Hi, I'm running Pilot2ATC 2.7.0.0_x64_Beta7N on windows 10 with MSFS 2020 (still in trial mode). I wanted to use the GMFZ airport which is not in the database, so I ran MakeRunways and went in the Taxi Mnt option of P2A, selected "MakeRunways Folder for P3D or MSFS" and typed the path of the folder where MakeRunways files were created. I made sure "Import New Airports from MakeRwys" is ticked and in the Config option, in the Flt Pln tab the "Only Use Airports in AIRAC Data" is unticked. Then I ran "Import Tawxiways From All Airports" and "Import Gates From All Airport". As described, it took some time and the Taxi Mnt window closes at the end. I restarted Pilot2ATC and GMFZ was not there. Here is the Runways.txt entry for GMFZ: Airport GMFZ :N34:13:59.9886 W003:56:59.9989 1887.00ft Country Name="" State Name="" City Name="" Airport Name="" in file:

Hi, I've done several flights with the 414 with some ice appearing on the windshield. I tried the windshield electric deice switch, both on HI and LOW positions, but with no effect : both the left (with the deicing device) and the and right (with no deicing device) part of the windshield have the same amount of ice. Did you get the same issue or did you manage to deice the windshield ? Thanks for the help. Franck

Thanks guys, it worked ! Franck

Hi, I recently brought the C414 and I had the 2.8.1 version. Soon after the purchase I received a mail telling me the 2.9.0 was available. I downloaded it, uninstalled the 2.8.1 as instructed and installed the 2.9.0. Now I have a problem with the tablet. I saw in the changelog that the tablet now hides/animates in the side pocket. Good, but it is stowed by default when I get into the plane and when I hover over the pocket I see indeed the cursor change. The problem is whatever I try (click, drag...) the tablet won't get out. Too bad, because without the tablet it is difficult to remove all the stuff I need to remove to start the plane. By the way, I can't open the cockpit windows neither. I can push the button to unlock, but after this I can't drag the handle. Other animations, like the sun visor seem to work. Fortunately, I still had the 2.8.1 files, so I'm back to this version and all the above works. Can you help ? Regards Franck Zecchin-Faure

If you need a beta tester, don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi, This time I used the laminar Cessna 172 and opened the GTN in a 2D window, both embedded and floating. In both cases, it doesn't show up in VR. In both cases, the window is visible in the x-plane window on the monitor mirorring the VR headset view (see screenshots), but not in the VR headset itself. Note : I'm in x-plane 11.20b1 version now as there was an update yesterday.

Hi Jean Luc, In fact I'm not using the GTN 750 as a window, I'm using it in the 3D cockpit of a plane where it was integrated (namely the JustFlight Piper Arrow III). In the first beta VR compatible versions of x-plane, you could not use the mouse and had to interact with the 3D cockpit with a VR controller. One of the first things I checked was that it was possible to interact this way with the touch interface of the RXP GTN 750 (I'm such a fan of the product) and it was. Then other beta versions came, adding at some point the possibility to interact with the 3d cockpit with a mouse (you now have a huge pointer moving in the 3D VR space with the mouse) and I'm not able to interact with it with the touch buttons of the GTN 750, only with the "hardware" buttons (home, knob...). I can't do it with the controller neither. I'm not sure now when the function disappeared : was it befween the 11.20 VR5 and 11.20 VR6 or was it before ? The funny thing is that if I remove the VR headset, I see on the monitor the "mirror" image of what I see in the headset (just in 2D) and if I move the headset so I can see the GTN 750 on the monitor and then move the mouse cursor on the 2D image on the monitor to click on one of the touch buttons, it works. As I said in the first message, the GNS 530 has not such problems (I'm using it integrated in a 3D cockpit too, in the vFlyteAir Piper twin comanche) because there is no touch screen. You interact only with it with hardware buttons and this works.

