That's a good idea, to assign 1+2 levers to one axis. I will follow your advice. tks.

Recently, I downloaded the Pilot's Dash 7, which has 4 throttles and 4 condition levers. For obvious reasons, my throttle quadrant does not have 8 levers, so I've mapped 4 levers to each engine. Now, I am trying to map one lever to control all 4 condition levers. In MSFS 2024 it's pretty simple: it allows "all engines" for one axis. Somehow, I am having trouble finding a similar option in A&O. I've tried many methods, including writing a script. No success yet. Any help would be appreciated. tks

Ok, so the the "auto" tasks skip the engines. Thanks.

As I try to become familiar with this aircraft, I am not sure if the engines can be started by the flight engineer through the EFB. As I let the engineer proceed with the checklist, the engines fail to start. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

I found it: with the GPS option, it uses the gps frequency knob.

Can someone explain to me why the aircraft loads with the NAV1 radio with both frequency windows as "INOP", while NAV 2 appears to work normally. I've tried all kinds of switches, yet no success. Thank you.

Why not use the axis and oh's curve feature. It will slow down or speed up the throttle response in the sim relative to joystick axis.

Why not try using some electrical contact cleaner on the pots. It comes in spray form, so it will reach the insides of the pots. Jittery pots are a sign of mechanical wear or electrical corrosion. It's a temporary fix, and the way these quadrants were assembled, changing pots is almost impossible.

I am sure that there's a conflict somewhere, but, so far, I've not been able to identify it. I run Chase Plane for my camera views. When I use my POV button to move around the cockpit, the cockpit view moves too fast, always stopping past my intended stop. I've used the sim's camera setting, the controls setting and even Chase Plane, but nothing seems to control the speed. Any clue will be greatly appreciated.

I have a fairly good system: 7800X3d and 7950xt. Before SU5, I was a happy simmer, experiencing excellent performance all around. I did not experience severe stutters or anything to make me feel less than a happy simmer. I did not make any changes when the sim updated to su5. What changed was that the sim was no longer flyable. Severe stutters beyond anything I had see in the sim until now. Immediately, I concluded that the update introduced new variables that made generated stutters. It took me a while to get to it, mostly by trial and error and some you tubing, but I finally discovered that setting the correct sync rate in gpu ( in my case, adrenalin), and msfs 24 is critical. Once I managed to find the right combination, my stutters totally disappeared. It may seem obvious to some, but to many it's a small yet very critical setting that can make or break the sim. As an example, a mismatched syn rate between, sim and monitor, would produce a range as high as 90 and as low as 14 fps. Now, I fly at a steady 60 with 2x frame gen and no stutters. Perhaps I've missed this aspect of the sim, mostly because some people talk about tearing when the sync rate is matched. Anyway, hope this helps some of you who are still struggling with severe stutters.

Perhaps someone can help. No issues pre su5 with my CH Yoke POV switch controlling basic right, left, up and down views with the POV button. After su5, no matter what I do, I cannot make the camera views work. I have checked for conflicts and all other potential issues. The only way to have the camera work is to do it through Chase Plane. However, this was not a problem before the upgrade. I've reset the controls. I have no issues programming the axis. Only the camera. Of course, I should have made a backup copy.... Oh, well. thanks.

After updating to su5, I had all kinds of long time loading issues. I followed a you tuber's suggestion to uninstall and reinstall the sim and, true, enough, loading times have gone back to less than 60 seconds and the sim no longer stutters. Not enough is said about the importance of balancing gpu settings with cpu load. Once these items are understood and set properly, the sim is a joy.

For some reason, when you google this site, there are two links. One is the legitimate one; the other will spam you or even infect you with a virus. I don't remember if it's the link that ends with a .com or .net. One of these is not legitimate.

The current b727 from FSS is a very good aircraft. Detailed and pretty high fidelity. It would not be very difficult for this developer to go to a 707 and also to a DC8. I do agree that Just Flight seems to have very good luck with excellent vintage planes such as the F27 and the B146.

If Asobo continues with its "legends" models, like the b707, there's no reason why the DC8 should not be considered. Hopefully, a more reliable developers should be assigned to the task.
