I don't usually paint non VA aircraft but I needed a change and this livery intrigued me, so I applied it to the Aerosim version.VP-BAT Boeing 747SP-21 Worldwide Aircraft Holdinghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/147154.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/147155.jpgI think it's reasonably close to the pics at Airliners.net?I'm not completely happy with the tail logo so if anyone knows of a good resolution version I'll amend it.ThanksJackhttp://www.dolphin-star.net/TCA/Paintshop/ybanner_tca_FM.jpgIntel P4 3.06Ghz 533FSB HT| 2GB Corsair 333Mhz PC2700 DDR | Asus P4P800 Deluxe | 2 x 120GB Maxtor ATA-133| Sapphire ATI 9800pro 128MB | Creative Audigy 2

An interesting thread indeed, the key bit being from your own post-<<"The only procedure that will work all of the time is;1) Invoke the default flight environmentTHEN2) Invoke the actual aircraft to be usedTHEN3) Invoke the actual flight environment to be usedUnless the developer mandates use of a specific baseline.FLT environment instead." (In which case, the baseline.FLT is the ONLY way to make sure that you're properly set up to start a flight.)We often start the baseline flight, move the AC to another part of the world and then re-save as another flight name without ever starting the engines so that the AC state is preserved as much as possible in the new location. This works well most of the time, but I agree that it does pose some small risk. But the main point of this entire thread seems to be that some people think it's ok to swap straight from one AC to another... and the fact is that this patently false because it's NOT a good idea. We all do it from time to time but many of us know that there is always a chance that it's a move that will blow up in our faces. It is not a myth, it's a simple fact of life when dealing with computers and saved variables.Saved variables from a saved non-default or non-baseling flight are just as liable to mess things up as the saved variables in memory if you swap AC in mid-air. It has nothing to do with aircraft of aircraft developers and everything to do with computers and how they save / retrieve information.Scott / Vorlin>>Examining the .FLT files in notebook is very revealing.Needless to say it did solve the problem. many thanks.Jackhttp://www.dolphin-star.net/TCA/Paintshop/ybanner_tca_FM.jpgIntel P4 3.06Ghz 533FSB HT| 2GB Corsair 333Mhz PC2700 DDR | Asus P4P800 Deluxe | 2 x 120GB Maxtor ATA-133| Sapphire ATI 9800pro 128MB | Creative Audigy 2

Hi,I'm using a 3rd party aircraft that seems to have the autopilot active (on) by default when the aircraft loads. If you don't remember to deactivate it the take off roll lasts all the way to your destination. I'm hoping someone can point me to a missing line in one of the cfg files please?ThanksJackhttp://www.dolphin-star.net/TCA/Paintshop/ybanner_tca_FM.jpgIntel P4 3.06Ghz 533FSB HT| 2GB Corsair 333Mhz PC2700 DDR | Asus P4P800 Deluxe | 2 x 120GB Maxtor ATA-133| Sapphire ATI 9800pro 128MB | Creative Audigy 2

Andy,Not that I have found however there are interesting sites that might help:http://flightaware.com/ you have to register but it is free and you can track by airport, flight or aircraft type.http://flightaware.com/resources/airport/KMIA an example of airport info http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KMIA example of included 'Pilot Weather' - this will give you a clue re winds. Even those airports not well covered generally have weather details (at the bottom right of the page).Also there are extensive 'live' ATC feeds available here:http://www.liveatc.net/index.phpHope this helps....Jackhttp://www.dolphin-star.net/TCA/Paintshop/ybanner_tca_FM.jpgIntel P4 3.06Ghz 533FSB HT| 2GB Corsair 333Mhz PC2700 DDR | Asus P4P800 Deluxe | 2 x 120GB Maxtor ATA-133| Sapphire ATI 9800pro 128MB | Creative Audigy 2

Guys,Just for the record CS offer the following advice from their support service:Question ID: 338The very FIRST time I tried to install the C-130 and used the "Oreder Number" I was told that I exceeded the legal number of attempts. That was my FIRST attempt. What can I do now? Q: The very FIRST time I tried to install the C-130 and used the "Oreder Number" I was told that I exceeded the legal number of attempts. That was my FIRST attempt. What can I do now?A: First of all, please make sure you are entering correct order number according to Question ID 170: http://www.captainsim.com/cgi-bin/kb.pl?qid=170 If the Order Number is 100% correct, then most likely it's our activation server overload (too many people are trying to connect at the same time). 1. Please try again in one hour (the system blocks the Order Number for one hour) 2. If there's no luck during 24 hrs after the purchase, please report the issue to C130@captainsim.com We are sorry for the temporary inconvenience. From: Legendary C-130 / Download/Installation (QID 338) ------Well it's still doing it but the key bit of info is 'most likely it's our activation server overload (too many people are trying to connect at the same time)'. To be fair CS wouldn't be the first to suffer from release overload.... but it is dissappointing.
