Hi Johnman, thanks for that idea! I didn't think of deleting the mysterious Prepar3d.cfg. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. But I found out that ASN causes the problem! As soon as I start ASN, my helicopter becomes unflyable. I'll report that in the ASN Forum. Thanks fou your help Johnman Regards, Ben

Hi guys, I'm desperately trying to fix (what I think is) a FDE problem in Prepar3d V3.1. I'll just explain what happened: I've just bought the Milviz MD530F helicopter and experienced a weird behaviour regarding the yaw axis: When I apply right rudder, the helicopter turns about 20°, then stops. After a second it turns again for a few degrees and stops again. Sometimes the helicopter doesn't move around the yaw axis for a couple of seconds, just to turn for 180° in the next second... I would describe it as lagging. That makes it unflyable. I thought it was a helicopter-specific problem (same problem with the standard R22), but then I found out that the Alabeo Extra 300s - and all other aircraft - have the same problem: When I pull the nose up for about 30°, turn the Extra into the knife-edge position and let go of the controls, the nose should drop. The nose drops, but stops after a few degrees. A second later, the nose drops until it "locks" again. I guess something is blocking the aircraft from moving around freely, especially around the yaw axis. It has nothing to do with the controls. The pedals move as they should when I apply rudder, and the problem even occurs when I unplug all my controllers and fly with the keyboard. I've disabled all my addons (Accufeel for example), double checked the assignments and calibrated all my controllers. Has anyone experienced something like that or even has a solution? Thank you very much! Regards, Ben

Seems to be a problem with Windows 8.1 since several members of the Coolsky forum have reported problems under win 8 even with fsx. I'll start a thread about Win 8.1 and addons in the Win 8 OS forum. Thank you very much for your help!!

Getting full ownership didn't fix the problem. Any other Solutions? I would love to see my favourite plane in this awesome sim. But anyway thanks for your help :rolleyes:

Hi, has anyone had success with installing the Coolsky DC-9 in Prepar3d V2.2? I've tried it with EMT on a clean 2.2 install, but none of the gauges works. Seems like Prepar3d won't use the CSDC9.dll in the gauge folder... Any Solutions? Regards, Benny

Thanks for the advice Jason!I didn't use the FO's course selector because I've turned FO's displays off to save fps (I double checked the frequencies and wondered why it's still amber)...And I don't use Vref + 5 because even with Vref I've got problems with getting this bird down.But this issue will be corrected with SP1 :) Ben

That was the problem. I didn't know that the course window has to be within 90 degrees of the runway heading.That's Karlsruhe Baden-Baden (EDSB) and the runway heading is 211.After that flight I flew on radial 243 to VOR TGO next to the runway 25 (heading 253) of Stuttgart EDDS and.... it worked! But may it be a little bug that the backup instruments show the ILS correctly? Thanks a lot to all of you! Regards,Ben

Sorry, somehow it didn't work

Here's the screenshot.Moments before the magenta diamond was still there...

Wow, that was fast Ryan I'll take a screenshot as soon as possible (tomorrow after school) and upload it in this thread!

Hi folks,on my last (manual) ILS approaches, I noticed that after I had captured the glideslope, the whole vertical glideslope indicator on the PFD disappeared. I continued the approach with the glideslope indicator on the backup instruments....Is this a possible bug?Had anyone this problem too? Regards,Ben

I've removed both springs and replaced them with two strong rubbers.In my opinion it feels much better with the NGX Ben

So... is there no way to keep the flight data during the touch and go?After my first circuit today I couldn't find the airport anymore because I was flying under IMC conditions... Benny

Hey guys,I've got a strange problem witht the MD-11:All works well, but after ca. 30 minutes of flight, I can hear a sizzling noise from the speakers, a few minutes later the EICAS gets nearly black, and after again 2 minutes the PC crashes! :( Has anyone got the same problem? Or a solution?Ben

Hey guys,After taking my first flight without tutorial or anything, I got a problem with the brakes after deactivatiing the autobrakes on the runway at circa 40 kts, I couldn't brake anymore, the red "brake" in the lower left corner didn't appear! I tried a few things, but I couldn't find a solution.Did anybody have the same problem or got a solution?I would be proud if anybody could help me! :( Reagards,Ben

Hey guys,I did the tutorial flight with the grat MD-11, and now I wanted to try a flight without help, so I prepared a flight from EDDM to EDDH.All worked well until I came into the cockpit to align the IRS. My settings were, that the IRS is after 15 second already aligned. So I put all IRS buttons on and I waited. While doing my FMC entries, came the message: ALING IRS. And when I came at the point where to push the button next to ALIGN IRS* on the INIT page, the LAT and LONG area where emty and if I tried to push ALING IRS*, came the message that I'm not allowed to do it! I tried it a few more times woth different panel states, but alway the same problem -.-Has anyone got a solution?Many regards,Ben

OK thanks guys, that's what I wanted to know! :( BEN

Hi guys,I know, PMDG isn't allowed to publicize the fuel datas or something, but how should we plan our flight without any informations about consumption of the fuel? Has anyone got some ideas to plan your flight usefull?regards,Ben

Hey guys!I bought the MD-11 and flew the tutorial flight many times, but I always got the same problem:The CDU doesn't change from climb to cruise mode, it holds the altitude after the TC but if I reach the TD, the aircraft still holds FL 370, and no path deviation indication appears, on the FMS PERF page I'm still on the climb page and no informations are on the cruise page, so could anyone please help me?regards,Ben
