  1. Hi Gregg, thanks for the LINDA file. Will install this evening. The mod I refered to in my previous post is the FDE mod (I called it FADEC Mod) I got from you in August. It was a aircraft.cfg and the air file. As mentioned already the ILS tracking is worse than with the original files. All other changes like idle power, climb speed, flaps liftz, fuel burn... are ok and more to the numbers. Just the ITT seems higher than I observed in several YouTube vids (real Mustang!). I'm quite happy just the lazy ILS tracking is bothering me. I'm using P3D V3, FSUIPC 4.968 and LINDA 2.9.5.542. all on WIN 100. Should have said that earlier, sorry! Peter
  2. Hi Gregg, Yes, exactly. The VS wheel is also used in FLC mode to change the speed. That is how it works in real with the GMC710 mode controller. It works when I just use the mouse in the 2D window. Just another question: The FADEC mod works well regarding TQ indication and flaps reaction. But it seems the capture of LOC and GS is very "lazy". The bank angle is max 15° usually 10° and the GS captures to late, so it is always >1 dot to high. It becomes better along the approach, but never follows on spot. Speed to intercept is 160 to 180 kts and angle is 30°. This was better before, at least I think so. Did the mod dampen bank and pitch? Thanks for all your help! Peter
  3. That is the code I also have. It is your Mustang Module V1.2. So I have everything. Just checked in the sim. If turning VS when in FLC mode the FD is commanding up/down, but the blue airspeed reference bug is not moving to the dialed speed, nor the airspeed reference above the speed indicator is changing. There is also another problem: When intercepting a ILS in HDG mode and then activating APR mode, the APR light (next to the button) goes on and the HDG light goes off. Both lights should be on until LOC capture. The plane is behaving right, but just the indications are not refreshed, like the speed bug and the lights I will investigate a little bit more. Probably Flight 1 has some own internal gauge programming and is not using standard Lvars and the like. Thanks, Peter
  4. Hi Gregg, you described how it should work. I could also see it in the actions.lua file. The normal VS operation is ok, the VS is indicated at the top of the ALT tape in the PFD. Selecting FLC (VNAV LED is out, FLC LED in on), the present speed is indicated in the Airspeed tape. When I rotate the VS wheel, the speed indicated in the top of the Airspeed tape should change. But there is no change indicated. It looks like the VS wheel input is not "changed over" to the FLC function. I have mapped the VS wheel to inc and dec, not fastinc and fastdec. All dials in the AFCS are single encoders, so no possibility for normal inc/dec and fastin/fastdec. But this is another subject/problem with ALT and HDG. I have to check if the plane is at least doing a speed change, even if not indicated in the PFD. I'v still no idea. Thanks Peter
  5. Hi, recently I added a self made AFCS unit to my cockpit. Nearly all is working great with the Mustang module. Only the FLC function is not working ok. In this mode you change the desired speed with the VS wheel. Unfortunately this is not possible with the LINDA Mustang module functions using the HW AFCS. Mouse clicking work as usual. The same applies to the SPD function (switch to Mach). Is there any chance to change the Mustang module? Thanks, Peter
  6. Hi all, sorry for jumping in.... It seems you use a kind of homecockpit. I'm in the building process of a biz jet cockpit based on G1000 like. My question is: How will you get the screens of the PFD and MFD on a monitor without using the VC? There is no 2D cockpit to derive the 3 screens as I do it with the Mustang. I'd love to have also the Phenom in my home cockpit. Thanks a lot, Peter
  7. Hi Rockliffe, thanks. No reason for embarrassment. I could tell you stories about my mishaps... Hi Scottflieger, I also lost all the saving of the assignements made to the aircraft whwn starting the sim next time. The reason was probably the "old" FSUIPC. In the meantime I installed the very last FSUIPC but had no time to install again Linda 2.8.8 to check it. Will wait for your new 2.8.9. Thanks for all your effort! Peter
