Wow, I can't believe that no one has a solution to this.

Hi all, Hope everyone had a good Christmas. :smile: I purchased several FS9 Carenado aircraft during their holiday sale. Every single one of them requires the landing lights to be on in order to have instrument lighting. I know this is a pet peeve for many of you, myself included. Is there any way to fix them so the instrument lights are on without having the landing lights on also? I seem to remember having to alter/add the alpha layer. I've tried, with no success. :( I have PSPro and dxt2bmp so I could do them myself but, I don't know what to do, or what to look for. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Marv

Double check to make sure the file is in the effects folder. It works for me at higher thrust settings, and it's not a heavy black smoke effect as you would expect from say, a B707 or DC-8. But it is there. :(

Thank YouI managed to find his website here; http://janswebsites.110mb.com/flightsim/index.html I assume this is what you were referring to? Now, I need to see if I can sort out which are the one that are having the problems.Thanks Again

Thanks for the info Scott. When I do see it happen, it's not IFR conditions. Doesn't sound like there's anything I can do about it. I just never noticed it this often before. I recently added a bunch of WOAI flight plans and models, so I thought maybe the .air file was off. I didn't notice it at all when I had Project AI installed.

What would cause AI Aircraft to land 1-3 miles BEFORE the runway? Is it the .air file, flight plan, or the airport itself? Or maybe something else I'm not considering? It's a bit disconcerting to begin pulling onto the runway and have a B737 come screaming out of the weeds and onto the runway in front of me. :(

Found the base package, but I can't find the 1.1 update either. :(

I don't know why, but I just "discovered" the freeware Project Fokker-100/70. Probably because I was more into the GA aircraft up until recently. I understand that it's only available at AvSim but, it's not. It's one of the many that have been lost in the hack. Is there anywhere else that it can be obtained from?Thanks,Marv

I think in the conversion, they forgot to add the (VIEWS) section in the panel cfg. I started with the settings that Graeme posted above and it's quite convincing now. (thank you) I also agree that it is "twitchy". I've been tweeking the (flight_tuning) section and came up with these 3 settings. Still need to test some more, but here's where I started;elevator_effectiveness = 0.6 //0.8pitch_stability = 1.2 //1.0elevator_trim_effectiveness = 1.4 //1.5

Hi Damian,Thanks for the quick response. I was flying in Alaska, started near PAYA, and flew to PAOR. Come to think of it, that's where I've been doing most of my flying this past week or so. I changed locations, moved to Portland, Oregon and all is well. Seems to be working fine at this location. Could it be the Alaska reporting stations are not reporting correctly?Thanks Again,Marv

I've been using AS4.5 Build193, for at least 1.5yrs now. Never had a problem until just recently, about a week ago. When I hit refresh after loading FS I'm now getting an error that says; "Main Thread Process Error- Retrying at next interval"I was just wondering if ver4.5 is no longer able to read the info from the server, or if the server has changed?Thanks,Marv

Hi Moose,I hated that outside looping sound on the 182 too. I fixed it by making a copy of the xrpm4.wav and renaming it to xrpm3.wav. So in effect there are 2 wav files that are the same, #3 & #4. These are the external sound files located in the sound folder. Maybe not the perfect fix, but it gets rid of the looping sound that we all hated. :) Oh, and don't forget to keep a copy of the original #3 file somewhere.To the original question, if I were only getting 1 Carenado plane, I'd get the 206.

Is there another 6x series set of drivers that does work with the preview window and still be able to set AA to 8? The 81.98 set seems to work fine in the sim, it's just the black preview window that's not working properly.

Thanks Rick,That was it. I had AA set to 8x. Put it back to 4x and all is well with the preview window.I find it hard to believe I have to much horsepower for FS. Nah ;-)You also don't realize how much stuff you've accumulated until you have to reinstall everything!! :-eek Thanks again,
