[Guest aarskringspier]

Well I bought it and must say its pretty sweet. On my way from PANC to CYVR very cool plane. Wish the reresh of the guages was smoother in the VC

Hoping I dont have a major problem here :-(Wa sitting there right after loading her up and was adjusting the heading when FS crashed and I got a nasty message telling me that my "video card quit responsing properly" and to reset the computer to restore display.I just downloaded a new nvidia driver that was released actually just yesterday -- going to try again after this install of drivers and a windows update. Apparently a new version of the .NET framework came out too -- maybe that will help.Wish me luck . . .

Seems the updates either worked or that crash was just a fluke LOL -- and now that my computer stayed stable all i can say is WOW!!!I love the EICAS, I love the sound improvements and I LOVE having reversers back. It felt good to nail an 8R landing again!!!!Sounds and reversers were the only issues I was having and now they are FIXED!!! With BONUSES!!!Thanks, Captain Sim!By the way -- anyone know if they have any plans to do the glass cockpit version of the C-130 at a later date? I'd happily pay for such an expansion.

I still can't get the configurator to save my settings, fuel and payload don't save?

[Guest aarskringspier]

Saved with mine just fine.

>I still can't get the configurator to save my settings, fuel>and payload don't save?They only save if you use ACE to launch FS. I keep trying to save the red dome light and it doesn't want to save. Yet for some reason my loadout and EICAS did save just fine. Still happy with the dynamics though.Tomorrow I will just look up the line in my CFG and change the dom light illumination meself :-)BTW -- happy "dead bird on a plate with lot's of other food" day, everyone.

you mean, happy killed a lot of natives and stole their land day? :) I am not a fan of this holiday but it is nice to get a long weekend from work.So the ACE doesn't save if you don't hit launch FS? ugh. And is the red dome light realistic?

>you mean, happy killed a lot of natives and stole their land>day? :) I am not a fan of this holiday but it is nice to get a>long weekend from work.The first Thanksgiving was celebrated along with the local indigenous population.OTOH, I'm all for a "Geronimo Day" holiday, where we can properly celebrate the killing and taking part...and get a free day off in the process!But in the true Spirit of Democratic Self-Loathing, we should have a "Welfare Day" so that we can celebrate the unique culture and spectacular non-contributions of generations of the lazy...and of course take another day off. Seems appropriate.Happy Caloric Overload DayBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile

Seems like the ACE launches the "Previous Flight" when uou "Fly Now" from Save. So, what I do is this.1. Start fs the normal way2. Load Cessna with everything off at the place/time I wanna fly the Herk3. Quit fs with Ctrl + c4. Start Herc flight from ACEI like to continue from where I left fs anyway, so normally I load the Cessna before I quit just to get a nice ac reset before I load some complicated aircraft. That way starting from ACE is no problem :).Eagle

And>is the red dome light realistic?Wrong holiday -- you are thinking of Columbus Day . . . **hides from the impending flames** Either way I am off to eat some turkey legs Renaissance style :-)

They don't seem to have a problem with the holiday. Columbus Day does make some unhappy, for many reasons, like the idea that he "first discovered" America, and for the fact that he saw the people of the Caribbean as great candidates for slavery. This began the historical period of the conquistadors, not a pretty picture. Such is the history of humankind, an evil race we are, given to all kinds of depravity.In honor of Thanksgiving, I think I will purchase the C130. After I give thanks, of course. K

Just to come vaguely back onto topic, I happily installed 1.1 (after uninstalling 1.0) last night, changed some settings on the 1980s RAF C130K in ACE - specifically including the flag which used to require being launched directly from ACE in order to change. Save changes, exit, then launched FS using my own "FS9-4Eng" link and all the modifications were in place. I did not have to launch FS from ACE for the changes to be saved.Cheers,Ian P.(Edit: opening underline and closing italic does not work properly... D'OH!)

[Guest]

it would be appropriate if thats what welfare was used for, thankfully it is not. Columbus day, on the other hand, fits that description nicely, but I see someone already pointed that out

All, I downloaded the update and uninstalled the original prior to reinstalling the new. When I went to install I was greeted with themessage that I had installed on more the 2 machines and was not allowedto install.I sent Captain Sim an e-mail explaining my situation at approx 6 PM onThanksgiving Day.I got up this am and checked my e-mail and had received one from themtelling me I was now able to install and it worked fine.Just wanted to post this because of all the bad press Captain Sim hasreceived in the past.So thanks for a timeley update as well as solving my problem Captain Sim.A satisfied customer.Craig

It is true . . .ACE did indeed save all settings . . .BUT . . . . I just looked in my panel.cfg folder and the RGB valus saved do indeed correspond to the "red" setting, but when i load my AC the VC is white lighting. **shrugs** wierd.Everything else saves okay though. At first I thought loads weren't saving because I couldnt see anything in the cargo, but then realized they only did the hummers for the OUTside animation . . . not inside modeling. Checking my weights confirmed that two hummers were indeed loaded :-)So I guess with the exception of cockpit lighiting everything works great withOUT using ACE to load :-)
