  1. Hi,No, I don't know that gauge. But the FS9 Spirit of S. Luis has something like that: The periscope.A time ago I tried to modify that gauge to get a different view angle but did not succeed.An other option might be to use and/or modify an additional view window.regards,Herbert
  2. Just to let you know: MS indeed offers replacement DVDs. For 24 €. Plus shipping costs. Maybe also plus VAT (I didn't ask). That's ridiculous...Is anyone out there willing to send me a copy of the DVDs - no, just a joke, that might be illegal...I'd strongly recommend to all of you: Make a backup of your DVDs, a hard disk image will be better than a DVD-R.Herbert
  3. Thanks a lot!I'll try that, too. Yes obviously I've got a bad DVD. I know this problems with CD-Rs. In the last years I've "burned" more than a hundred of music CDs. Most of them which are older than 3 or 4 years also aren't readable anymore. But I never thought that this could happen to original CDs or DVDs. If this is not a single event, the discussion concerning the making of legal copies of software (or audio/video) CDs / DVDs might need to come up again.Again, thanks for your help,Herbert
  4. Hi,not sure if this is the right forum, but maybe anyone else here had this problem too:After not having installed FS-X for more than a year, I just wanted to reinstall it on a new machine. But - what a surprise - the PC wasn't even able to read the DVD. When I had a closer look at it, I saw something like air bubbles between the several layers DVDs are made of. This makes the DVD obviously unreadable.Just to answer all upcoming questions:No the DVD is neither dirty nor scratched. No I did not expose it to high temperatures or sunlight - just stored in a drawer.What can I do?I tried to use the MS support websites, but there they ask for the Produkt-ID. I thought they meant the Product key and entered that, but it was invalid (even though I own an original, legal copy of FS-X). There also is a link telling me how to find the Product-ID: Start the game and have a look at the INFO... Well, how can I start the game if I'm not able to install it at all?Now I just sent a mail to a general MS customer supporet adress. Wonder if and when I'll get an answer...Did anyone else encounter this kind of problems with the DVDs and if so, how did you solve it? Did you get replacement DVDs? Whom at MS did you contact?Thanks,Herbert(from Germany)
  5. Hi Ed,Unfortunately I don't know that bird. But we are talking about electric power, aren't we? And you are sure that you've the right reality settings in use?How do default aircrafts behave? Which FS version? I think we'll need some more information to find a solution...Regards,Herbert
  6. Have a look at the aircraft.cfgMaybe there you'll findelectric_always_available = 1If so, change it toelectric_always_available = 0That should help...Herbert
  7. I see no need to use an additional variable (L:UHF-FRAC, enum) to animate the bitmap.A code like this is enough. <Element> <Position X="60" Y="116"/> <Image Name="Radio_COM_knob.bmp" PointsTo="East"> <Axis X="15" Y="15"/> </Image> <Rotate> <Value>(A:COM ACTIVE FREQUENCY:1, Megahertz) 10 *</Value> <Nonlinearity> <Item Value="0" Degrees="0"/> <Item Value="2" Degrees="360"/> </Nonlinearity> </Rotate> </Element>... <Mouse> </Area> <Area Left="20" Top="76" Width="80" Height="40"> <Area Right="40"> <Cursor Type="DownArrow"/> <Click Event="COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC" Repeat="Yes"/> </Area> <Area Left="40"> <Cursor Type="UpArrow"/> <Click Event="COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC" Repeat="Yes"/> </Area> <Tooltip ID="TOOLTIPTEXT_COMM1_FREQ"/> </Area> </Mouse>Herbert
  8. Hi Roman,No, it worked with all aircrafts. Never the less, thanks your answer.
  9. What is fairly easy at all? One solution would be to create a flight with your desired aircraft and airport and to save this flight. So the next time you start the simulation, you can select this flight. I'm not sure if the selected radio frequencies are stored in the flight file (name.flt, name = your selected name for this flight). If not, open this file with notepad or similar and look for the [Avionics.0] section. There you can edit the frequencies to whatever you want them to be. These flight files are stores in your default home path in the folder Flight Simulator files (or how ever it is named in your localized FS version).Hope this helps,Herbert
  10. Hello everybody,Here is one thing that drives me mad: Please tell me I'm wrong...I always thought - even more, I' almost convinced that it is enough to either have the main battery switch or one of the generators switches set to "on" to get electrical power on the systems (with electric_always_available = 0).But now - regardless which aircraft I use - turning off the main battery switch disengages all electrical systems, also when all generators are working.Is this normal?, Does my memory really fool me? Or is there any general setting which I might have changed?Any help more than welcome!!Herbert
  11. Hello Bill,EXCEL will do the same. Create an X-Y diagram, add a trend (or however this is called in english version), use polynomic (3rd power) and tick to show the equation in the diagram. I've got y = -0,0019x3 + 0,432x2 - 22x + 2092Herbert
  12. So it seems to be a mistake in the model.I'd suggest to contact Phil from Alphasim once again. Explain the observation you made and hopefully he will offer an update. Regards,Herbert
  13. Yes, support from Alphasim was better in former times...Doesn't it work in the 2D or the VC panel? In 2D (pop up window) it's a deafult MS gauge, so if it does work there, the mistake probably isn't gauge realated.
  14. I had a look at your code and at first sight everything seems to be ok. So the mistake seems not to be so obvious. Maybe something in the math is wrong, maybe one of the several attributes of the text-element, who knows... I'd suggest to use a working text element (from any other gauge) and to replace the used variable of that gauge by your (L:FMC-IRU-POS-LON-LAST,degrees) only. No math, no custimized text attributes, no nothing else. If then you still get nothing,the mistake must be in the first part of your code. But if you get something, try to change - step by step - the default text-element to what you want it to look like. Then the math, and somewhen it should work.Hope this helps,Herbert
