Dash 8, ASN, and FSpassengers

Featured Replies

Has anyone figured out how to make all three work in terms of turbulence, G forces, WX radar, landing gear failures, and general settings across the board?  I have yet to see the WX radar display anything but giant red storms on clear skies.  Also every flight is negative G penalties and broken landing gear.  Thanks

In 1.008 you can edit the INI file and tune the turbulence effects.

 

By default they've set it at 0.75.  I have lowered it to 0.50 for now, and it looks ok.

You need the just released hotfix for the turbulence scalar.

 

After installing the turbulence is somewhat less, as majestic have set it to 0.75. Feel free to set it lower if you prefer.

I installed the hotfix but I dont see any turbulence setting in the INI.  I dont see how this would relate to the landing gear failure when FSpassenger reports a -200 ft/min landing rate.

 

What about the WX radar and ASN?  I have tried deleting the default flight from the cfg file and reloaded the aircraft several times but I still get false radar data

There are some parameters of FSPassenger that will not sync correctly due to the Majestic FDE.  We could have a look at fixing this however there is a good chance that doing so will cause unwanted results within the FDE.

The weather radar is under discussion.....and may be addressed sometime after other pressing issues are addressed.

In the .ini file there is a turbulence scaler which allows you to set the turbulence vairable of your choice.

This can be found under:
[FLIGHTCONTROLS]
TURBULENCE_FACTOR=0.75

if i dont have that setting should I assume the hotfix didnt apply properly?  Is there some other way to check?

As always be sure to:
1.  Back up your ver.1.008 mjcq8400 folder before performing any updates.
2.  Install the hotfix
3.  Navigate to your .ini folder and open the .ini file
4.  Locate the [FLIGHTCONTROLS] section and you should see the TURBULENCE_FACTOR=0.75 line at the bottom of that section.

 

If you continue having problems contact us via our Support department.

 

Thank you

So I finally got the update to install properly and I have toned down the turbulence in ASN and the Dash 8.  I still get landing gear failures in FSPX.  I was able to remove the G force penalties but i dont see anyway to stop the landing gear failure.  Is that any tweaks to the DASH or FSPX that will prevent that?  

 

Also thank you for acknowledging the issue with ASN and WX radar.  I'd love to be able to use it in the future.
