RXP-GTN750: Problem: - Bendix King KAP140: when clicking NAV pushbutton, the NAV mode does not engage. Additional info: - XP12 version 12.1.2-R2 AirfoilLabs C172NG ANALOG version 1.0.4 - XP12 -> Reality XP plugin menu -> Settings: Settings panel shows all "Locked device settings". Unable to access any Panel Instruments or Device Options. - With the default GNS530, no problem, I am able to Arm NAV and Engage NAV. - Re-installed Reality XP_GTN750, but the problem remains.

Hello, need some help. My questions: 1) "License"="<xxxxxxx>" Do we need to enter here the License of Prepar3D v5 or Prepar3D v6? 2) Is the syntax of the following files correct? Because I wonder if I need to include the "" and or the < >. E.g. "SetupPath"="<G:\Prepar3D v6>" or "SetupPath"=<G:\Prepar3D v6> or "SetupPath"="G:\Prepar3D v6" Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5] "License"="<xxxxxxx>" "SetupPath"="<G:\Prepar3D v6>" Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5] "Installed"=dword:00000001 "AppPath"="<G:\Prepar3D v6>" Thanks in advance for support, Frank

Legacy integrated "City-editor" allows 3D object scenery creation based on real world data from "Openstreet.map". Depending on the computer power, 8 till 15 objects per second are generated according real-world dimensions and located at the right spot in the Fly!Legacy scenery. The proces contains 3 steps. - Collecting data from the http://www.openstreetmap/org - Converting the format towards a Fly!Legacy compatible format. - Creating the 3D objects using the Fly!Legacy integrated "City-editor" Complete instruction manual: http://fly.simvol.org/ (in the download section) View Video

In the vector map, click and hold an existing waypoint and move the mouse to relocate the waypoint: the flightplan and the GPS are updated accordingly. View Video

Hi David, Many thanks for this post. In the rememberance of Richard, at fly.simvol we keep optimizing Fly! Legacy. Cheers, Frank http://fly.simvol.org

Hi Ken,Regarding item 3) the brakes.The brakes could remain on after pressing "Shift + B". Pressing "Shift and B" again releases them.Cheers,Frank

Hello,The development team could reproduce the problem, identified the errors, and has a patch for it. I've tested the patch and it solves the engine cut-off, also the Cessna reacts again much better on the Yoke and rudder controls.Patch will soon (don't know the exact time) be ready for download.Best Regards,Frank D

Hello,I use CH yoke and pedal, and it works well on FlyLegacy with windows 7One of the possible solutions might be: - I suppose the axes are assigned via the menu options -> setup axis menu.- In the menu options -> test controls: move the slider "neutral slightly to activate the axises.- The mixture is reversed: I need to pull back the mixture on the CH yoke to have it open in the simulator.Hope this helps,Frank D

I presume that Fly!2 version 2.50.240 is required (=latest patch of the Fly2 series).Best Regards,Frank

So many thanks Tom, for this post. The dedication and enthousiasm of Richard will forever stay in our minds.The future Fly version "Fly! Legacy" in the works (thanks to the team ROTW and Chris Wallace), will contribute even more to the rememberance of Richard.Best Regards,Frank

Seasons Greetings,and many smooth flights.FrankEBKT

Hi David,Many thanks for the InfoMetar update.Nice to hear that Fly2 is working well on Your PC.All the Best,Frank

Hi Fonchy,Since I switched from win 2000 to win xp, I had the same problem.Adobe photoshop cannot load TGA files of large size (> 1 GB).It can save the large files as TGA.Adobe photoshop accepts TIF files larger than 1 GB.Then You can save them as TGA.If You could convert the large TGA file into TIF, then adobe photoshop can load them.I have no idea if convertor from TGA to TIF exist.All the best with the nice Madrid scenery.Best Regards,Frank

Hi Bart and everyoneI'm still FLYing.Take care,Frank

All the best for the year 2007, and many congratulations Harald with Your JAA-Flightexamer license.(Should be benefical in a later stage for beta testing Fly! Legacy :))Frank

Merry Christmas to all,Zalig kerstfeest aan iedereen,Have nice flight,Frank

So many thanks Laurent for informing.Nice to hear about Fly!Legacy accepting already DLL's.All the best with the Fly!Legacy development.Cheers,Frank
