Great, Thanksyes I alway's fly out of KHVN and KBDL since I live in Hamden.Thanks for the flight plans, those will keep me busy :)-Paul

Check out this link if your into systems, this is the best dash 8 for FS.http://www.majesticsoftware.com/Check out the Products link.Paul C

WOW, Thanks guys, I will be trying these out.Koen, cant wait to try that UPS route!Paul C.

Hello,I noticed that after RC is installed it creates a modules folder on the C drive which contains FSUIPC and ADVDisplay.Is it safe to delete this folder since I already have these files in my FS9 modules folder which contain newer versions of the above programs?

Well, I did a re-install again, and tried RC with the Fanda Dash-8 Pro and it worked GREAT! just like the old times. I will go back and try it on my Level-D.-Paul C.

>fs9 goes black? are you using stock ms planes? if not, try a>ms plane/panel>>why did you reinstall rc, something else happen on your>machine? maybe something else is going wrongJust did a complete reinstall of FS9 a few weeks ago just to clean things up. The only aircraft I have currently is Level-D, PMDG and the Fanda Dash-8-300 Pro. I decided to put RC back on my system, so I took out the Level-D with RC activated and this is were my problems started. I will try it with another plane. I am also going to re-install RC again just incase it was a bad install, because in the past i never had a problem with RC.-Paul C

Just re-installed RC 3.0 and updated the software to 3.1 now on every flight when RC say's "Contact Arrival" FS9 screen goes black and I have to re-boot. I have dowloaded the most current FSUIPC and ADVDISPAY.Any thoughts?? Should I re-install.Paul C.

George,I found it: http://www.virtualwideroe.com/modules.phpn...download&cid=14Thanks.

George,Where can we find the Dream Wings merge that is available for the Payware version? I would really like to give it a try.Thanks Paul

Jim,I had simular problems and I was told to go into my Dhc8f300.iniand set EPIC=0, I not saying this will solve your prtblems, but give it a try, you never know.-Pau C

George,I agree, many hours of enjoyment for the hard-core simmer.I purchased the Professional version($$) and dont regret it one bit.(one night out for dinner and drinks $$ == 100's of hours in the dash)My Dash-8, Flight 1 ATR and Level-D have a special place in my heart.-Paul C

Thanks for all those GREAT Flight plans, that will keep me busy flying for a while in my Dash 8-300I also waiting for the canal to be completed, it's great to take the family on a weekend bike riding down the canal.-Paul Cartier

That's funny I am from Hamden also (westwoods section) I like flying out of Tweed and Bradley.Hey, a Delta Connection plan would be great for my new Dash.Thanks neighbor!Paul Cartier

Hi guys,Anyone have any Dash 8-300 flight plans flying out/to the followingairportsKHVNKPHLKBDLEnjoying the new Fanda Dash, and need a place to go!Thanks Everyone!-Paul

I agree with Rune, this is a very good NG Simulator, the night lighting in this aircraft is one of the best so far.I dont know about any other Ariane users, but sometimes I forget that I am at my pc flying the sim, it really makes you feel that you are in a NG cockpit! :) and the 2Di view is great.The one thing I like the most is my FPS are great with this aircraft.-Paul