  8. Hi Rockcliffe, what was your problem and solution exactly? I also had the saving problem. Now went back to 2.8.4 and it is working. Thanks, Peter
  9. Hi Scotflieger, yes, it would be great to get support for the MFD Keypad (GCU475). Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Peter
  10. Hello, just bought the G1000 to integrate it in the F1 Cessna Mustang. After installation (was without any problem) and G1000.ini configuration i strted with the panel.cfg modifikation. A great help where the docs from Mindstar webssite. Now my question: In "Installing the G1000 into other MSFS & P3D Aircraft" the use of the 5th parameter is described. What is the difference in the first word of the 0 (=2D cockpit) and 1 (= popup panel), eg: PFD0 or PFD1|Cessna.Mustang. I use no VC, only 2D. So when exactly is the 1 (pop up window) to be used? Is anybody here with a working Mindstar G1000 integration in F1 Mustang? I would like to get some help, because there are many windows where the G1000 is involved. With my first attempt I had a crash of P3D V3.3 after opening a window. I will sort this out for sure, but a little help is always welcome. P3D V3.3.4 WIN 7 64bit F1 Mustang Thanks, Peter
  11. Very interesting indeed. My Mustang cockpit HW will come in short time. Mindstar will be used. Now the way to P3D is open - if F1 solves the compatibility with Mindstar G1000. Now in a waiting state. Thanks for looking into this. Peter
  12. Hi Andreas, no experience at the moment. My CustomSims will be the Cessna Mustang (F1) implementation with the option to switch the interface for the A2A C172. Both will be used with the Mindstar G1000. I know Mindstar will work with the HW and with Mindstar/Mustang combination. I was just looking for somebody who is running such a combination. My plan is to build later also the cockpit shell. Most measurements I got from Blink in UK (One of the biggest Mustang operator). Together with a curved screen it will be marvelous. My priority is to get asap flying, because my B767 sim is disassemblied already and retired. So no flying (at the moment). What did you order from Lee? Peter
  13. Hello, I'm looking for your experience with the Mindstar G1000 SW in combination with the G1000 HW from CustomSims. I will use it in my cockpit for a C172 (A2A). A next step could be the F1 Mustang and G1000. My cockpit will be sort of generic for both planes (C172 and F1 Mustang). Does anybody see drawbacks? Thanks a lot for your help! Peter
  14. Hi Richard, you have PM. Would be nice if you could get in contact with me. Thanks, Peter
  15. Hi, and where did you find it? I am just courious, because the same prob here Thanks, Peter
  16. Al,thanks!according to NickN's list my DDR2-1066 memory with 5-5-5-15 is ok. I could not get lower latencyWhat is the more important spec the 1066 vs 800, or is the latency more important (5-5-5-15 vs 4-4-4-12).I could also get a DDR2-800 kit with 4-4-4-12.Also, how does FSB frequency and timings for memory correlate? This I did not understand yetThanksPeter
  17. Hello,another question before I order:The configurator of my shop gives me a warning for this memory:GeIL DIMM 4 GB DDR2-1066 Kit (2 pcs.)4096 MB, CL5 5-5-15, 2, PC2 8500The Mainboard is a: Asus P5Q PRO Intel
  18. and the mainboard can not be a P5Q.... it must be a P6..... for a I7 processor.Peter
  19. Hi Graham,for aditional views you should use WideView (Payware). WideFS is only to "extend" FSUIPC over network.As far as I know, the other PCs have to run FS too but the needed performance is not that high. I stopped my experiments some years ago, so no up to date experience.Another solution might be MaxiVista. This requires only "old" PCs with no special GX card. The hard of MaxiVista is a special driver where parts of the screen are distributed over the network to the before mentioned "old" PCs.Have a look at: MaxiVistaPeter
