January 22, 200323 yr The past 3-4 flights I've done, regardless of what altitude I put into the controller page, CD tells me to expect flight level 600. If I minimize FS and look at RC, it says 600 in the altitude box. I'm 100% positive I put the correct alt in there.Should I re-install RC? What d'ya think?Thanks, Adam
January 22, 200323 yr Oh yeah, also, I'm getting VOR morse code signals constantly. I can turn off the ones coming in on the DreamFleet 734 radio, but I have no idea where the other sound is coming from and can do nothing to turn it off. Does that have anything to do with RC?Thanks again, Adam
January 22, 200323 yr No, it doesn't. On the default panels there is a click spot to turn the VOR audio identifier on/off. Probably near to the Nav radio is my guess. I never turn them on in the first place but I know you can. LOLRob
January 22, 200323 yr Commercial Member what are you putting into the cruise altitude on the controllers page. it is in flight level format, so 34000 would be 340if you put in 34000, then rc will think you want to cruise at 3,400,000 ft. anything over fl600 is going to be referenced as fl600. you don't have flight levels above 600. not many people up theremy guess, you're putting the cruise altitude in the wrong format JD Read my blog
January 22, 200323 yr I bet you're right. I did put 32000 in the box. Odd, as up until the last several flights I just put it in as 320 or similar, and I've been using RC every day since it came out.How numb of me. I just reformatted my HDD and installed everything again. Apparently I reformatted my brain too. Sorry for having wasted your time!As you can see by my new sig ;), I love RC!Thanks, Adam
January 22, 200323 yr Hi Rob, Odd as I'm using DF734. I can find anywhere else to shut off the morse. I'm sure I'll find it at some point.Thanks, Adam
January 22, 200323 yr Adam,It'll be in the manual. I'm sure it's buttons next to the Nav1, Nav2 and ADF radios.If you knew Morse code, you'd know which it is. ;-)
January 22, 200323 yr Hi AdamAbout the Morsecode, I think that you accidentally have chosen key shortcuts that toggles this on your panel. It's been a long time since I have flown the dream fleet 374, but as I recall the short key for Nav1/2 is crtl/shift-1 and crtl/shift-2. If you reassign your keys in RC3 it might help Cheers -Lars
January 22, 200323 yr Thanks guys, This is strange though. I can hear the normal DF734 radio morse code. But I'm getting a higher pitched repeat of the morse code in between DF's radio. I'm well used to DF's radio sounds and always tune my nav radios such that the morse codeacts as a warning to me that I'm now in range of a particular VOR. As soon as I aquire the morse code signal I turn off the corresponding NAV sound button and the morse stops. This other sound comes in between the DF radio morse as previously stated at a higher pitch, though it is the same VOR morse signal. Turning off the DF nav speaker, does in fact stop DF's radio morse, but the other higher pitched morse continues.It must be some setting that was reset when I re-installed FS2002 and DF.Sorry if this is confusing sounding...it's early! I'll get it figured out in time. I'll look into key combos.Thanks again, Adam
January 24, 200323 yr Hi,I made the same mistake, only because I hovered the mouse above the altitude box and it popped up something like:Flight Level nnnnnnand I assumed that it wanted all six digits. Does anybody else see the 'nnnnn'?Also as log as there are DF734 jock's on this thread:After install of RC3.0, I don't get the DF copilot calling out the 'airspeed active, crosscheck' and the V callouts anymore. HAs this happened to your 737-400's?
January 24, 200323 yr The solution to your problem? Easy! Fly an Airbus ;)Best regards,Vasco MedeirosSAS597
January 25, 200323 yr Vasco,Yeah, AB's are good planes buteven with the rudder control servo problems on the 737's, I just like knowing that there is a bunch of good old-fashioned control cables between me and the airplane!
March 4, 200323 yr I've been doing my flight planning in fsnav. When I load it in RC 3, my cruise altitude is wrong. I think it defaulted to 4000 ft the first time I used it. I know I can change it in the controller options, but is there a way that it will automatically use the fsnav cruise alt automatically? I ask because my differen flight plans have different cruise alt and I don't want to have to keep changing it in RC each time.Thanks
March 4, 200323 yr Ed,RC does use the altitude in the plan exported from FSNav. Make sure it's set right there before exporting.If you had a previous plan with the same name, then RC saved a file the same name as the plan with a .rc3 extention in the plans directory. You can always delete the .rc3 file before running RC to make sure RC uses the new plan altitude.
