Thanks YoYo. Actually in that forum someone suggested how to solve the problem and seems to be working, at least for me. Just turn off the "'Enable Advanced Mouse Controls" option in P3D and everything is back to normality.

Hello Keven, I have this kind of problem with all planes in P3Dv5 even when disabling Scroll Zoom. Do you have any tip about it? Many thanks.

Thank you for the corrections in v.4.3b but to me those lights reflections are still weird and unnatural.

Many thanks for your help. Kind regards. Alberto

Hello, I noticed an unusual behavior of XPDR in the 35. When selecting zero as first digit of a code, my transponder remove it. I'm wondering if it's a problem only regarding me or if this is another issue in P3Dv5. Thanks.

Thank you for your support.

Hello, I wish to report also some excessive reflection of NAV lights and Beacon light in P3Dv5.

Dark screens in FSX. Really unhappy!

QCaptain, sorry for confusing. My post was an answer to peppy about the MilViz Kingair 350. Thanks for your help though.

peppy, I purchased the FSX version. I don't have P3D installed on my PC. Still enjoying FSX! ^_^

Maybe Carenado could save their 550 by providing a different (optional) cockpit using old style avionics instead of current. They could replace that useless MFD with a fake radar instead and get rid of the FMS. If they also could fix the autopilot, it could become a flyable, more realistic, "old generation" Citation. Bad idea?

peppy, I don't want to contraddict you but how do you explain, then, the great success of PMDG, A2A and Majestic planes? I am not so sure that most of simmers are basic untrained hobbyst. Furthermore Carenado people were aware of the "basic" level of the 550 and they shouldn't have priced it at a similar level of the Dash 8Q or the BAe 4100. Two days ago I purchased the Milviz Kingair 350 and even if still in a Beta stage is far better than the Citation and the price is very close.

I do agree with both of you. Piston planes are quite good (even if nothing compared to A2A) but when they started with sophisticated turboprops and jets they totally failed. A true pity because I am (still) looking for a good quality private jet and now I am not anymore looking hopefully for the Hawker. :(

Hello, since you asked for it I will tell you my (partial) experience with the 550. I am sorry to say but Carenado really disappointed me wit this addon. Considering the price I expect that PMDG will put their coming 747 v2 on the market at a price around $500... I will report here just a short list of the numerous bugs that I could notice during my first two flights: 1) FMS PWR/DIM button just turns ON and OFF the display. Does not switch the system nor reset it. 2) Pressing NAV button on the FMS turns the autopilot ON!!!!! :huh: 3) POS INIT page does not allow to insert the initial position ident. 4) I have not been able to insert airways into the FMS flight plan. 5) MSG, DATA, TUNE, NAV and VNAV buttons doesn't work. 6) MFD doesn't display the FMS route. 7) TCAS traffics are totally unrealistic and... weird. 8) On groud Wind Vector is displayed on HSI and MFD!!! 9) ILS: G/S captured before LOC. ILS totally unstable. 10) First Radio Altimeter call "5 Hundreds" instead of "25 Hundreds". 11) DTO (Direct TO) function on the FMS is not dispalyed on the HSI and the Autopilot doesn't follow it. I stopped taking notes of all the bugs. I will put this addon in the Hangar until Carenado will fix it (if they ever will). Pity, 45 dollars wasted. To me the plane today is at a freeware quality, apart for the VC graphics, I would strongly suggest you to wait with your purchase until it will be fixed. Hope will help

Wow! That was fast!!! :LMAO:Alberto

Kenny,RTO - automatically applies maximum brake pressure when Thrust Levers are retarded to Idle at or above 90 knots.

Nope... just Googled Juneau RNP approach charts. :(

+1 better the copilot voice as V1, Rotate call-out.

Diego, don't get too serious... it's a game after all. Bert was just joking.BTW if you want to get serious I will have to report you to FAA since you declared a visual approach.As per FARs:5-4-22. Visual Approacha. A visual approach is conducted on an IFR flight plan and authorizes a pilot to proceed visually and clear of clouds to the airport. The pilot must have either the airport or the preceding identified aircraft in sight.It doesn't seem you had the airport in sight at all! :Thinking:Cheers.Alberto

+1 and Merry Christmas to all of you.Alberto

Paul I downloaded that software to give a try few months ago. Was not bad. I did just a try but since i use TrackIR i didn't play that much and cannot remember exactly how was working.Unfortunately I am abroad now and cannot test if it does work on ground or not. I should be home by saturday and will answer you. Cheers

Google for this free software: Banking Camera ver 1.0This is the description:Automatically banks the camera view as you bank the aircraft - enables you to 'look where you're going' without having to pan around using the HatSwitch. As you roll wings level, the camera banks level again. It's almost like a head-tracking device, but without all the hardware strapped to your head!
