Sam World jetways does not appear to work with any static aircraft at least at KDEN. It works with the plane I am flying but doesn't connect to the static planes. Any ideas how to make it connect to the static planes? Thanks, Alan

No, RealAir is still shut down and will stay that way but, you can update select aircraft from this webpage http://realairsimulations.net/

Got it figured out. In the aircraft config file I found this line Airfile set by William Ortis, copyright April 2009\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ 55 Gallon fuel AI Use /////////////////////////////////////Build 2.6\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Don't know where it came from but after I revised the fuel portion back to 160 I got a full tank of fuel. Of coarse I don't get the full payload but now I know why I only had a little fuel. I just need to balance fuel, payload, and range. Might have to load up on fuel along the way.

I've had the Kodiak for a couple of years now and just never noticed this before because I would only use it for very short flights. I started using it to fly in Hawaii and noticed when I load up the fuel for 100% using the fuel and payload section of FSX (acceleration) I only get 737lbs of fuel which is a little more than 1/4 full. I can't get a full tank. I have it installed on the same computer as before. Also, I can only get about a 200 mile range flying about 178mph. Is this normal? Thanks, Alan

We would love to give you a going away gift by purchasing more of your products if you could stay one more week. Best of luck to you. Alan

Lots of other good sales for Thanksgiving. :smile:

Gottfried finally got back to me and he fixed the broken link.

Is Gottfried still available to help on his Blue Sky Photoreal Scenery? I'm unable to download some of his Utah photo scenery areas and he doesn't respond to emails. I just started using some of his Utah areas but can't get the ones I need. Would I be better off to go with Megascenery? Thanks, Alan

London Heathrow addon is a hard one on frame rates to start with. What plane are you using for testing with? Alan

It's ok but I prefer the HD version. The $10 version has static jetways and a few other problems that I can't remember now that I have the HD version. Alan

Thanks, I finally got this stallion under control..

I posted this in the wrong place (Tips) and can't edit or delete so I'll post it here. I just got the Quest Kodiak. Great plane ,but I have the 'rocket' effect on startup with both the land and the water model . Parking brakes are on (except water); I have tried setting the prop to 0, fuel to 30%. I tried setting the beta min to 0.5. When I fire up the turbine, away she goes. I have to hit F2 and the brakes to stop. By then I'm either half way down the runway, crashed into a building or beached. Sometimes when I hit F2 it will flip backwards and crash. Any other ideas to get this stallion calmed down? I don't have any starting problems with any other turbine aircraft. Thanks, Alan FSX 64 bit, Win7, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick.

Tom, You are a giant among men. May God be with you and your family. Thank you for AVSIM and all your hard work. Prayers are on the way. Just heard the song 'Sunrise-Sunset'. Time really does fly by. You are loved by all.

Maybe next holiday season.

30% off all Flightbeam airports until Jan 2, 2015 12pm PST... B)

I just went to the Just Flight site and the original Air Hauler (download) is special priced at 14.99. Not as good as previous sale but not bad. Air Hauler gets you to airports you would have never thought to visit. Fun... Alan

I had the same problem. Go here for the fix. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?82973-C-47-from-Manfred-Jahn-and-team/page8. Start at the bottom of page 8 and finish on page 9. This solution worked for me, maybe it will work for you. Alan

Hello anybody home-----Anyone, anyone?

Betelgeuse, Were you able to fix his problem? I have the same problem only worse. No way to start my aircraft. The panel doesn't appear. Alan

I thought I would give the MAAM DC3 for FSX a try, but it doesn't work. I get no gauges except the sperry autopilot in either vc mode or 2d. The window pop-ups for the Window04=Overhead Electrical Panel, Window06=Cowl Flaps, Window07=Flap and Gear Controls and Window09=Audio fail to open. They flash for a half a second is all. I downloaded the Norm Hancock panel and I now get gauges but the pop-ups still fail to work so I can't even start the engines. Any ideas? Thanks, Alan Using Win 7 with Acceleration, GTX 570

Thanks for the reply
