so, shut everything down. Be sure your fsuipc is current from:

http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66139-updated-modules/

and makerwys.exe from:

http://forum.simflight.com/topic/66136-useful-additional-programs/

 

If you replace makerwys.exe in your FS folder, start RC and rerun the scenery data rebuild from within RC. If RC and FS are on different computers you will have to run makerwys.exe directly in your FS folder first. Be sure you use the correct path to FS when queried. Then close RC and restart when ready.

 

RC will only move your aircraft if your .pln file and RC scenery airport data has a problem and RC is reading a difference of your aircraft location and the RC calculated runways/taxiways center is greater than a certain distance. Only Aerosoft's Heathrow has been mentioned causing this problem.

 

A couple of "crew" type applications can interfere in certain cases. For now, just run RC, weather, and FS.

 

Which erj type do you have? if a turbo-prop make sure you are on ground idle until you are ready to enter the runway, then put the idle condition into flight mode. If you do not do this the aircraft can creep due to the high idle power and you will find yourself constantly braking during taxi. Jets do not have a condition lever that biases the engine rpm.

 

See if anything helps.
