  1. Ramon, Thanks for all the hard work. I have done a few test flights with version 1 and it's been working really well. Looking forward to testing 1.2. Thanks again, Matt
  2. Version 1.1 corrected the issue. It reads correctly now
  3. Nice Job Matt, is the second paint available? Its a beautiful paint scheme Matt
  4. Thanks RamonB. I appreciate the help. Look forward to your GTN mod, looks sweet!
  5. I've done a couple of test flights with the Falcon, and overall I'm pretty happy with it. One thing I noticed about the Proline was regarding the Perf page (fuel management) . For fuel usage, It only showed fuel burn for two engines and the apu. Based on my flight plan and fuel burn, the engines, it was showing fuel burn for was engines 1 and 3. No fuel usage was listed for engine 2. However on the main panel, it does correctly show the fuel burn for all three engines, which also cross checks with the fuel manager in the sim. What this did was give a misleading range and endurance calculated by the proline. On the perf page while en-route, the Proline was only calculating fuel burn off of two engines, which showed a range of well over 4000 nm. After landing and checking my fuel burn, based off of the fuel remaining from the gauge on the main panel and what was shown in the prepar3d fuel manager, the range for the aircraft was correct. I had approximately 66% fuel remaining for a 980nm flight. Overall the Proline worked well, followed my flight plan, including the altitude restrictions I had programmed for a VNAV descent. The only other glitch I encountered was to engage the approach button on the auto pilot, I had to briefly disengage the auto pilot and reconnect it. It would then activate the approach button and follow the glide slope. Just was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same, Matt
  6. You're welcome Rick. Have been doing some test flights with it, so far it's performing pretty well, it hit all of the altitude restrictions I had programmed in my flight plan . Still figuring some things out, but overall happy with it.
  7. Have you selected the FMS as your Nav source? On your left PFD, under the speed tape it will either display VOR1, VOR2 or FMS for your Nav source. Make sure that is shows FMS, otherwise it will look for your VOR1 or VOR2, which ever one is showing. In order to change the Nav source, just to the right of your master caution lights on your glareshield look for a square button labeled Nav/Brg. It will be just to the right of the Baro knob. Push the button, and then look to the far left PFD, a blue bordered box named " Nav Source " will open. FMS will be on top followed by VOR1 and VOR2. To cycle through these rotate the Menu Advance knob which is located just to the right of the Nav/Brg button on the glare shield. (Menu advance is the inner knob) You should then be able to cycle through the three nav sources. If you want to follow your Nav radio make sure you go back and choose the correct Nav source that you programmed your frequency for. Hope it helps, Matt
  8. Thanks Jevon, both you and Bert are tenacious! I didn't think the overlapping data could have been solved. I can't thank you enough for all you've done. Hope you have a Happy Anniversary! Matt
  9. Jevon, Thank you very much for all of the time and effort you put into this project, I'd also like to thank Bert and Raymar, and everyone else involved for helping out.. I just completed my first flight with the CJ2+, Prepar 3Dv4, KICT-KBDR 1206nm. (2740 pounds of fuel burned total. Cruise was at FL410) The plane worked flawlessly throughout all phases of the flight. I programmed both the GTN 750 and the Carenado Proline with the exact same routing to see what would happen. The CJ2+ followed the flight plan from the GTN unit, however I did put the autopilot in vnav mode and was surprised that it did capture the altitude restrictions I had programmed in the proline 21. The primary flight display did display waypoint info from both nav devices one on top of the other. which isn't really an issue as I will only be using the GTN mostly. Though it is nice to have the option of the proline. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is how to have the GTN as a popup. I'm sure that i am missing something. Thanks again for everything, I'm going to have some fun flying her Matt
  10. I agree, would be nice to see an updated Dreamfleet 727!
  11. Sweet! Really looking forward to this :yahoo:
  12. Shez, Thank you for your time and effort, it's greatly appreciated, Matt
  13. Rafal, Looking good! Glad to see all of your work paid off :good: Take care, Matt
  14. Hi Ian, I have two SSD's on my system, one for the operating system and the other for FS9 and FSX. I also have a WD caviar black 1TB for storage. As far as performance, you won't notice any framerate improvement, but as has been said your load times will be greatly decreased. Also a plus is they are silent. I've had mine for about a year and a half. On a technical note, mine are installed internally. They are pretty small and light, I have mine mounted in it's ssd bracket which is attached in my case with velcro. Mine are also hooked up to a Sata6 port. Do you know the model of your motherboard? They will need a SATA port. If you want to mount and use them externally you could use something like this: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16815158088 Even thought they are expensive,I'm very happy with my ssd's, and will only use a traditional drive for storage from this point forward. Matt
