December 12, 200223 yr Hey just notice on page 92 93 of instruction manual about different option that will show up on the menu while flying. I did notice that some will only show up when certain things happen, but my questions is this:Why doesn't options like emergency or low on fuel show up while flying or near your destination. I was running low the other night and got the closed window on approach and didn't know how to tell my atc that I was about to ditch low on fuel. No option in the menue to do so. Am I supposed be be bringing those situation up by pressing some other keys like RC 2.2? Or should they be already in my menu as I am flying, I don't seem them. As a matter of fast I don't see the missed approach menu when I am landing like the manual says.What I see when I am in cruise is leave for weather and request higher or lower altitude. Then previous on the bottom of the menu that is it.Secondly, do you have to dock the adv display to get it to work. I noticed on my Captin Sim 727 there is no place that it will work on the panel. The panel cfg file is in archive mode so it just is to crowded it won't fit anywhere. Do I have to dock it to make it work?ThanksThe BugmanJackson, Tennesseehttp://jdtllc.com/images/RCsupporter.jpg
December 12, 200223 yr Commercial Member declaring minimum fuel was put in there long ago, to cleanly you get out of a holding pattern. you still had to talk to bill stevens, but it could save some time, when you're flying late at night.you can declare emergencies in departure, center and approach. if you are on arrival tower, by the time you answer all the questions, you could have landed it.i guess we didn't put low on fuel as an emergency option? you could always choose fuel leak as your emergency.someone said that the captain sim panel, isn't a panel, but one giant gauge. that could be a problem to find someplace to hang advdisp on. maybe we'll mention that to peter, and see if he has another enhancement up his sleeve.

December 12, 200223 yr Jd thanks for the quick reply, But my main problem is those things dont show up as options. You stated:you could always choose fule leas as your emergencyWhere is that option to do so. I don't see the option in the adventure display that says emergency. So my questions is: How do I declare an emergency? I have no option in the display window to do so.The BugmanJackson, Tennesseehttp://jdtllc.com/images/RCsupporter.jpg
December 12, 200223 yr Keep paging (9) until you see "EMERGENCY!" It can be five pages 'till you see it.
December 12, 200223 yr Also, be sure to size the advdisp window tall enough to see the 5 lines of options.Best, Rob