  20. Hi Jim,re 1) Room:My configurator did not complain with this combination of GTX260 and the Rebel9 Value case which is 486mm deep. So I hope no complications with GX card. But I had problems with the cooler. I wanted a Thermalright Ultra Extreme (neumanix recomended it), but the configurator did not accept - to high, also the Zalman 9700 you recommended . So I was looking for a not so tall cooler and found the Zalman CNPS8700 which is accepted by the configurator for this case. the 8700 is smaller 3300 cm
  21. Thanks Jim,I made up my mind and will go with XP pro 64. Later next year I will migrate to Win 7.I also opted now for a GTX260First I have to build the PC, then install and optimize XP and FS9/FSX according NickN's guide.Then OC - maybe.My system as it is planned now:E8500Zalman CNPS8700Asus P5Q Pro4GB G.Skill DDR-2 800 (4-4-4-12)POV GTX260 EXOWD 6400AAKS (OS), WD VRaptor 300GB (FS9/FSX)Silverstone ST75EF 600W PSUSharkoon Rebel9 Value Midi Tower (250mm Side Fan!)LG GH-22NS DVD BurnerLG DH-16NS DVD ROMTeac FloppyWin XP pro 64Any comments? Monday I will order.Peter
  22. Sorry for late reply, my DSL provider had some problems for 3 days. Can you imagine FS-PC is dead and no Intenet :( I took time to work on my throttle...Thanks to all for their input. I will adjust my buying list accordingly. Though some more questions:1) Is the 9800GT in balance with E8500 and 4 Gig, or should I invest in a GTX260 or higher?2) Do you have experience also with XP prof 64? Or should I shoot for Vista64 or even not 64bit, but 32bit OS?3) I found NickN's guide for XP/Windows setup and optimization in Simviation Forum. Is there an other guide for XP 64bit or Vista64?A question to GSalden: what is FS-GG?Thanks again for help. On Monday I will order the parts for the new rig.Peter
  23. Hello,in another thread I got answered my HDD questions - thanks.My old FS PC is dead and now a new one has to be build. I got a original new E8500 as a present -unfortunately not a i7, but for me it will do running mainly FS9 and step by step involving FSX.From reading a lot in this and the Simviation forum I tried to configure a machine which fits my budget. If some of you would give me some comments I would be glad.E8500 --> is here already! Do I need a better cooler for this?Asus P5E Deluxe4MB Kingston DDR2-1066EVGA 9800GT 1MB --> stock cooling is ok?1 x WD6400AAKS (OS), 1 x WD VelociRaptor 300GB (FS and later FSX additional, not partitioned)PSU: PC P&C 610Case: Sharkoon Rebel 9 ValueOS: XP64 --> or better Vista64?I am not that good in PC, but appreciate all the tuning hints I read here in the forum AVSIM, Simviation).I am also not sure if I should/can OC this config. Any advice/experience is appreciated.NickN and some other poster here are already heroes for me :( Thanks a lot!Peter
  24. Thanks flyhalf and Alan,I will take yor advice: a WD 640 AAKS for OS/apps/data and a WD VelociRaptor 300GB for FS9 + FSX.I will open another thread for CPU questions, because I got a brand new originally packed E8500 as a present...Peter
  25. Hello to all the experts!I was reading this forum now for several days. A lot of expertise and advice but finally I still have some questions. What I have:My current system is 5 years old and not worth to discuss - it will be replacedFS9 is installed with LVLD767 and some add-on sceneries. When FSX came to the market I bought it immediately, but never installed because of my crappy HW - high time to start with. OS is XP-Professional.What I aim for:A system for primarily FS9 use and step by step (slowly) transition to FSX. I am using 2 monitor (2D view) and a second laptop (WideFS) for com, ASv6 and my homecockpit SW (SIOC).I learned quite a lot from this forum about new systems but did not finaly make up my mind. Overclocking is not my favorite.My questions:- How many HDD should I install? 1000GB for OS and 1 HD for FS9/FSX with 2 partitions? or???- I tend to stay with XP as OS, don't like Vista and have no idea about Win7. Thanks in advance, more questions will arise later Peter
