>I'm not to only one waiting for FSD to respond.See my explanation elsewhere in this discussion, which may apply to those you allege are "waiting". Our policy is stated in our anchored post "New FSD Forum Registrations". It is perhaps useful to note that some other developers require you register - supplying your customer ID data - before you can even read their forums. .....Regards,http://www.fsd-international.com/team/Steve_signature.gif

>Check your last six sales and see who has tried to register!McCrash,If you would like to communicate with us directly (i.e. not anonymously) then I am quite sure we will be able to assist you......Regards,http://www.fsd-international.com/team/Steve_signature.gif

Physic?Then I don't know what forums you are going to, because all of the leading flight sim forums have the same kind of rules and registration procedures as simflight, including the one you are on now.Sure its true that some forums on the Internet are like the wild west, and anyone can join and basically run amok. And it is quite easy to distinguish the writing of a mature adult from an ill mannered adolescent. All the leading flight sim forums went through that nightmare for a few years a decade ago, and that's why they all have pretty much identical forum rules and registration procedures.

I'm interested in purchasing the AC. But I need to know if FSD will remove their gauge protection and allow me to add or remove gauges on the 2D and VC panels to my liking using FS Panel studio.Bill M

I have it and love it, but I'm using it in FS9. No hit on FPS with my mid to upper-end Dell XPS. As someone mentioned above, it was the plane that JFK Jr was flying on from Caldwell Essex County to Marth's Vineyard on that fateful summer evening in 1999. I have recreated that flight for FS, using weather from online reports of conditions as they were that night. Whenever I do that flight, I am always left wondering why, with such high tech avionics and autopilot, that flight ended the way it did. Avsim has understandably denied my posting the files in the past due to the circumstances surrounding the outcome of the flight and I suppose out of respect for the families. If anyone is interested in the flightplan and weather settings, email me and I'll forward them to you. Put "JFK Flight" in the email topic box to avoid the anti-spam folder.http://www.my-buddy-icon.com/Icons/objects/red_3d_plane.gifAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, [email protected]

I am refering to the Std model.The beeping is every three seconds.Excedence is RPM.But the rpm is only 2998 and I'm only using 68% power while climbing at 300 fpm at around 4000 agl. Of course flaps and gears are up.Fuel is 102 gals, two people, baggage is set at half in each location.The beeping never goes away even when adjusting the throttle!I don't see any red dots on the gauges either.

McCrash,I'm no export on this ac, but the specs included in the documentation say that the engine is 'rated' 2500 rpm. If you decrease the rpm I guess the beeping will go away.Ulf B

The RPM is prop RPM and should never exceed 2500 rpm. The throttle will have little or no effect on prop rpm at any climb or cruise settintg - you have to adjust prop rpm with ctl F2 or ctl F3 (or the FSX equivalent) or the prop lever. Your 2998 sounds like a manifold pressure reading.DJ

I think there may be a typo in the message above ... 2998 may have been meant to be typed as 2498 which is about what the tool-tip would report. The engine will not exceed 2500 RPM, which is the (governed) maximum RPM. The beeping may be due to engine abuse and/or damage modelling : you can use the Load Manager to effect maintenance and repairs. You can also change the way the system damage/maintenance alarms report the same way.Please contact us direct if you have ongoing problems......Regards,http://www.fsd-international.com/team/Steve_signature.gif

That's what is in the air file. But of course it should be 2500. At 2500 rpm I can just barely climb at 200 fpm at 89 knots. Is this about right?Also it's extremely difficult to set the throttle to 2500 rpm; it just will not stabilize, requiring constant adjustments every couple of minutes or so. Otherwize BEEP!
