Jorge Now there's a new one. How did you mimic a mixture function on the T-45? Thanks Warren Hi Jorge I learn something new every day. I used the keyboard (control shift F4) to confirm mixture full rich and off the jet engine went - strange but true. Thanks Warren

Fairly new to Prepare3d 2.5. Recently installed the Cattaneo T-45 and it seems to work well (windows 10, DX-11) - only problem is in starting where despite following the fairly simple procedures , the engine will spool but not ignite unless I use the "control + E" function. Wondering if I am screwing up or if anyone else has experienced this and found a work around. Thanks Warren (aspen31)

Hi BobNot sure if this will help but I use Saitek stick and throttle and I believe in one of the earlier iterations of the Tinmouse 737 I could only cause the flaps to work by clicking the mouse directly over the Flap Gauge itself (don't recall trying F6 or 7). I haven't flown this aircraft for a while but if I recall correctly the latest version allowed flap function to be accomplished through the relevant joystick button. Hope this helps - at least a bit.Warren

Thanks DavidI will write again.All the best!Warren

GustavoThank you very much. I'm sure I have missed something but it appears everything is set as you have described. I'll go through everything again and see what I can find.Thanks and all the best!Warren

Hi allI have recently started to use a freeware addon from Project Magenta which provides a variety of cockpit voice sounds, including TCAS and GPWS. Problem is only some of the voice sounds can be heard from the main cockpit view of my aircraft in this case the Tinmouse B737-200adv. Other sounds from the package can only be heard from the spot plane view and I haven't experimented to see where others might appear. My question is can this be changed so that all applicable sounds can be heard from the cockpit. I have not found a read me or specific Project Magenta forum to ask this question so here I am.Help as always greatly appreciated.Warren

Hi I always start with the default C172 and the alarm has both sounded and not sounded at the same airport (TJBQ). In addition when it does sound, which is most of the time (but not all) I am unable to silence it with either button, on the throttle quadrant or pressurization panel.ThanksWarren

Hi againI set the flaps carefully to align with the selected V speed / flap settings obtained from the airspeed indicator information. I just completed a flight where I carefully reviewed and set everything including takeoff trim, RTO, PDCS etc and the horn still sounded. Actually the airplane flies quite well with or without the horn so I assume my pre takeoff setups are at least close. I may do the unspeakable and delete the horn wave file from the panel sound just so I can enjoy the airplane for a bit.ThanksWarren

Hi againAPU is selected off and trim is set correctly as far as I can determine. I have however been able to make a horn free takeoff with the APU on as well but normally I have it selected off. I started the previous post and did gain some info which was helpful -- unfortunately the horn alarm is still there.ThanksWarren

Hi all Would anyone care to summarize the takeoff configuration requirements in order to avoid the alarm horn. I have been working with the airplane for several weeks but have managed only a few takeoffs without the horn sounding. At least I believe it is this horn. I have PDCS set, V speed / flap setting set, flaps appropriate, RTO selected, yaw damper on and (probably) the air conditioning /pressurization set correctly; both bleeds on, isolation valve set to auto, packs on pressurization set to flight and "auto"; hydraulics and generators selected on. In addition I have found that after landing with parking brake set the doors will not open correctly -- the main door begins to open but then closes and the cargo door will not open. At the beginning of a flight (prior to takeoff) everything functions properly. I have most versions installed (but use the Kittyhawk)as well as all the updates. I have been using the freeware version of FSUIPC.Help, advice or counselling appreciated. I have thoroughly read through the FAQs and most entries in the forum.ThanksWarren

Hi VicI flew the airplane for one circuit but screwed up the pressurization and could not silence the alarm. I'll try it again later. Any opinions on the merits of registering FSUIPC. From what I have read many facets of this 737 improve. Just wondering what others may be doing. I'm not really a payware guy but might make an exception for this particular utility.ThanksWarren

HiI haven't flown the airplane for a few days but I believe I was allowing the APU to run. I'll try shutting it down and work from there.ThanksWarren

Hi I have mostly figured everything out. I'm still finding a few peculiarities but that may be because I don't use a registered copy of FSUIPC.Overall a nice realistic aircraft.ThanksWarren

HiSome time ago I had a similar problem in FS9. In my case the compass was not quite 180 degrees out but close. The problem turned out to be a totally unrelated scenery folder (not even close to where I was flying) - perhaps just one of the .bgl files. It was very difficult to find -- I removed or disabled each indiviual folder - restarting FS each time until the problem disappeared. I was probably fortunate to find it. Not sure if this could occur in FS2002 or not.Hope this helps.Warren

Thanks BobThere goes my last excuse for landing in the long grass.Warren

Hi againStill learning this great aircraft and panel. Seem to have solved most of the alarm issues including the pressurization horn which I wrote about previously. I still suspect that the horn cutoff switches are intermittent but since I have managed not to trip the horn I have not had to deal with it.New problem. I have installed all the add ons and updates and have observed that the view forward out of the cockpit window now appears to have the aircraft "crabbing" as it taxis on a runway or taxiway. before the updates this aircraft looked normal so I believe this change was caused by one of the updates. If so I'm wondering if anyone else has observed this and if so how it might be corrected. Always a chance that it is just my tired old eyes.Opinions or advice appreciated.ThanksWarren

I've recently started to learn the great 737-200 and panel. I've read quite a few posts about problems involving the pressurization alarm horn. My specific issue is that I am unable to de-activate this horn by pressing either of the cut out buttons. Neither appears to be functional. I believe I have all the updates installed to 1.24.Advice appreciated.Great aircraft and panel.ThanksWarren

HelloNot sure if this might help but believe it or not a while back I experienced heading problems because of a bad scenery .BGL file. It turned out to way down in the Caribbean and totally unrelated to areas I was flying in (Upstate NY and Northern Florida). My headings were about 120 degrees out, consistently. Eventually I was able to isolate the problem .bgl, and remove it -- everything was then normal. Tom Gibson over at calclassic.com was very helpful in finding the solution.Hope this helps.Aspen31
