Dohhh.... :Silly: I´ve never read the Introduction manual, only the turorial manual. In the introduction manual they have written what you already mentioned. Thanks Glen. Regards, Torsten

Hello, I have discovered a small strange behavior of my J41. For example, after I have entered a fuel load of 2800 lbs on the load sheet, the same value is displayed on the fuel display on the bottom of the "rpm, torque ..." display. Now I power on the FMS, select the actual position of the plane, load the flight plan and click on plan to enter the reserve fuel (the exact same procedure as in the PMDG tutorial). There the remaining fuel is always 57xx lbs (so the plane is loaded with 100% fuel). The same on the last page, the value fuel on board. Has someone an idea what could cause these different values? Did I miss something? Thanks for any hints. Regards, Torsten

Hi Gregg, The installation and setup of Linda is easy: 1) extract the files in the FSX\Modules folder 2) Remove existing axis assignments in FSX After this, just start the Linda Tool and select the airplane you want to configure from the top level drop-down box and configure everything. There is a good manual for the tool: http://fs-linda.com/downloads/Manual.pdf Just read it step by step and you will have configured the joystick very fast. For the JS41 you don´t need any special LUA file. It´s already packaged in Linda :) One important thing!! You need the registered version of FSUIPC. The free one doesn´t allow to assign buttons and axis!! I hope that I could point you in the right direction. For more information about Linda, I would suggest their forum, instead of the PMDG one: http://forum.avsim.net/forum/424-linda/ Regards, Torsten

Hi Gregg, That´s what I´m using for the TO/GA Button: ipc.writeLvar("L:GoAroundSwitch", 1) ipc.control(66587,4890) ipc.control(66587,8031) ipc.sleep(200) ipc.writeLvar("L:GoAroundSwitch", 0) ipc.control(66587,8031) ipc.control(66587,4891) It´s a part of a LUA script I´m using in FSUIPC. The easiest way would be to use LINDA. Just use google and enter LINDA and FSUIPC. It´s very helpfull and you will be able to map nearly everything on your stick. Regards, Torsten

Hi Modena,I assume you are using Vista or Windows 7. Open the editor you are using as administrator (right click on the icon and select run as adminstrator). Also check, if the file has only read permissions (rigth click on the file and properties),Hope that helps.Regard,Torsten

I asked the Carenado support the same question: The answer I got was, that the patch is already included in the installers from e.g. Aerosoft (that's the place I bought the plane). Regards,Torsten

Hi, The FSUIPC autosave feature works perfect with the NGX. Before the first Hotfixes I had a lot of trouble and also the entered Flightplan in the FMC is stored.The autosave feature is only available in the payed version of FSUIPC. Regards,Torsten

Fantastic paint job. I love this livery. Is it possible to get a fictional paint with a VH- identification ? (I'm really bad in doing repaints :) Regards,Torsten

Hi Robert, No, I didn't open a ticket yet due to lack of time to write down all the details for the support.I also had the autosave feature activated but for me it didn't helped to deactivate this feature.For me the whole approach was a low FPS show and I couldn't control the plane and very often the whole FSX was freezed and returned for some frames, just to fall back to a freeze. This looped until the plane crashed on the runway. Regards,Torsten

Hi Robert, I had this problem too. With payware airports and default airports. After I had disabled the HUD feature, the problem was gone. I'm looking forward to the first SP and check it again. Regards, Torsten

Hi, Check the following 2 threads. I hope it helps to solve your issue:http://forum.avsim.n...14#entry2053314http://forum.avsim.n...03#entry2049703 Regards,Torsten

Hi Marco, Yes, it's required.Do not forget to add the dome fix too after you have installed the hotfix. You will find it as a pinned thread from Tabs. Regards,Torsten PS: Steve was a second faster with the reply :)

Hi, Sorry that I didn't react on your response. I was a little busy and had no time to check the forum. Regarding your FSUIPC question: Yes, I have a registered version and I'm already using LUA scripts for my JS41. Thanks for sharing the cab file. It looks better then switching around between ALT and VS :) Regards,Torsten

Hi, Have a look at the last posts of the thread from TiRex. I've found a solution for the X52 problem. Regards, Torsten

I had the same problem with my X52. The solution was, to program everything with the "extended command option" instead of using the button macro feature. Hope that helps you to solve the issue you have. Regards,Torsten

Hi, I will put it to my existing LUA script and test it. Many thanks :) Regards,Torsten

Hello, I'd like to put a keyboard shortcut to the Go-around button. For the most and (for me) important commands I have used FSUIPC and the LUA script from one of the posts here. I tried to find something with the FSUIPC logging facility but without success. Maybe someone has an idea, or better a solution :) A tutorial on how to find such values to create LUA scripts would be helpful too. Thanks, Torsten

Hello,I'd like to switch between the output of the AP ALT and the AP V/S by using a keyboard shortcut. My first idea was to use FSUIPC but I couldn't find anything useful by using FSUIPC logging facillity. Has someone an idea how I could do this? I have attached a small picture to show what I mean. Thanks, Torsten

I had the same problem in the past. Every 30 seconds the FSX stopped for a second or two and resumed.The reason was the auto-save feature of the registered FSUIPC. It was turned on (good idea) and set to an intervall to 30 seconds (bad idea).Check for this.Regards,Torsten

Hi,Do not forget to think about an SSD hard disk. It's expensive, yes, but the overall loading time will be reduced dramatically because of the speed.In the past I had the same problem with "grey" buildings, but now it doesn't happen so often (or in case it happens, it took less then a second to load the textures).Regards,Torsten

Hi Oliver,Check this Link http://forum.avsim.n..._1#entry1975119It's called "smooth winds" on the weather tab (just works with registered FSUIPC version).Regards

Hi Sander,I have extracted all the CAB files from the installation DVDs of FSX and searched for the spotlight.bmp.Read the following article from M$:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/129605/en-usAfter I found the file I just copied it to my FSX installation (use the search in Windows to find the file). It was somewhere below FSX/Textures I think.If you are using xgraphics, I found (later) an easier way --> http://forum.avsim.n...-and-pmdg-md11/See the reply from jordanal.Regards,Torsten

Ah, ok.I try that. Thanks for the hint.Regards,Torsten

Hello,I like the JS41 but I'm still searching for a shortcut for the taxi lights and for V/S inc/dec.I tried the taxi light shortcut for TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS (defined in Standard.xml) but it doesn't work.I also couldn't find one for increasing/decreasing V/S.Maybe someone has a hint (I know there were a lot of questions about shortcuts in the past but none of them gave me a clue).Many thanks.Torsten

Hi Dan,That was the hint I was searching for. I had to crawl through all the FSX install CABs and replaced the installed one.Now I can see the rabbits in front of my plane again ;-)Many thanks for your help.Regards,Torsten
