Out of The Ashes: The New Black Phoenix Phenom 100E GTN-750 Mod

[bbuckley 133]

@Novej757 Hey! I've been absolutely loving this airplane. I fly it a LOT! But one question: now that it's getting darker earlier (and I fly online with real world time and weather) I'd like to convert the flashing landing lights to steady. They are brighter than the taxi lights and in P3Dv4 they're needed.

Awesome work!

Hmmm for me in fsx they are the same intensity.  This must be a P3D lighting thing.  I will def look into this when i get a chance.  I may need you to test it for me if i figure something out.

Hey @bbuckley try this:

Use Notepad and open your panel.cfg file

scroll down to the "[Vcockpit02]" section

place a "//" in front of gauge09......  It should look like this

"//gauge09=PulseLights!PulsingLightsControl, 0,0,0,1"

save and close the panel.cfg

That should work as your disabling the pulse light xml  Let me know.....

@Novej757 That did it, landing light steady. About the brightness, from an exterior view the taxi and landing light intensities are the same, but from inside the VC the landing light is significantly brighter. Was great on rollout.

Thanks,

Bruce

Great.  Glad that's what you were looking for, maybe I'll look at changing the order and make the Landing light position steady and the Taxi light position the pulsing (shrug).  I guess it doesn't need pulsing lights....I just always thought that was a cool feature, especially the Wig wag (left on right off left off right on) pattern.  Unfortunately that has to be programmed into the actual model to simulate it.

[bbuckley 133]

Oh I thought it was a cool feature, I just needed to actually use the landing light. to see... 😂

Hey Everyone!

 

@Novej757 I got this bird loaded, but I am having some issues it seems. First issue is I don't have split PFD to show engine info like the video or the screenshots.

Second issue is my weather radar is not displaying weather. Even when I put in test mode. I made sure to turn of cockpit reflections like the readme states. 

Hopefully I didn't miss something simple. Hopefully I can find something on the first few pages to figure this all out. But any help is appreciated. 

 

Thanks everyone. 

[bbuckley 133]

@EuroMike After the PFD reverts to the normal display, just press (left click) the little red button to the left of the PFD at the bottom of the com panel, marked "DISPLAY BACKUP", and the engine data reappears.

I've never seen wx displayed in test mode. If you are getting a good wx radar displayed and can change modes. Load up on a runway at an airport with storms ahead and try turning it all the way to On with antenna angle 0 or +1 degrees and range out to 80nm to see if it displays the wx then.

Hey thanks @bbuckley if I could I'd make you a moderator on this thread with all the help you've been giving when I'm not around Thanks

Hey Mike did you get this resolved yet?  Also what sim are you flying her in?  Make sure you have the right weather gauge for the sim you are using (see instructions in download)...

[bbuckley 133]

@Novej757 Love your airplane and love to try to help.

Finally I got the P3D4.5 HF2 reinstalled. One of the first aircrafts I installed, was the Phenom 100. Did some testing. Horror FMC. Never ever buy anything from Carenado where no GTN mod available. Thanks Novej757, you made my day!

Cheers Jens

I received the Phenom 100 mod and downloaded the zip file.  The instructions said to transfer the model and sound folders to the Black Phoenix folder and place that folder in the FSX aircraft folder. There were no other files.  I started up the simulator and the regular Phenom 100 aircraft loaded but I got nothing from the Black Phoenix program. Something is missing.  FSX doesn't recognize the file.

I don't have the dropbox  and the Zip file was downloaded to my computer.

Jevon,

     I finally got FSX to recognize the Black phoenix-phenom and it is now working.  I still don't know

what was wrong to start with but I kept opening the files one at a time until the GTN configuration tool

added it to its list of aircraft.  Once it did that I was able the fly the aircraft from Haward to Bakersfield

with waypoints and make a good landing.

        It's a nice aircraft -- you did a great job and I like it very much.  Keep up the good work.
