[....]The data will be there. You just can't see it on an AS screen. HiFi worked on this many moons ago and they are still working : below a copy of my HiFi-ticket related to "Wind aloft at very high altitude" : Posted on: 27 March 2013 10:56 AM "Hi, I'm currently using a registered version (4.86) of FSUIPC with AS2012 SP2. Flying with Concorde_X (FSLabs) at M2.02 and FL 580 with a targeted FL600, AS temps are available (-72°C = delta ISA -15) and AS winds are also available but with a null speed 344/0 kts ? Is that due to the max FL490 available in AS ? I've got an active FPL FAOR-FMEE currently running within AS with FL600 as my planned altitude. Thanks for taking into consideration. Best regards" their answer : Posted on: 29 March 2013 07:22 PM "Hi Jean, We are aware of an issue with FSUIPC and the "Wind Smoothing" option which prevents winds from being depicted above FL520. Peter Dowson (FSUIPC Author) has been made aware of this but he is on vacation at the moment. We hope to have him look at this very soon. Damian Clark HiFi Technologies, Inc. Thanks Damian. Just hope Peter Dowson will fix the issue asap.

Hi, With AS2012, how can I get real winds and temps at FL 550 or 600 ? those FLs were typical for Concorde at the time she was flying. As the maximum FL seems to be 490, is there a way to extrapolate current wind and temp at FL490 to get them available at FL600 ? Do I need to import into AS2012 my Concorde FPL with a targeted FL=600, to get that kind of data ? Thanks

Sorry, but with all the different S-Packs that have been released, I do not remember about the 737-8900 and 737-6700 installation sequence (I'm not talking about re-installation) am I correct if I proceed with the following sequence for the 737-8900 (that excludes SP1 + SP1b) : 1) PMDG 737 8900 NGX RTM.exe 2) PMDG 737 8900 NGX SP1c.exe same thing for the 737-6700 : 1) PMDG 737 6700 NGX RTM.exe 2) PMDG 737 6700 NGX SP1c Update.exe just want to make sure Merci

The previous related topic is now rather aged, so I re-open it for the following reason : 1) the Duke Turbine Sound package files v1.2 works pretty fine with FSX, thanks to JB the dev ; 2) I just made the Duke Turbine migration to Prepar3D, and it went pretty fine ; 3) I tried to re-install the Sound package v1.2 as per the readme and the illustration.jpg provided with the sound package v1.2. I'm 99% sure I did the whole process the right way, including the 2 lines added after the last gauge entry in the [VCockpit01] section of the panel.cfg located : Lockheed Martin/Prepar3D/SimObjects/Airplanes/RealAir Duke Turbine/panel gauge25=DUKE_Cockpit_sounds!Sound, 2,2,2,2,./sound/DUKE_TURB_Cockpit/DUKE_TURB_sound.ini gauge26=DukeT_Cockpit_Sounds!DUKE_TURB_SoundManager, 3,3,3,3 but there is no sounds from the v1.2 package. The Turbine Duke other sounds are OK. Has anyone of you tried the same migration and sound package v1.2 installation to Prepar3D ? Could it be related to a wrong path in the gauge 25 & 26 descriptions above ? Merci d'avance

+1 yes, think about it ! that would be great

i can't remember if there is (or not) a transparency setting somewhere for the 2D panels ? that's not really a big deal but all my 2D panels are now much more transparent than before. Any explanation ?

"flap_motor=0, 5, 12 //default 4,5,12 gear_motor=0, 5, 12 //default 4,5,12" good to know and far better this way ! grazie mille my friend

Are gear & flaps hydraulic systems driven with left engine only ? Did you notice when L engine is shut down gear&flaps are both inop ? Have a try with only R engine shut down and you should notice they are both available. Good to know....

Just a few remarks about this great "Turbine Duke" addon : - while flying a stabilized cruise at FL200, the elevator trim indicator tooltip reads -19° ???? and the corresponding white triangle is located between 0° and -5° ?? - what should be the L or R correct genarator load at startup ? (mine read 15 instead of 0.5 max according to the c/l) and during flight (mine read 32.5) ? - the stopwatch provided on the control wheel is fine but there is no way to use it as a real stopwatch ???

"... this should be they way it is done in real-life........" Thanks very much Andrea page 15 of Yoda's tuto : " You shouldn't leave the pitot heat, fuel vent heat, or windshield heat on while on the ground, since you may burn out the heating elements " the problem is that pitot heat, fuel vent heat, or windshield heat are never switched to ON at any time ??? Just something missing in the "Before Take-Off" c/l you should be aware of

from the Kurt Yoda's tuto I can read both the fuel boost-pumps switches are ON from "Before engine starting" c/l until "Shutdown and securing" c/l can anyone confirm this is correct ?

Have a look on http://forum.avsim.net/topic/372742-manual-start-proc/ where ground manual-start and in-flight relight are covered/decribed step by step

Would it be possible to add instruments magnifiers to allow big zooms on ADIs + HSIs + engines panel, just like the ones provided with the NGX that are of great help ? For those of us not owning Track IR, that would be great, cause those instruments, while depicted at their correct sizes I guess, are rather small.

thanks Stefan ! just tried and it worked fine. Caution : before all, make sure the corresponding prop is physically unfeathered. "As for the start in flight I think the Air is turning the Prop so you only have to have it at energize" No,when feathered the prop stops spinning. Before attempting an in-flight manual start, just make sure the corresponding prop is physically unfeathered (and the condition lever is set to the flight position ? to be checked cause I did not try with the cond lever in the taxi position). No need to turn the Start Master switch to the side you want to start (this is to be done on the ground only), just leave it in the AIR position.
