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

Alright, thanks a lot Ryan for your help. ACtually, would that be an error un the SIDs/STARs since that whole route is made up of ajust a SID and a STAR or is it the AIRAC data? Is there somewhere where i could download a slightly older AIRAC to get me by till when Richard gets back? Tyler

I have just updated my Navdata the other day to the latest AIRAC for all my addons and when I went to play FS I loaded up the 737 to fly LAS-SNA and the RBELL intersection on the BOACH2 departure was shown off to the right of the runway centerline of 25R when its supposed to be lined up right with the runway extended centerline. Throughout the whole flight using LNAV the plane would have a XTRK error of about 1.5 nm to the right of the LNAV path then it appeared to be crabbing its way along the whole route looking like it wa trying for the path , but never actually got on it and stayed about the same dist away from it the whole flight allthe way down to landing where the runway symbol was way off to the rigth however visually and on the LOC i was perfectly lined up w/ the runway. It is doing this with the 747 too. anyone else have this problem or konw how to fix this? thank you (see pic)http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/172951.jpgTyler

Hi Floyd,Thanks a lot for that information about the KSNA procedures I cant wait to tr that departure tonight. For question #3, the pilot gave me the dispatch release for that flight and it says on there that it was a bleeds on departure and actually on the return flight from that same trip I was on a -300 out of MDW and I also got the dispatch rel. for that fight too and that one was a bleeds off takeoff and I filmed both of the takeoffs and the takeoffs on the classic series plane did still sound pretty loud even though only 1 pack is operating during bleeds off. Any other i deas on what might be the reason for it being quieter on the -700? For question 4, on these dispatch releases under the ladning column there is a section that says wether it will be a bleeds on or off landing, I imagine they would do bleeds off landings possibly form more GA thrust or even for a more powerful braking effect through the reversers with the bleeds sut off. Thanks again for your reply,Tyler

1) What are the specific procedures for the 737-700 out of KSNA for noise abatement 19R? what altitude you set climb thrust, after a full power bleeds off t/o out of there would you select CLB2 or CLB1, my guess is 2 to save wear on the engines but for KSNA im not sure.2) Is there some kind of software that simulates Accuload or any kind of dispacth software for the 737? I heard Mats was working on one. Does anyone know the status of it?3) In real life when taking off in a 737-700 vs the 737-300 or -500 when the pilots give it full power why does it sound like the packs are turning off, the loud humming noise of the packs or gasper fan slowly turns off and pretty much it seems like all you hear is the engines. But in the -300 and -500 you hear it ALL you can still hear the hummig of the packs and gasper system and stuff plus the engines. does anyone know what is going on in the -700 that makes it get quiter w/ takeoff power vs the -300/-500?4) For bleeds off landings how far out from arrival do you configure the pneumatics panel for it? 5) I was looking through one of my magazines and I saw a picture of a SWA 737-300 flight deck and it had 2 FMCs, all the ones I have been on only have one on the FO's side, I know the NGs have 2 though, can someone verify that SWA has 2 FMC's on any of their classic 737s?Thanks for any repliesTyler

OIC ok well i tried that utility to fix that error message and it didn't work so i guess its the CD's or something. Thanks for your replies JohnTyler

Yes, I installed it from the CDs and it still wont work... the problem is with the game though and not with my PC, correct? Thanks for the quick reply John.ThanksTyler

I just tried to install FS 2002 for the sake of better FPS and the installation went well but then an error came up about a 16 bit MS-DOS application. (see attachment) I have had FS2002 on this computer before with no problem same with 2004 but now 2002 just doesn't work anymore. Anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks,Tyler

Hi ShaheedanThe thing is though I get blury textures with all of my default planes and scenery and all of my sliders are at minimum with the traffic slider at 100% and at KSFO for example i still get only about 4 FPS in spot plane and 6 in the 2d panel all I have is the stuff that came with my computer exept I upgraded my RAM about a year ago....with that said....do you think that the ATI 9200 will help? plus my spending limit is around 100-110 bucks. What about any of the geforce graphics cards like the 5500?PS I need one with PCI and I havent found any of the radeons with PCI cmpatiblilty all I can find are the geforce 5500 and 5200 that have PCI capabiltiy.ThanksTyler

OOOOOOOOOo man I can't wait! lolTyler

just one more thing....when you move the ailerons a certain number of degrees do the spoilers rise a little too...just curios because I saw on the video during landing the aileron was moving a lot but not a lot of spoiler action. thats it im done with questions. lolTyler
