  1. To Nr 1: Center Panel, directly above Fire Loop B Test, turn the buttons.
  2. Boeing has a Short Field Performance package for the NG. GOL ordered it for their 738 in 2006. That allows airlines to fly in and out of airports with runways less than 5,000 ft long. Take Santos Dumont for instance. Runway length 4331ft and 4134ft. Not bad. And, as far as I know, the iFly NG simulates this option as well.
  3. The blue roofs are some of those really funny things for non-Chinese people when they arrive in China for the first time. I've never understood why that is. But blue roofs are really quite common in this country, particularly in the countryside.
  4. The included G1000 is based on the default GPS. Not exactly what you are looking for when you are interested in the G1000. It's just the same old stuff with a new graphic touch. But at least you could purchase Mindstar's G1000 separately. Apparently implementation works pretty well. If you are looking for a "real" G1000 you will be disappointed with the "out-of-the-box" DA42. I haven't tried Mindstar's solution, though.On my system framerates were significantly worse than PMDG's 747, MD11, even worse than iFly's 737. That was the reason why I gave up flying the DA42, although it's amazing when it comes to the flight dynamics.
  5. Looks promising but the trial doesn't work on my system. Coming in from KLAS in PMDG's MD11 I didn't have any glideslope on 28L, LOC only, the message appears "trial version started" and subsequently FS crashes. So I'll stick to the old FlyTampa version.
  6. Seems to be pretty accurate. I did a flight from EGLL to VHHH, 5536 nm with 20 nm to VMMC as alternate. 280 passengers, 17500 kgs of cargo, average tailwind of 12 kts with an initial cruising altitude of FL330 giving me a predicted route fuel of 83616 kgs.With a rather short taxi time (I never burned up 1500 kgs of taxi fuel) I had a fuel consumption of a little over 85 tons with a cost index of 80 and step climbs to FL350 and FL370. Since I used Brookmans Park 6G as my SID in EGLL which tells me to stay at 6000 ft until BPK (which your program can't possibly know) I would say you are spot on.We'll see what happens on my way back... :)
  7. Ah... Ok. Thanks for the info!
  8. Hi everybody, just wondering - when I was browsing through my aircraft.cfg I found the entriesmodel=GE and model =GEb, both inside the passenger version's folder.What is the difference between those two? Model=PW vs Model=GE is pretty obvious but I wasn't aware that there's a difference within the GE versions.
  9. A couple of days ago I had the same issue (text and button alignment) with a new repaint I downloaded from avsim.com. But just with this repaint. I found a solution for me. Somehow a file for the VC was faulty or perhaps even missing. So I took the original VC files, copied them to the texture folder of the new repaint and guess what - it worked.
  10. Fantastic! Works like a charm.Thanks very much again!
  11. Hi Harry, thanks for the hint - I'll try it out tomorrow morning!
  12. Hi everybody, I've just accomplished a successful go around. Well... Almost successful when it comes to the FMS.Entering the hold after (automatically) flying the go around was a breeze. Setting up the new ILS approach from the holding point as well. But the FMS lost all information about approach speeds. I noticed that pretty late, when I left the speed in FMS managed mode and discovered it wouldn't decrease speed at all.I had to estimate the speeds and dial them in manually. Of course the ATS obeyed but the speeds were just a guess. FMS.60.15 doesn't cover that one...Did I miss anything?
  13. EditVoicePack - http://www.editvoicepack.com/On the website you will find sufficient information on what it is and how to use it.
  14. Oh come on... That's just 4000 miles. That happens... :(
