I do remember that from the 747. 777's is different, its showing GPS L/R and FMC L/R on POS REF 3/3. The way I understand it is the ADIRU consists of 6 ring laser gyros and a bunch of other equipment that give it position data among other things, maybe thats why it just displays an average position on the POS REF page...who knows haha Tyler Mason

Thanks guys, that clears it right up. Simon, I can only see the triple mix. Is there a way to view each of the three individual IRUs position? Tyler Mason

Someone posted a question about this a few months ago and got no answer. Going to try again...I am currently going IAH-LHR and have been monitoring my inertial position closely, and by the time I get near Boston, the inertial position has over 4NM of drift.That seems rather high (I could be wrong). I've also seen screenshots of people doing similar long haul flights without that amount of drift. The only thing I can think of is I guess as long as ANP remains less than RNP, I am in the clear and shouldn't worry about it? Thanks, Tyler Mason

I'm having some issues with the display FPS with the MD-11. The default values are set at 15 for 2D and 10 for VC, when I go in to change them i click "ok" and the gauges are still a little choppy so I go back to that menu the values are back to the default 15 and 10 values so it appears that its not saving my changes. Anyone have any insight on how to fix this? I'm getting a solid 30 fps with scenery maxed out and all so its definitely capable of displaying a faster refresh rate. Tyler Mason

Thank you very much! I don't know ANYTHING about programming lol but i will give it a shot, thanks again.Tyler

I was wondering if anyone could tell me a way to add a sound tied into a specific switch in the plane. I recorded the sound when bringing the external power online (that loud clunk) and I want to assign it to the Ext. power switch in the Feelthere ERJ, and some other planes. Is there a way to do this? they dont have a specific sound for that so I cant just replace it with an old one. ill post a link to the video at the bottom at about 13 seconds into it he brings the gpu online and you can hear that sound. thanks Tyler

Hello, I'm new to x-plane. I am looking around trying to find complex aircraft add on's with extensive system modeling etc. Preferably airliners or bizjets, but i guess anything complex will do! thanks a lotTyler

Yes you are correct, Southwest has completely disabled the autothrottle system on their aircraft. They have also disabled VNAV too. They used to not be able to use autobrakes either however they changed this around the time of the MDW runway overrun incident. I dont know if this was the exact reason why they now allow them to use it. Tyler

hey thanks a lot chris i used the sound forge and i found a tiny little part at the end of the sound file that was just blank with no sound so i trimmed that off and now it works great thanks again,Tyler

Hi, I recently attempted to replace the sound of the recirc fan in the 737 with one of my own i recorded off a real 737 and I got it in there fine but when i turn on FS, it plays nicely but at the end of the clip that I recorede it makes a very quick pause so that iot can replay the sound clip again, which isnt that bad but after about 20 mins it can get quite annoying. the origional recirc fan didnt do this...how can I make it not "skip" like that and just play one continuos loop? thank youTyler

Hi Ryan, I haven't had the problem at all until i updated all my navdata the other day, and now its screwed up at every airport no matter which sid/star files i have or which AIRAC cycle I have. I managed to fix the L** 767 installing the 0609 demo airac but it still did not correct PMDGs for some reason. I am at the point now of just re-installing the 737 and 747 and seeing if that fixes it. Tyler

I just re-installed the Old 0609 cycle and its STILL messed up.Tyler

oooo ok, now i have a better understanding. thanks Tyler

Yes the -600/700 is compatible with FS2002, however if you want to upgrade to the -800/-900 anytime, that upgrade is strictly for FS2004. Tyler

Hey Guys thanks a lot for all of your replies, Jan-Paul, I read that post and I put that file where it said to but it still is doing the same thing, When im physically on the runway like in position and hold, the nav display will show me exactly where I am, and when I takeoff then it begins drifting way off to the left. I'm just going to download the old navdata until Richard gets back. Thanks a lot for your help. Any other suggestions are welcome too ;)Tyler
