Anyone else have an issue with the sound on the wipers not stopping when the wipers have been turned off after use?Just curious..No big problem I just wont use them. Michael Haines

Your not alone I have this problem also.Other than that great addonCheersMichael Haines

I am also a happy PMDG JS41 owner and am also the owner of saitek panels.Thanks for your work Massimo already. You have made this great addon even better already for those cursed with Saitek Drivers.I would love to be able to see Flight Levels,headings and speeds set via the panels etc.I am thinking PMDG are pretty busy at the moment with their upcoming NGX release.I hope your request does not fall on deaf ears.Regards Michael Haines

Hot Diggity Dog!!!!!!! :(

Yesand you will be the first to complain if it was rushed and didn't function properly..RegardsMichael Haines

Thanks I will investigate...Regards Mick Haines

Hi guy's Have just been searching around the forum and on FSUIPC's (configuring panels to work with FScrew2) and can't seem to find a key command or LUA that contains a trigger for the conspic lights.Does anyone know if there is one or how to make one and would willing to share the information?Regards Mick Haines

Hi there Guys. Hope I'm not speaking out of topic here but have been using this great program for a while now and the only thing I miss is the ability to use voice reconition to control ATC due to the not being able to activate the speech engine. I have W7 Ultimate as an operating system does anyone know about a work around? That they are willing to share (payware would be fine).RegardsMichael

Thanks Bryan and Ian.That has solved the problem.RegardsMichael

Hi Guy's Have been trying to get through several start up procedures with this product and from what I've seen so far this is the best Co-pilot experience in a flight sim to date.I seem to have a problem with windows 7 speech engine executing applications outside of the game which in turn is causing flight sim to crash i.e."Start engine left" tends to open the start menu of windows and when I called out "Before start check please" the PC opened an Adobe version of the Before start check from the AOM. That kind of stuff.I've run the voice trainer seveal times and to no avail.I guess the reason for this post is to see if anyone knows how to rectify this problem/disable global voice commands etc. or have any hints or tips that can make this occur a little less.I only use voice recognition on this aircraft to date.Any advice would be much appreciated.RegardsMichael

Don't you hate it when you say something dumb on a spur of the moment during an intense phase of "I cant do it's!!!!"Seems to hang around in this forum for a while :( Problem was solved after many forum articles were read...Guess I'll have to apply the skill, patience, talent, and technique I learned playing ping pong to the ever challenging world of scenery creation :( RegardsMichael

I am wasting my life!!!!!After Nearly 12 Days of @#$%%^^ around with these @#$%$%^^& stupid programs, I finally give up.I simply cannot resample a INI file when it has a blend [source] as a tiff file......All the best to the community Im going to take up PING PONG or something dumbRegardsMichael Haines :(

Hi there ScottThanks for your reply.Your instructions have shed some light on what I am doing wrong.Guess I will need more time playing with GIMP@ to nail this.Seems like I have messed up in the layer proccess of GIMP2 I did not create another layer but another BMP the converted to TIF for the blend mask and saved it as a seperate file in the work folder of SBuilderX. :( Here's a copy of my INI File just for a laugh.[source] Type = MultiSource NumberOfSources = 2[source1] Type = BMP Layer = Imagery SourceDir = "." SourceFile = "L16X116122X116128Y78959Y78963.BMP" Variation = All NullValue = 255,255,255 Channel_BlendMask = 2.0 SamplingMethod = Gaussian ulyMap = -34.558597459864 ulxMap = 138.938598632813 xDim = 1.07288360595703E-05 yDim = 8.83509452520581E-06 [source2] Type = TIFF Layer = None SourceDir = "."

Hi there Guy'sI am trying to make a Photoreal ground texture for a small airstrip called "Rowland Flat" in the Barrossa Valley South Australia.Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial for making a blend mask for photoreal scenery using Gimp 2.I have been using different resourses ie"Modifying Default Airport Terrian with SBuilderX/OZX Developers Guide,{Making scenery for country airstrips}""to try to work out what is going on but to no avail.I am able to create a BGL that is photoreal in SBuilderX that is the size of the initial BMP but after changing the INI file adding [source2] etc...and trying to compile with my blend TIFF resample does not seem to work.It just flashes and no new BGL is produced.Any help or Direction would be much appreciated.RegardsMichael Haines

Hello LuisHmm.Seem's like there are are far more "holes" in my knowledge than in your tutorial.I did claim that I was an Idiot... :( I have been able to access sat images via Manifold but as you stated... only the flavour of the month i.e. Virtual Earth. Using imagery from another provider has worked and I am now working my way through your tutorial.Thankyou for your response .Kind Regards MichaelRegards

Does anyonre know if there's a current version of a tutorial for SBuilder "for idiots". I cant seem to get any satellite imagery to display within the program.What Im after is to add photo textures to a simple aerodrome.I have never used Sbuilder before and find the tutorial has quite a few holes hence the concepts are quite hard to grasp.

+1

Got It sorted in the end after a bit of research.Thankyou for your efforts Guenter.Michael Haines

Sounds Like secret Men's business to me I can't even create a new MCRO file...LOL. :( RegardsMichael Haines

Hi there KenI had a problem with PMDG 747 displaying a black box where to ATC menu should be with Voxatc deluxe some time ago.I contact Vox support and was supplied with a modified panel file which enabled it to work on this aircraft.If its working on Win7 64bit with these other addon's it might be worth while getting in touch with support and asking about the problem.RegardsMichael H

Yep, I print the airport and approach maps then before take off verify with MSFS map as some differences do occur with frequencies.I generally just google the ICAO code, ie "KJFK charts" and find most of the larger destinations.Michael Haines

I printed into booklet form, cut down the center, lamenated, spiral bound at the top and hey presto looks like the one in the sim.Kind of cool not to have to click and fumble with it in the sim also lamenated the check list.Michael Haines

Couldn't have said it better myself.

mmm, strange I just uprgraded to V5.0 from 4.0137 and found it seems to works much better .No drop in FPS here. So much so I'll start using it again for the larger aircraft.Michael
