Good afternoon. What is the correct command to have the PNF set the altitude to 14500? JW

Bump. Any ideas on this? Should have an option to leave the seatbelt signs on during the climb on short flights or if weather dictates. Jeffrey Whitaker

Gents, Carenado indicated there was a cold& Dark option. The knowledge base suggests that this option is available after selecting the aircraft from the FSX menu (for all products SR22 and later). I do not seems to have this option. Has anybody else experienced this? JW

Bert, Thanks for your reply! JW

Gents, Has anybody else tried to install the RXP GNS530 in the C1900D? It seems both the CAR530.exe and RXP530.exe are the same file with different names which serve only to reinstall the Carenado GNS530. JW

Jan-Paul, Thanks for the quick reply. I'll grab a cycle of NavDataPro tonight and give it a whirl. I'll be a happy camper if the NGX can replicate the RNAV (RNP) Rwy 34L into KRNO. Thanks! JW

John, My question is directed at Jan Paul. The purpose of my question is to clarify my understanding of one of his previous posts. I think language might be getting in the way of my understanding. If the NGX is able to replicate RF legs using AF in NavDataPro i'd sure like to know about it. Would you? JW

Jan-Paul, Can the NGX currently fly RNP aproaches which require RF legs? JW

@ Jan-Paul, it is wholly true. RF is not AF. Treating an RF leg as an AF leg is not RF. Therefore, the NGX cannot fly an RNAV approach which requires RF legs. I agree, the NavdataPro solution is a step in the right direction- but it is not RF. JW

Ian, Could you be hearing the FSUIPC warning tone regarding memory issues? Next time you hear the warning do a quick recall to ensure you don't have any persistent caution lights- take note of any warnings. Also, scrutinize your overhead for amber lights and take note. JW

Gents, Thanks for your replies. Sorry for the late response- we have been without power after storms on Friday evening. @Spin: No, the HDG SEL simply kicks off after selecting LVL CHG. Thou according to rsvit this is a known bug. Thanks again. JW

Gents, The NGX canot fly any RNP approach which requires RF legs. RF is not modeled in the NGX. JW

Gents, Today I flew a number of published missed approach procedures. Below you can see my procedure. At 400ft AGL I typically select a roll mode, e.g., HDG SEL or LNAV. I have noticed that my HDG SEL kicks off once I select LVL CHG and bug flaps up maneuvering speed at acceleration hieght. I have also tried delaying my selection of LVL CHG until after flap retraction with the same results. I would love to hear back from you folks if you have any idea why my HDG SEL might be kicking off. Clearly there is something awry with my technique. My Procedure TOGA, Flaps (Selected, 15, Set) Landing Gear (UP at Positive Rate) Roll Mode (400ft Selected, HDG SEL or LNAV) LVL CHG (At Acceleration Height Select Maneuvering Sped) Flaps (As Needed) After Takeoff Checks Feedback is greatly appreciated. JW

Gents, I would like to echo what Steve said (post#2) regarding the price for quality FSX software. Considering the amount of time devoted to the development of these complex simulation, I have to agree- these products are worth much more than we pay for them. JW

Gents, Figure this is the best place for difficult FSX questions. TED is a somewhat new VOR near ANC in Alaska. Wheras departures once used the ANC VOR, they now use TED. I'm wondering if there is a way to add the TED VOR to FSX. The data is available through Navigraph and subsequently the FMC, unfortunately you are unable to tune the raw data- because it is not part of FSX navdata. Any thoughts? JW
