Apologies is this has been dealt with before; I had a search but could not find anything... Despite saving the default flight with all batteries off and magnetos off my default cessna 175 loads with avionics on and sound of gyros spinning up. This seems to affect other payware aircraft - which load with all switches off but the default gyro sound playing and the GNS unit powered up. It started some time ago, but I can't think of any changes I made which could explain it. Saw a thread elsewhere suggesting deleting the location of the default flight file in fsx.cfg, which tried, but no change. Can anyone point me to a thread or solution? I have FSUIPC but Im not controlling any switcjes through the module. Thanks.

Flight handing on Carenado C152:Not sure about this, Dave, I have 40+hrs in C152's (at EGHD) and find this model has the following bugs:1. The touch of right hand rudder needed on T/O continues into flight - constant drift to left, even with no weather, calibrated controls etc.2. Trim guage in VC all wrong - T/O needs much higher nose up than real aircraft. If you set the trim to 'Take off' in the VC you'll need masses of back pressure to keep the nose up in the climb.2. Climb at F/T should give 65kts at around 500 -700 f/m with pilot only and 60% fuel, depending on weather etc. This one shoots up!3. Cruise should be at c2200 rpm at 90 kts - the model need almost full throttle for 90kts.4. Stability mentioned elsewhere in the forums - some tweaks possible, but it's still twitchy.5. Stall characteristics: clean stall doesn't happen - its possible to fly at 40kts pitch up and never fall out of the sky! Stall in approach configuration similarly too stable.6. Descent - like a stone - at 1700rmp and two stages of flap you should get 700 fpm and 70kts. This should come back to 65kts at full flaps and idle over the threshold. the model needs almost full throttle with 2 stages of flaps to keep in on the decent profile.I agree with other posts - very pretty VC (although glitches as posted elsewhere), sound set close to the original, but the handling lets it down. Pity...back to the Flying Club C152 - almost spot on this one...

OK just landed at LAX great flight no problems at all.Cracked it by leaving FMC set up until after FO before start flow, and entering ZFW before MACTOW.You are right - printed flows need to be revised, including Markus Wienmann's.Now to try FO T/O.Still waiting for bird strike...Andy

Thanks for clarifying this for me - I'll have another go and let the FO do his thing before completing FMC setup.Thanks for another great job with FSCREW 767!Andy

Waited a day or two to see if others have this problem - guess I'm the only one so far so it must be me!Following the tutorial to the letter, and everything goes great - until I need to eneter MACTOW, rounded down as suggested into FMC - just won't accept it.Finally found it will acceppt it AFTER ZFW entered but doing it in this order throws FO before start flow out.I have SP3 installed, and have run 767 config.Tried uninstalling and re-installing fscrew.This has happend five times in a row - same problem each time - help guys I want to get off the ground!

Thanks for the sugestions, but:-I can't see cargo doors in the pull down menu.Do you mean via:Alt -> PMDG -> General -> keyboard commands ??I mapped the stairs using:options -> controls -> assignments then mapping the concord nose settings. Works fine. But no cargo doors here!-hmmmAndy:

I just had a similar problem with the PMDG sub menu 'keyboard assigments' disappear after trying to reassign a keyboard command. on't come back either. I was not running FS passenger at the time. Can't get it back at the moment.Andy

I've seen several postings about the possible use of shift+E, 2 to open rear and cargo doors. Like many of you I can't get this to work. Imagine my delight to find that the FSCrew FO opened them for me. Unfortuanetly this was in flight. Seems to be linked to one of the check lists.I have found a suggested fix (guage on main panel) in the forum, which hopefully the PMDG team will take on board.Meanwhile has any one found a way of controlling the rear and cargo doors?Andy
