I hate repaints threads where all you see are pics of the repaints and no indication where to get them, let alone working links.

I can't seem to set the EPR panel to do a flex takeoff. It just reverts back to TO when I press the FLEX button. Also, does anyone know how to arm AF/APR?

Hi All. I am a new owner of this nifty little plane, and I've done a few flights with her and all has gone rather well. I have the F1 GTN installed and working properly. I'm wondering what the CTOT and APR settings are all about and what effect they have. I also have no idea what the propeller setting "Auto Coarsen" is or does. And regarding power management--I put the condition levers at full forward for takeoff. Are these supposed to remain at this setting throughout the flight? Is there anything I am supposed to do for climb power, or does everything pretty much stay at 100 percent until I have to descend (obvious that one must reduce power for descent and approach/landing). Having a better understanding of the above items would increase immersion and make this fun little plane even more so. Thanks!

Hello. I am enjoying this little plane. One issue I have is that the Carenado House livery does not show up in P3D4.5hf3 as what the thumbnail suggests. Instead I get an all white aircraft. Is it just me?

I'm not certain when this happened, but I just noticed that my addon airport RJBB in Japan all of a sudden has these two giant patches of land that just showed up next the the airport. They most certainly were not there before. It might just be coincidence, but I hadn't seen this before I updated the P3D client to HF3 (I'm still running 4.5). I do have ORBX FTX Global and Vector installed. I have downloaded the latest ORBX Central app, and refreshed / verified my products' installation and all seems well there. I refreshed the terrain.cfg file. Nothing seems to work, other than uninstalling the RJBB scenery package. It used to be fine! https://photos.app.goo.gl/DnHdZBTNYieVX4Tq7

Many years back, a guy put out "Michaels's Mods" for both the 721 and the 722. If you install them properly, you can operate both aircraft almost exactly on the numbers from the real world EPR charts. It makes a tremendous difference. I agree with you that the CS 727 is a great product. I'm pleased that they added the CIVA ins system in the last update. The only bug that really still nags me on this plane is that the flight director is awful. Why they can't get that even close to right is weird.

Thanks for continuing to improve this great software! I really like the way you can super-impose a chart over the enroute map. That is totally sick!

I was delighted to see that QW ported this old bird to the P3D'verse. She looks spectacular in P3D! For $15 bucks??!! That's a lot of fun for the money. So many variants and TWO different cockpits!! And they added VC radar spot. What a deal. It was their similar strategy with the 146/RJ that caused me to go ahead and go for it with P3D 4.x. So glad I did.

The latest 64 bit version of Roland's Radar works for me in 4.4 and 4.5. For the radar to take up the entire VC area (in VC section 5): gauge01=RolasnRadar!ORadGauge,535,650,474,346, sweep|beam|icing|starton For the version with the console shell: gauge01=RolasnRadar!ShellRadGauge, 535,650,474,346, sweep|beam|icing|starton For the Active Sky Xgauge: gauge01=XGauge!WeatherMap,535,650,474,346

I'm able to use the Operations Center to add or remove liveries.

The JS-4100 is not compatible with the Steam edition of FSX. A few years ago, PMDG said in more than one post that they were going to come out with an update to make it compatible. It was "largely complete" at one point, but then POOF, it was a ghost. They ignore any inquiries in this forum about what happened and why. They make great software, but they behave very strangely sometimes.

For goodness sake, just release the update to make it compatible with FSX-SE!

Yep. Ernie Alston.

I'd like to know that hack! The lack of compatibility of the JS4100 is the only reason I have not migrated everything over to FSX-SE.

I'm not aware of any scenery for KCMI. I do have ORBX FTX Global which helps a little. I was actually surprised at how the similar the real CMI looked to the FSX version! I wasn't looking at details, mind you, just watching that Embraer on 14L and trying to get ready to turn to final and start deploying flaps! Ah yes, what became FSX/P3D was born here at the UofI as a lesson by the name of "Airfight" on the PLATO system at the CERL lab. Bruce Artwick's project.

Wow, that is a little bit like how I was after we were in the air. We were climbing at around 75-80 knots, and beginning a left turn that the instructor told me to execute. It was not that windy, but I was a bit unnerved by the effect it had on the plane. I started to think I was in over my head a little, and told the instructor that I might have to bail and have him take over. He calmly talked me through it, and I steadied my nerves and continued the rest of the way. But, for a moment, the gravity of the situation almost threw me!

I found it easier because I could see everything in three dimensions.

For Christmas last year, my wife got me a voucher for a "fun flight" at our local airport, KCMI, with the Parkland College Institute of Aviation in Champaign, IL. These flights are 30 minutes with a flight instructor, but generally, the client is strictly a passenger. We did the flight last month. I told my wife and my son (my son came along for the ride) that I thought there was a small chance I would be allowed to take the controls briefly, most likely in level flight at altitude. The instructor talked to me for a few minutes as I told him about my sim flying experience (almost 20 years), and asked me what I would be comfortable doing. I told him whatever he was ok with, lol! The flight was in a fairly well-used but excellently maintained Archer III. We did the walk-around, and he had me get in the left seat! We went through the checklists and I did all the pre-flight flows. Essentially, I flew the entire flight from takeoff to landing! The instructor worked the radios and the elevator trim control. I did everything else. We flew about 5 miles to my son's house, did a couple of photo laps, then headed out another 8 miles to my house, and did the same. We then flew back to the airport and got to watch an Embraer 145 (American Eagle) take off as we were flying the base leg. I then landed the plane perfectly on the numbers! I have been lucky enough to do many cool things, and have flown as a passenger on many enjoyable commercial flights. But this was probably the coolest thing I've ever done. I still can't believe it.

I bought Pro-ATC to try to get something more realistic than the built-in ATC. It is an expensive program. It is very buggy and clunky. The interface sucks. It vectored me into a mountain in Austria. I wish I had tried VOX-ATC instead. I hear it is better. All that said, I do prefer Pro-ATC to the built-in ATC, but it is a pain in the neck sometimes.

Thanks guys. When I press IAS it does go to CLMP. I then pull back my throttle lever on the CH Yoke and it goes to idle.

If I am cruising along using mach or speed hold mode with the Autothrottle system engaged, and I wish to descend using IAS mode with AT still engaged, what should be done to get the AT to get it to switch to some sort of idle mode? Right now, it seems like it stays at its current setting after I have engaged the IAS descend mode. If I move the (CH Yoke) throttle axis all the way down, the AT goes to idle for the descent. Is that normally how the pilot commands the AT to go to idle to allow an IAS descent? Thanks!

Hi all. New owner of this awesome plane. I'm having trouble with the cockpit flood lighting. I have the APU up powering the plane, and I can get the dome light on. I can get the actual instrument lights on, but the flood lighting for either the Captain or FO side won't come on when I rotate the knobs. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I am running the latest version from Simmarket, running the 32 bit plane in FSX-Acceleration with Windows 7-64.

Thanks, Bill. I already own the Majestic Q400, the PMDG JS4100, and the Aerosoft Twotter, as well as the CS C130, so I already have some nice turbos to play with. The freeware HS748 is pretty fun as well. There is even an FH-227 out there with a panel by Fraser MacKay that is an FS9 port that works well enough in FSX to be worthwhile. I wonder if there are plans to fix whatever is wrong with the FMC in the F50. I don't own the GTN750, and I don't plan to purchase it anytime soon.
