Pink parachute-things at 33000 feet?

Featured Replies

In fsx, when I reach 33,000 feet, there are i think four pink parachute things that teleport themselves to the plane's position every few seconds.

Does anyone know what these are?

If you need the addons I have i will try to list them. I can send a pic too.

 

Thanks!

Fred

what you describe sounds like part of the Test package option. Check your FMC to turn that off. Perhaps that is what you are seeing.

What do you mean by "test package"? I am using the 737NGX without the Flight Test Package enabled, if that is what you mean.

yes, disable it, and see if the issue goes away

Describe them: where are they, what do they look like, where are they located - interior/exterior - and where in the interior/exterior are the located?

Without a picture, you'll have to help us imagine what you're looking at.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Sounds a bit like this flight/glide path thing that was coming with FS9 and its tutorial/flight lesson stuff with rod machado... no idea if it was still implemented in FSX but if yes it could be accidentally triggered, couldn‘t it?

Fred,

you need to upload the picture to a hosting site like imgur.com and then you can share the link here.