Ok, I was ready to swear it worked on a previous beta version, but I probably mixed up things. Regards Franck

Hi, I'm using the GTN 750 (version 2.4.14.0) with X-Plane 11.20 VR6 and I have a problem : I cannot click on the buttons of the touch screen in VR (with Oculus Rift) with the mouse cursor (or with the Oculus Touch controllers). If I remove the VR headset and move it to see the GTN in the field of view (on the 2D monitor) and the use the 2D mouse cursor to click on one of the buttons, it works. Also, if I use the same instance of X-Plane without the VR gear, it works too. I also own the GNS 530 and have no problem with this one in VR : as it is controlled through buttons, and not touch screen, it works. I was able to use the GTN 750 before in VR, but I can't remember the changes I made between then and now. Any ideas ? Franck

Ah, mais c'est possible : comme disent les gens d'apple "il y a une app pour ça !" Ça s'appelle Sound Stream et M. Flight One sera ravi de te soulager de 15$ pour te la donner. http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=soundstream Franck

Bonjour, J'ai acheté IF 10 il y a quelques jours, intrigué par les messages enthousiastes dans ce forum et je ne l'ai pas regretté : cela a transformé ma façon d'utiliser FSX et je vole plus qu'avant, explorant les scènes d'Orbx PNW que j'avais achetées mais pas vraiment parcourues. Il fonctionne de plus très bien avec Opus que je préfère quand même à la météo intégrée. J'ai juste un petit problème, alors excusez l'anglais mais (bon, je n'ai pas pu résister, comme on dit "excuse the french" en anglais avant de dire une grossièreté ;-) ) ... Steve, I keep getting penalties with the Realair Duke for flaps overspeed, but I lower the flaps according to the speeds in the manual. IF10 is probably not getting the flaps operation max allowed speeds in the manual :-), where is it taking it from ? Thanks for the help Franck

Bon alors on reste sous FSX Franck

Le film de la BBC sur le Stardust est très intéressant, mais le mystère du dernier message de l'avion reste entier à la fin ... une explication vraisemblable trouvée bien après l'expédition : http://www.ntskeptics.org/2010/2010december/december2010.pdf Franck

Il ne reste qu'à mettre en place un système de forfait mensuel de points qui deviennent invalides au bout d'un certain temps s'ils ne sont pas consommés et nous aurons un mécanisme aussi juste pour le client que celui de nos téléphones portables. ^_^Franck

J'ai écumé pas mal de forums sur la simulation de vol et, souvent, je devais parcourir des dizaines et des dizaines de messages de polémiques stériles avant de trouver une info utile ou un échange intéressant. Comme le disaient certains membres de ces forums eux-mêmes, le rapport signal/bruit était bas.Et puis je suis tombé sur ce forum. La proportion de messages intéressants sur la simulation était très élevée, et même les messages totalement hors-sujet étaient soit drôles, soit intéressants. Au résultat, c'est le seul forum francophone sur la simulation que je fréquente encore et c'est le seul de tous les forums que je fréquente dont je lis absolument tous les messages, sans essayer de deviner à travers le titre s'ils seront du signal ou du bruit.Ce n'est pas un résultat facile à obtenir pour un modérateur/administrateur de forum. Comment fabrique-t-on un forum comme ça ? Pour avoir obtenu cela, je pense que Jean-Paul et David ont bien le droit, au minimum, au bénéfice du doute (et je leur accorderai pour ma part bien plus).Il est très facile de lancer une polémique stérile : une position bien manichéenne sur un sujet d'actualité, on attend l'inévitable réponse indignée, on contre les arguments avancés, les réponses s'enchaînent, et hop ! Quelques dizaines de messages plus tard … quel résultat a-t-on obtenu exactement ? Qu'est-ce que cet échange a apporté aux lecteurs du forum ? La " charte " du forum permet de parler d'à peu près tout et dans les termes que l'on souhaite, mais avant de poster un message, ne faut-il pas se poser la question : " les membres du forum sont-ils vraiment venus là pour lire ce genre de message ou vais-je juste les gonfler ?"Je ne pense pas que la liberté d'expression de Claude soit menacée : il peut gratuitement et très facilement créer son blog sur le web et dire tout ce qui lui passe par la tête, personne ne le censurera. Personne ne le lira probablement non plus, car telle est la loi de l'Internet : la liberté d'expression est totale et, techniquement, des millions de personnes peuvent vous lire, mais au final chacun n'a qu'un temps de loisirs limité et pour être lu il faut avant tout intéresser quelqu'un.Si je devais créer mon propre forum, la charte dirait : " ceci n'est qu'un forum sur la simulation de vol, la seule chose qui est interdite est de se prendre au sérieux ". Mais bon … avec une telle charte il faudrait que je censure trop de messages alors je vais m'abstenir :-)Franck
