  2. straight outta manual Fuel Pumps The Turbine Duke has two electric fuel pumps per engine, controlled via rocker switches on the pilot’s upper side panel. The “Wing Pump” is a submerged wet pump, operating within the fuel tanks, at the lowest point in the fuel system. The “Aux Pump” is an in-line pump operating within the engine nacelle. The fuel system is designed to only have one fuel pump per engine operating at a time. During crossfeeding operations, the auxiliary pump of the engine receiving the crossfeed must be disabled to avoid a fuel overpressure. All four fuel pumps must be functional for takeof

    Gosh, it's no wonder one of the Boeings had to return since they had "stuck rubber pedals!" Got to love those darn AI voices... 🥰
  4. Today
  5. Ah! Dave from Dave's Garage! One of my favorite YouTubers. He and his two sons are among the best mechanics I have ever known. Dave is an excellent technician and teacher. It's no wonder that their rebuilt engines are sold around the world! 😉
  6. 3 hours ago, rfelger said: figured it out, need to have wing pumps on Those are the things that make the wings flap up and down, right? -------------------- Nobody held me back, they should've, couldn't resist...
  7. Really: Wow...There were a few Steve Jobs moments. BIG NEWS from minute 14:28 on Just watch:
  8. Neither one, thank you. I did see a lovely 1928 Bugatti a few days ago, upfitted with a 40 Hp Volkswagen engine... lol!
  9. Yea it handled as I would expect it to. I dont have any time in a Duke IRL but have a few hundred hours teaching in piston twins and several thousand in jets
  10. It may be better to ask advice directly from the software manufacturer. Go to Wilco's technical assistance page: https://www.wilcopub.com/technicalassistance/
  11. I can't wait for the Avsim staff party.😁
  12. I too have my browser set to save my PW. Saves a lot of pain.
  13. This horse has been beat to death. Do a search as several solutions have been offered.
  14. Yeah, I figured I'd give it a shot - may get lucky. So far, have had a couple of flights - nice little plane.
  15. Love the PMS50, but the other day I went to pop out PMS50 screen onto another screen and nothing, well not quite nothing, I get a slight screen flicker and then nothing. I looked at all my monitors and made sure it was not hiding. Has any one ran into this?
  16. I do understand that the bee in my bonnet is particularly big on this issue😅
  17. I have not tried it yet with a Just Flight installer. But most cases, SWS as an example, the installer finds the file right where I moved it to and does the updates just fine. The next update you have, you should give it an opportunity to find the install where you placed it and see what happens.
  18. I have had this ECAM alert about the sidestick fault in the Fenix repeatedly of late. Initially, I thought the problem was related to using a decades old MS Sidewinder flight stick, assuming that the old stick was no longer providing accurate control inputs. So, I just purchased a Thrustmaster Airbus flight stick to replace the old Sidewinder and guess what? The same sidestick fault message appeared with the new stick. Putting the stick thru the motions on the MCDU calibration page did not help for long, nor did trying adjustments to the null zones. But the Fenix knowledge base article about this fault included a note that some have found the problem can occur on multiple devices if a button on a device was used to control the autopilot. Sure enough, after deleting button assignments on my flight stick and throttle quadrant that disengaged the AP, the error no longer occurred. And when I reassigned a controller button to the AP, the side stick fault message promptly returned. I have no idea why a simple button assignment that I use to disengage the AP when a few hundred feet above the runway would cause this fault message, but it’s clearly the culprit. Wish there was a fix for this, as it is awkward to have to disengage the AP during landing with a mouse click on the flight deck’s AP button! Anyone else experiencing this bit of nonsense? Rich
  19. At EIDW, there's taxiway F, which is split into parallel 'inner' and 'outer' taxiways. Before 28R became operational, taxi instructions in an earlier sim for the correct layout were: [Callsign], taxi to gate 109 via taxiway Echo 6, Bravo 6, Bravo 5, Bravo 4, Mike 2, Mike 1, Foxtrot Oscar Uniform Tango Echo Romeo, Link 5, Foxtrot India November November Echo Romeo. 😅 Anyone would think EIDW was the size of KDEN with that set of instructions! Also, default MSFS ATC not great. Nearly always referred to as 'R' 'Y' 'an' 'air' 5 Yankee Papa during my flight as RYR5YP yesterday.
  20. There was a while, shortly after release of MSFS, when that was all some people (Well, one in particular) could bring up!🙄😊
  21. I'm using the TQ6, but I found that by changing the assignment in FSUIPC to send as a directly MSFS axis (probably don't have that wording exactly right) and then assigning my levers to mixture, I could get them to contrl the mixture, but the levers in the aircraft wouldn't actually move. I'm not sure why it's always the mixture levers if there's going to be a problem with addon planes and FSUIPC assignments...
  22. Yesterday
  23. A long way from home! Unexpected and enjoyable.
  24. I'm glad you got MSFS going again. If you do install the app again, try installing without any auto-start options so that you can guarantee that the EXE.xml and any other MSFS file isn't modified.
  25. One way would be to define your own XML Presets that use the needed Key Events. Another way would be to use Lua scripts that execute calculator code or a control from the FSUIPC controls list. Also, a lot of the standard FSUIPC bindings execute K events, so worth a try. Al
