No matter what I try, I cannot taxi the SH360 at 15-20kts without riding the brakes continually ... at lowest settings it wnats to streak away at 30kts or more ! Any suggestions please? Is there a joystick calibration needed?/ Ron

I have just purchased the Reality XP GTN750 Touch to install into my newly acquired Carenado Sabb 340 . Using the Addons menu install feature, I have been able to install a popup window which is lsited as Unit 1 (managed). Problem: nothing works, except the mouse pointers on the knobs... completely black screen. I would appreciate any clues as to how to get it working. Ron

does the reality xp gtn750 work with this aircraft??

No matter how I configure the fuel flow, the B787 will only empty one tank at a time ... this creates a very insignificant imbalance in the aircraft (which I do not see reflected in any way) .. any solution?? Ron

Has anyone tried to integrate the CIVA INS gauges into the JustFlight L1011? Having the ADEU card reader as part of the deal makes programming so much easier. Ron

If you check the library, you will find that updated fsx navdata is available for some areas -- enterprising simmers have created addon bgl's to achieve this.For example, for Australia, check for "ants_aussie_waypoints.zip"Ron McKeirnan

Many thanks --- those regerenced threads solved the problem easily and excellently!!CheersRon

I love the new J41, but am rather new to using virtual cockpit. I find panning awkward, and much prefer to use the set views.Instead of having to cycle through all the cockpit views with the A key, is there a way to assign each of the fixed views to a different key and switch instantly to that view? Would make things so much easier when performing tasks that need you to move quickly. I have searched around but can't find anyhting on this.Many thanksRon McKeirnan

Thanks Andre: that worked perfectly, and you made my day ..err night!! Looks so much more realistic now.Ron McKeirnan

This is a tiny issue with the MD-11 which is such a great addon.At night, no cabin lighting that I can find -- makes it look a bit stealthbomber-ish and unreal. Am I missing something?Ron McKeirnan

Many thanks for the replies.I have started the detective work and found a couple of the "offending" .wav files ; with Audacity I have lowered their volume to an acceptable level, and life is tolerable again in the cockpit!Actually, one add-on designer in his FAQ explains the sound and sells it as strength of his product, saying that in the real aircraft inverter noise was almost overwhelming! But at least real life pilots had headphones to hear ATC etc that mostly blocked out the noise, whereas in the add-on it cannot be reduced or switched off. A matter of tatse maybe.Thanks again for help.Ron

A couple of my add-ons have a very loud and very annoying inverter or aircon packs sound that is constant and can drown out most other cockpit sounds... also this sound does not go off when you hit the Q button for sound off -- it is always there as long as the battery is on!How can one soften the sound or eliminate it??any ideas welcomeRon

Somehow my default fsx B737-800 has become corrupted ...is there any way to re-install just that aircraft from the CD, without having to do a total re-install, with Sp1, Sp2, add ons etc all over again?? the .cab files on the CD are quite unintelligible...any help greatly appreciated.Ron McKeirnan

Many thanks for the suggestions.I found that illustrated startup guide on the Tupolev forum thanks. It shows lot more gauges and switches than the modified FSX model has -- so I will now just take my time to work through identifying which ones are there, and the order in which they should be operated. Hopefully I'll be up to taxi and take-off within 24 hours!!If I crack the code, I'll prepare an FSX version and post it in hope others may discover the flightsim riches coming out of Russia etc... Just now the Project Team don't seem too keen on developing FSX models as so many of their gauges are of the old .gau type.Ron

I am interested in adding the Tu-154 to my hangar ... the Project Tupolev series seems excellent in appearance, and much more complete (and complex) in systems than most currently available fsx planes. Unfortunately the models are only for FS2004 and use a number of .gau gauges that won't work in FSX.I have found a "hybrid" version for fsx that uses simplified panels with only fsx compatible gauges. BUT the documentation is only in Russian, and all panel labels are Russian :( No joy in trying to start the engines with the usual ctrl-E...Has anyone succeeded in flying the Tupolev? Is there any helpul english documentation for the PT_Tu-154_VITAMIN model??Many thanksRon McKeirnan
