Hi JasonW, in your xml I noticed that in the scenery category, the line showing your path ends 'scenery\world'. I think it should be 'scenery\world\scenery Mike

Hi Jevon, Many thanks for sending me the mod. Everything appears to work well. Using the NAV button, the aircraft followed the flightplan from the GTN750, but using VNAV it also followed the vertical profile which I had added to an identical flightplan in the FMS. I added several new waypoints en route, with varying altitudes, and the aircraft successfully followed them. One thing I noticed with both the original and the modified version is that a very steep descent is possible. At one point, with approx 80% fuel load, I was able to descend at 6,500 ft/min at idle without gaining speed, as if there was a large speedbrake in use. I don't know how this compares to the real aircraft. Thanks again, I'm really enjoying flying with this mod. Mike

Hi Ray I think Task Manager doesn't show the overclocked speed. I use a utility called CPU ID (one of many available), which shows information about the CPU, including the actual overclocked speed. My new PC confused me initially, as the speed shown in this utility jumped up and down. This was due to a resource saving function - when required - ie under load, the CPU remains at its maximum overclocked speed. There are other utilities which will show you CPU and GPU temperatures as well as speed - you can watch these as you fly low over detailed scenery! Best regards Mike

Hi, Problem solved. I have used a fix mentioned in another forum post, removing wxstationlist.bin, as described on the Chaseplane Support Page: https://fsfxpackages.com/en/support/products/ChasePlane/ Thanks, Mike

Hi, I bought Chaseplane recently, really like the program, but have a problem switching views from cockpit to outside view. I am using P3d v4.3. I can switch the view to outside using the P3d menu - views, and have created presets for cockpit and outside views. I followed some of the suggestions in this forum, deleting the cameras.cfg file, and allowing Chaseplane to rebuild it. I also deleted the Prepar3d.cfg file, ran the default F-22 flight at Eglin, and all worked perfectly. I could switch aircraft, go to other US airports and switch to outside views and back with no problems. As I normally fly from the UK, I tried starting a flight at a UK airport, and the original problem returned. I also noticed that, once the problem had come back, returning to Eglin using the 'Go to airport' menu item did not recover the ability to switch from Cockpit to Outside again, until P3d was restarted. I have tried disabling UK scenery addons, and antivirus, but with no success. I have Activesky installed but am not currently using it. I've also found that during the loading process, Chaseplane Bridge occasionally reports that it has closed, but after restarting the sim it has loaded OK. I have sent a report file as you have requested from others posting in the forum. Thanks Mike

Thanks, fascinating! Mike

Hi Jim That worked! Thanks to yourself and DickB for the useful advice, and thanks for replying to my query so soon. Mike

Thanks Jim, I'll try this as soon as my daughter gets off Skype! Mike

Hello For the last 3 days, when attempting to access the Avsim Forums, I've been receiving the message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forum/121-ms-fsx-forum/ on this server I heve been registered on the forums for several years, and haven't seen this error message before, but receive it even when logged in on the Avsim site. In order to send this message I've logged into the forum using a different wifi network so I presume the problem is IP related. Best regards Mike

Hi I don't have Pro ATC, but there is an Overfly button on the Airbus FMGC, bottom right. If you click this, then the LSK adjacent to the next waypoint, you can force the aircraft to overfly the waypoint, rather than moving straight on to the next one. This may help. Mike

Thanks Bert, your mods have transformed the avionics of this aircraft, I'm now enjoying LPV approaches! Thanks for sharing the results of your work, it's much appreciated! Mike

Have been flying this for the last hour or so. It's very good, far better than I expected. I really like the lag when the engines spool up or down. Must read the manual now. I can tell already that I'll be spending a lot of time in this! Mike

One of the great things about FSX is the way everyone enjoys a different aspect of it, which the opinions in these posts demonstrate. Personally I agree that accurate FDE and systems is a prerequisite for enjoyment, and, as Vololiberista says, a long flight gprovides the opportunity to work out the 'what ifs' for flight planning, and to be prepared if failures should occur. This is described well in Captain Sullenberger's book 'Highest Duty' (A320 in the Hudson) which is a great read.New ideas should always be welcome, good on you Mr 340. Now if there's a virtual laptop inside the virtual cabin, I could run FSX on it ....er....Mike

I'd be interested in a BA version too, but this might interest you!http://www.flyertalk...ooks-wrong.html Mike

Hi Spencer You may find this interesting - a track calculator by Michael Vone: http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=32396 It enables you to calculate an optimum course based on prevailing winds, and answered a lot of questions I had about transatlantic routes. Mike
