  1. Add the following to the fsx.cfg file; [Textinfo.4] ... ... FuelRemainingPounds=1,3 ... Take a 737 and load it with fuel, full, three quarters, half and a quarter. See the FuelRemainingPounds reading; 100% = 46063lbs = 47265624thingys = 1026thingys/lb 75% = 34457lbs = 26585569thingys = 772thingys/lb 50% = 23031lbs = 11817177thingys = 513thingys/lb 25% = 11516lbs = 2953691thingys = 256thingys/lb Anybody any idea what these thingys are? They're certainly not "pounds of fuel remaining".I see the 1024/768/512/256 relationship :-)
  2. Nice to see a good suggestion. I re-installed FSXA and tried it. I particularly like the reload user aircraft suggestion. This is a new one for me, thanks for pointing it out, one day I'll have to go through the controls.dll to see what other goodies there are.(For others, the command is: <Entry> <Key>CTRL+SHIFT+R</Key> <Down>RELOAD_USER_AIRCRAFT</Down> </Entry>)I had to really bring the max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt down low. It's better at 0.01 but you will get earache from ATC when you start your descent, "Please expedite your descent ...". Below 20000.0, the figures below are good enough for a turbulent ILS approach (these are from the B737_800).max_pitch_acceleration=0.3 // was 1.0max_pitch_velocity_lo_alt=1.0 // was 2.0max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt=0.02 // was 1.5max_pitch_velocity_lo_alt_breakpoint=20000.0max_pitch_velocity_hi_alt_breakpoint=28000.0The following may help for an ILS approach:gs_proportional_control=25.0gs_integrator_control=0.53gs_derivative_control=0.00gs_integrator_boundary=0.70gs_derivative_boundary=0.00but I have yet to investigate the possibilites.Thanks again.Chris.
  3. You are obviously not aware of the problem. This is not a gentle wandering of altitude (phugoid oscillation) nor a trim/barometric discrepany. This is the VSI needle banging full scale top then bottom. If memory serves me correctly that's +6,000ft/min to -6,000ft/min (B737/B747/B777) about two or three times a second.
  4. Can everyone calm down. There IS a problem with the acceleration pack, it is nothing to do with how the aircraft is loaded or phugoid oscilation. There IS a fix.Install FSX, install SP1, install acceleration.Copy the whole of the "..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X" to another drive.Un-install acceleration - I know it looks like it un-installs everything but it just drops back to standard FSX installation with SP1.Install SP2.Copy the following subdirectories from your copied installation back to the 'live' installation;CategoriesEffectsGaugesmissionspropdefsrewardsscenery ** Setup - there are changes here but I need to investigate further, hold off on this one **Sound Uires ** I don't know what this is but it does no harmIn simobjects\Airplanes just copy; FA-18 P51_RacerCopy the whole of boats (it's just easier), same for GroundVehicles and Misc.For RotorCraft just copy EH101.You now have the new aircraft and missions. I've tried a couple of the missions and everything looks like it's ok. More importantly, I can now take off from Heathrow, climb to cruising altitude, set the AP, hit x16, go watch TV and come back in an hour ready for the descent into Singapore.Oh, and by the way, where have I been? Had FS9?I've been flight simming since v1.0 by Bruce Artwick back in the seventies on a TRS80.
  5. Just installed acceleration. Exactly the same problem. Hard to believe after a year the only solution is to uninstall. It only affects big iron. Your Cessnas and Beechcrafts are still fine.I'm going to try a few things over the next few days. It has be the difference between the seperate SP2 and the one included in acceleration. My first attempt will be copy all of fsx to drive D:, uninstall acceleration (which uninstalls everything), re-install fsx and sp2, then copy all the files back discarding any duplicates, that should get the missions and the aircraft without the included service pack - in theory.
