December 11, 200619 yr Guys,When you find bugs, please, please, please send them to [email protected]. Announcing them here is cool to read about, but doesn't get them into the ACES priority list in most cases. They do read all emails to this address and even act on them when they can. The earlier they get them, the more likely the fixes can get into SP1. And the cool thing is, if you do it often enough (apparently the ACES guys and gals even like to read these things. I guess it makes them feel appreciated.), if you are using Outlook, when you hit the t key in the "Send To" line, [email protected] will be your first choice in the little fillin help field thingy! :)Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180 Tom Perry
December 11, 200619 yr BTW, Ron, did you ever get in touch with anyone from ACES? I'd love to hear a report of your findings.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180 Tom Perry

December 12, 200619 yr Well, hopefully they will follow through.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180 Tom Perry
December 13, 200619 yr Changing the gauge string from "PPH" to "pounds per hour" seems to give a reasonable FF rate - based on the fact that these are MS default aircraft.In testing:- On ground at idle thrust, showing 975 PPH/engine, 1950# total fuel onboard - engines flamed out (ran out of fuel) at 59 minutes 30 seconds.- In flight, FL350, showing 5000 PPH/engine, 10002# total fuel onboard - engines flamed out at 1 hour 0 minutes 15 seconds.While the fuel flow rates may not by exact (or maybe not even close) to the RW aircraft, at least the gauges now "appear" to show a somewhat more reasonable fuel flow - 975 PPH at idle versus 122.8 PPH at idle (same holds true in cruise).__________I'm still looking into the standby altimeter. No major breakthrough yet.__________The click spots for radio tuning do work correctly in the 2D cockpit. I'm not sure how to tweak the click spots in the VC without altering them in the 2D cockpit (at least I haven't been able to find a way). Maybe someone else can have a look and figure this out.Gene Gene
