Thanks Capt.!ScottKJMS

Hi all!At the risk of sounding like a complete dolt (wouldn't be the first time, I guess ), where are these new P&W sounds at? I hadn't seen mention of it before.Regards,ScottKJMS

Hi all. I've had the same problems flying the CRJ and have finally given up. No matter what configurations/techniques I use I cannot get it to slow down. I'm not by any means a jet pilot in real life (just a lowly CFII), but it seems to me the plane is way overpowered.Yes, I have problems stuttering with VC too. However the visual model of the a/c is fantastic!Regards,ScottKJMS

Leon,That is EXCELLENT news! Looking forward to being able to use that panel.Thanks for the time and effort it took to make it and get it uploaded. I think I can safely say that all of us simmer's out here really appreciate it!Regards,ScottKJMS

Mark,Thanks for the info. I kinda had a sneaking feeling that might be the case when I couldn't find it.Regards,ScottKJMS

Greetings! I just attempted to download (via the front page of new file postings) the alternate CRJ 200 flight dynamics file by Mark Ostheimer. When clicking on the link I got a message to the effect of no such file. I also did a search using the author's last name, and the file in question did not turn up either.Any suggestions will be appreciated.Regards,ScottKJMS

Hi all! It's the Sporty's model for me. I've had it about 3 years and love it. While I don't tell my students that "...I won't teach you if you don't have one", I do encourage them to consider getting one. Usually, after they've used mine to plan one of their cross countries, they will be on the phone to Sporty's ordering one.Regards,ScottKJMS

Allow me to cast my vote for the upgrading of the 747-200 panel! Can a person vote more than once? ;-)Regards,ScottKJMS

Hi all! Great looking airplane! I was just wondering if anyone knows of any other CV580 panels out there? I did a search here on avsim and didn't come up with any.Regards,ScottKJMS

Gavin,Here's the link to a site of a fellow who did some work to make Paul's MD80 panel compatible with FS2K2:http://digilander.libero.it/aliditalia/panelseu.htmlIt's in Italian, but you can easily figure out how to download it. If I remember correctly the documentation that comes with the panel is in English. You will need the original version of Paul's MD80 panel along with any upgrades/patches (I think there were one or two) in order for it to work.I've used the panel with the Project Freeware DC9's and it works very well. Another panel/aircraft that I would recommend was just released a couple of months ago by an SAS DC9 Captain. It comes with a great airplane, and I use this panel along with the included aircraft's cfg/air file with the Project Freeware DC9's also (you might have to copy the PF's contact points to the aircraft cfg). Here's the link:http://www.bahnhof.se/~classic/Hope this helps!Regards,ScottCFII/KJMS

Hi all!I don't fly the PIC767 often enough to contribute to a FAQ, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who are considering putting one together...great idea!!!Regards,ScottCFII/KJMS

Paul,Just wanted to thank you for the release of the BAC 1-11 panel!The work that people like you do makes this hobby so enjoyable for the rest of us. I, for one, really appreciate your efforts!Regards,ScottKJMS

I couldn't agree more with the author who started this thread. This morning I was in the file library scrolling through the new files (they hadn't been posted on the the Avsim main page yet), and it was nothing but one splash screen after another. Unfortunately this is becoming more and more common, and to me, at least, very irritating when I'm looking for "real" flight simming files.Just my .02Regards,ScottKJMS

Hi Scott,Thanks for the info. I'll just wait for Matt to upload the file.I appreciate all your time in tracking this down!Warm regards,Scott KJMS

Hi Scott,No luck I'm afraid. Just tried downloading that file with the same results...also noticed when I get to the file page, there's a box with a red "X" through it where that small picture of the panel would be. Please note that I get to the page with the file, but it's when I click on the download button that I get the "page cannot be displayed" message. Earlier this morning I downloaded his A340 modified panel from the library without any problems...Regards,Scott KJMS

Greetings! This morning I've been attempting to down load the file a330pnl_modified.zip by Matthew Campbell. I've tried from the front page listings of new files and from within the library itself. Both times I get the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" message.Just wondering if the link is broken or something...RegardsScott KJMS

Phil,Several years ago I ferried an Ercoupe from Norman J. Perry airport (just outside of OKC) to Jamestown, ND. I took some pictures including a panel shot. If you'd like me to send them to you, throw an email my way:nodak@buffalocity.netRegards,Scott KJMS

Just as an addendum, when you read a METAR (Aerodeome surface observation report), TAF(Terminal Aerodrome Forecast), or FD(Winds Aloft Forecast), the winds given are in reference to true north, not magnetic north. Runways and courses flown by aircraft are referenced to magnetic north. You have to apply the magnetic variation for whatever area you're in to convert from true to magnetic.As far as I know, the only times that winds are given in reference to magnetic north is in an ATIS or ASOS broadcast.Regards,Scott (KJMS)

Thanks Tom!I tried using the extended search also. Don't know what I was doing wrong since I've used it with success in the past.Regards,Scott (KJMS)

Greetings! This morning I have unsuccessfully tried to find and download the file fsc_atr42_300v20.zip by Pacosancas. I know the file is (maybe, was) in the library since a couple of days ago I found it, but didn't have time to download. Thought I'd give it a try this morning, but under every search I've tried I get the "0" matches found message...Just wondering,Regards,Scott (KJMS)

Thanks to all who have responded! I really appreciate it. However, what might complicate things just a tad, is that I'm informed a couple of family members will be "pouring the guy out the door". That's one of my major concerns in not wanting to screw this up...Geez, cropdusting was SO much easier!Regards,Scott (KJMS)

Thanks for the advice! I too, believe the camera port will work the best. I'm going to give it a test run tomorrow or the next day when we'er shooting compliance photos using some floor dry.Regards,Scott (KJMS)

Greetings all!I'm looking for a little advice. Yesterday morning I walked into the FBO where I flight instruct and the owner said he had a different type of flight booked for me this coming Saturday afternoon. A local farmer passed away (turns out I'm related to him) awhile back and requested that his ashes be spread over his farm. The family called the FBO and the owner booked the flight.I've never done this type of thing before, but I've heard the horror stories of the ashes getting whipped/sucked back into the plane, dropping the urn, etc...The plane I'll be using is our C182. The left pilot's door window opens fully, and there's a hole cut in the floor to mount a camera for when we do the FSA compliance flights. I was thinking of visiting a local undertaker and look at an urn to get an idea of the size. I'm thinking of taping a wide mouth funnel to the top of the urn and dispensing the ashes through the camera hole. If anyone on this forum has any experience with this kind of thing or any suggestions, I'll be glad to hear them!Regards,Scott (KJMS)

Greetings! I didn't see this on the first couple of pages in the forum, so I thought I'd post the info. Espen has redone his wonderful FS2K panel to be compatible with FS2K2 Pro! Here's the link to his www site. The file is available here and at the....errrr....you know, that *other* place with the perpetually busy nodes.Here's the link:http://home.c2i.net/fokker50/news.htm (click on downloads on the left for listing of sites the fils has been uploaded to)and the file name is ef50v30.zipEnjoy all! Downloading as I write this...Regards,Scott (KJMS)