Just a little more information for you Ariane lovers,My problems are now solved! by following the short tutorial in the previous post! Here's some fuel information i also recevied via email, may it could help others here.-------------------------------------------------------------------The fuel management system on the new Ariane Boeing 737-700 Ng correctly simulates fuel management:- Some points to remember. As Rune rightly says, leave some fuel in your center tank since the APU drains fuel only from the center tank. When the center tank switches are set to OFF the lights do not come on UNLESS there is LOW PRESSURE in the tanks. The lights are not 'off' switches that turn the 'fuel off'. They lights are part of a LOW PRESSURE warning system - which we hope users will see we correctly featured. When you start your APU, you drain fuel from the center tank. Even if you turn the pumps to OFF the APU only drains fuel from the center tank so you must leave enough fuel for the APU to use during landing procedures and following. Here's a more detailed explanation of how our fuel system works:- The fuel system supplies fuel to the engines and the APU. Fuel is contained in three tanks located within the wings and wing center section. Both engines are normally pressure fed from the center tank until the center tank quantity decreases to around near zero. The engines are normally then pressure-fed from their respective main tanks. Each fuel tank uses two AC-powered fuel pumps. The center tank pumps produce higher pressure than the main tank pumps. This ensures that the center tank fuel is used before the main tank fuel, even though all fuel pumps are operating. Note: Fuel pump LOW PRESSURE lights may flicker when the tank quantity is low and the airplane is in a climb, descent, or on the ground with a nose-down attitude.When the main tank fuel pump pressure is low, each engine can draw fuel from its corresponding main tank. Fuel pressure can be provided from a main tank with operating fuel pumps to both engines by opening the fuel crossfeed valve located on the fwd overhead panel. Continued crossfeed use will result in a progressive fuel imbalance hich is why many pilots use 'devices' such as placing a checklist over the center display to remind them (on some upper aft overhead sections you might see a device that resembles an egg timer (we had one on the 900) - in its basic form, that is what it is - an alarm to alert a potential low pressure situation during fuel transfer from one tank to the other. The dissolved air in the fuel tank will eventually deplete after reaching cruise altitude. The depletion time is dependent upon airplane altitude, fuel temperature, and type of fuel - but no worries of that in FS. Once the dissolved air is depleted, the engine may be capable of suction feed operation at cruise power.The engine fuel manifolds are interconnected by use of the crossfeed valve. The valve is DC motor operated from the battery bus. The valve provides the means of directing fuel to both engines from any tank and this must be monitored during flight.On the real thing, Spar fuel shutoff valves are located at the engine

After take-off I selected gear-up, pitched to about 15 deg and selected the autopilot, I thought by turning on the AP it would maintain the current pitch of 15deg but this was not the case, I let go of my joystick and it started pitching way past 20deg.the only thing that worked for me was to select AP and the VS 1800+ then she was in a steady climb.-Paul

Dillon,Thanks for the help,"Try leaving the trim and VNAV alone on takeoff and see what happens. Set your climb speed for 245kts and vertical speed to 2000FPM"do you mean after take-off @1000 feet switch AP on, then select VS and dial in 2000FMP? I tried this and she's rock solid when I select VS but I thought LVL change was the correct mode after take-off and that's when I get the pitch problems, VS mode works great.Thank you.Paul

Hello,(Please no bashing)I am having a problem with take-off, after take-off i pitch to about 15 deg and then i trim her out to match the FD bars, then i select NI folowed by LVL and CMD (autopilot engaged) then select 250 in the speed window, when i reach my 250 IAS the plane pitched up and down trying to maintain 250 IAS while climbing( goes from 247 - 250) this also happens in VNAV mode. Once in cruise everything is OK. but this pitching problem is driving me crazy!I sent Ariane an email, but they did'nt get back to me yet.Soo, Are any of you having the same problem? could you offer any tips to help me out?ThanksPaul

Bert,Followed the readme file line by line with no problems!the Yoke looks great!Thanks for your efforts.-Paul

Bert,Thanks, it looks great! I will give it a try after work.The yoke is the finishing touch to this great aircraft. :-cool -Paul Cartier

Vin,Send that email off! this will be great with the Reality XP gauges,it's a nice marriage! :-jumpy -Paul CartierKBDL/KHVN

Would be nice if we could have the option to use the Jet Line 4 gauges from Reality XP (just a thought)Anyway, anything from you guys is going to be GREAT!!Paul CartierKBDL/KHVN

Ross,Thanks for the numbers!BTW, you no when a program is good when it gets pinned to thetop of the forum!! :)-Paul

Thanks Ross,I use your program before every flight! It's GREAT!!Just one question, what is the normal Holding Fuel, Taxi Fuel in Lbs normally set at for the 737-700? and I never know what to put for the Minimum Landing FuelThanks for all your hard work! :)-Paul Cartier (KBDL)
