What a way to discover a little error. Who would ever have noticed this? Thank you Roy for sharing this and Dan, for the "dead leg dead engine" lesson. I don't think many of us "armchair pilots" know about this method.

Vernon Did a test flight with the NGX at payware LPPT airport (Aerosoft), ILS rwy03 and the MCP shows 026, same as FMC. I have AIRAC 1501 with magvar.bgl of 2010 from http://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids.html Then, same here, what else can I say? It makes no sense why your MCP shows 025.

Very nice scenery indeed, considering it's free. And do not forget the freeware FSX scenery from Max Kraus, Mauritius FIMP, Gantly Adams TBPB, Gold Coat YBCG and Paphos LCPH. All available at Avsim's library.

Ron, that is not my username and has never been. I still have had no response to e-mails send to [email protected] to be able to login at the support forum and get help with issues I have.

I am having a similar issue there. Unable to login at their forum. An error message says my username is inactive and I should contact a board administrator. Send 2 e-mails to support and also no reply yet.

Ron, scenery for FAOR and FALE here: https://shop.nmgtrading.com/. Not in the same class as Fly Tampa, FSDreamteam, Aerosoft but it's the best available I know of. At least the afcads are correct.

Ron, we all "suffer" these airport name changes. As Kyle has said, you have to update your sim by installing new scenery for FALE, King Shaka Intl. that will be added to FSX. FADN can not be deleted in FSX. We just "abandon" it. There will be no reference to it in the new AIRAIC procedure files. The same applies to Johannesburg Intl, FAJS that became OR Tambo Intl, FAOR. You have to install new scenery that will add a new FAOR airport where FAJS is. Again FAJS can not be deleted in FSX. You will still see the reference to it in FSX. After you have installed the scenery in FSX, run FSCommander's FSCDbManager to update it's airport database. You will then see all airports as it's in your sim and the applicable procures as per AIRAC will match.

You can add "patchsim1friction=Yes" (without inverted commas) in your fsuipc.ini file, under the "General" section. It's working for me.

I thought I was the only one a bit disappointed in GSX's pushback. For me the pushback itself and the time it takes is fine and seems realistic enough. It's the time after the "set parking brake", you have sit and wait for the wing walker's "dance", who then climbs onto the towtruck which then sometimes cannot make up it's mind where to go and get out of the way, that's frustrating. Until now I have taxied over many of GSX's towtrucks taking to long to get out of the way, screaming "set parking brakes immediately!" behind me. :P FS2Crew's announcement is thus good news to me.

Yes, I too enjoy the many public holidays we have here, it's just those working days between them that's troublesome.

Keep in mind we don't know what week Robert was pointing to when he said "this week". It could be any week. We just, as usual, have to be patient. Well, I have a 777 on the apron waiting, have to go.

I think this hug is long overdue, now may I ask when will it be released?

Yes, agree. You all should be glad Kyle didn't see this. He will give it to you all for not reading the manual first! :rolleyes:

Thank you, Ryan, this is good news!

This is a bit off topic, but I had a similar expierience with the PMDG 777 wandering off course in LNAV and thought it was just a little random bug that might be fixed in SP1. Now I understand how well PMDG similated the real one. I can now live with this "bug", knowing it's in the real 777 too. :rolleyes:
