April 12, 201412 yr Commercial Member Improper weather combined with poor airmanship. Engine indications are redlining, fuel config messages, flying and climbing in buffet speeds and high OAT. Thatswhy you are having those problems. As suggested try to upgrade your FSUPIC and if possible, weather engine. Reread the posts above... OP - what does your setting say in the realism section? True or indicated. Also read the link regarding fsuipc and flap settings Rob Prest
April 12, 201412 yr Author Hi, Alex, I believe there is an issue with FSUIPC, especially older versions, where the flaps appear to be retracted but really are not. Try backing up FSUIPC.ini and allowing it to rebuild, or just uninstalling FSUIPC. It might also be fixable by installing the latest version if you don't already have it. There is also a weather issue with FSUIPC. Take a look at these two threads: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/436455-unable-to-gain-speed-or-altitude-after-takeoff/?hl=%2Bfsuipc#entry2941085 http://forum.avsim.net/topic/431155-unable-to-climb-nose-down-att/?hl=fsuipc#entry2899013 This can also happen if a weather engine is giving a high TAT, but in one of your pictures it is -4o, so that is probably not your issue. Hope this helps! Mike I will try the FSUIPC.ini delete method in a few hours when I land my A380 in YSSY. I will pop the results here then Check your FS settings, you may have switched it from indicated to true airspeed by accident. Nope. Still in "indicated air speed". After I had the problem, I just changed to an A380 and it flew fine to YSSY, so I'm thinking it is the ACFT itself rather than the weather. Improper weather combined with poor airmanship. Engine indications are redlining, fuel config messages, flying and climbing in buffet speeds and high OAT. Thatswhy you are having those problems. As suggested try to upgrade your FSUPIC and if possible, weather engine. FSUPIC is at latest version. I'm not sure how to stop engine redlining. If I pull the engines from the TOGA detent, the aircraft WILL stall into the sea, As said above, the fuel config was when I did a fuel "dump" (just changed the fuel on the FMC) to see if I'd get the A/C to clmb when light, but because I was dealing with a stall, I couldn't look up and turn the C fuel pump switches to OFF. Don't know if this is related to Sqawk Box at all, since I believe that if you use fsiin weather and have it checked cause issues as well, wonder if sqawk has the same issues as fsiin? This could be unrelated to your issues but just a guess The people on the Vatsim Facebook page couldn't help, but the told me to disable SB weather and use FSrealWX lite OP - what does your setting say in the realism section? True or indicated. Also read the link regarding fsuipc and flap settings Indicated airspeed. I'm sure it can't be the flaps, because I changed it to an A380 without closing FSX, and it is flying fine (still flying atm to YSSY) I didn't lose my mind... I sold it on eBay! :huh: I know eventually I'll forget to type me name in a post :rolleyes: , so here it is: Alexander Speer
April 12, 201412 yr Commercial Member The flap issue is related to PMDG. Please read the links that we have provided.. Rob Prest
April 12, 201412 yr Author If you look at the EGT they are red boxed, meaning exceedance. If I did pull back on the throttles, even just a bit, my aircraft would loose the last bit of airspeed & lift it had and tumble into the sea just off the end of RWY 12 :( The flap issue is related to PMDG. Please read the links that we have provided.. Ok, thank you, I will have a flick through them now :-) I didn't lose my mind... I sold it on eBay! :huh: I know eventually I'll forget to type me name in a post :rolleyes: , so here it is: Alexander Speer
April 12, 201412 yr Commercial Member Get rid of the weather programs and try it with clear weather. Does it fly now? Best regards, Robin.

April 12, 201412 yr Author Thank you for the links Mike777, after I land my A380, I will delete the FSUIPC4.ini and let it build a new one. Hopefully my "flaps will retract". Come to think of it, on one of my "mid air near stalls" the EICAS and FLT CTRL page showed flaps up, gear up and spoilers retracted, but the PFD showed the green "UP" as a reference (just like on T/O during retraction). I didn't lose my mind... I sold it on eBay! :huh: I know eventually I'll forget to type me name in a post :rolleyes: , so here it is: Alexander Speer
April 12, 201412 yr Author Guys. Thanks for your help. I deleted the FSUIPC4.ini file and rebuilt it. Here is a screenshot of it all working now Thanks, Alex :-) http://s848.photobucket.com/user/Alex_Speer/media/Untitled_zpse6ab1e13.png.html I didn't lose my mind...
