Not sure why you'd want to do that...but no...

Ah, too bad. I didn't read that as I had no interest in the VC version. Good Luck with new liveries!

Hey Joe, I haven't D/L'd the VC version but I can't see why livery installation should be any different than on the original. I'd think that the same process you used to install them in the first place will allow them all to work, would it not?

Looks like the short answer is, "no". As per the Read Me in the download, the model list is; CHK, CNK, PNK, PHK and PGK. That's Cargo Hush Kit, Cargo No Kit, Passenger No Kit, Passenger Hush Kit and Passenger Gravel Kit.

I'm glad it all worked out for you. The SP-77 is definitely the way to fly this airplane. It incorporates a unique A/P system known as CWS (Control Wheel Steering) which, when the autopilot is engaged allows you to adjust rate of climb and heading through pressure on the yoke. In order to change rate of climb or descent, just apply slight pressure on the yoke to achieve the desired rate then release the pressure and the A/P will hold the new rate. In this way, you can climb (or descend) to your desired altitude without having to disengage and reengage the elevator paddle of the A/P. Enjoy the TM!

Which version of the autopilot are you using? My understanding of the systems from previous discussions is that you need the registered copy of FSUIPC for basically everything to work correctly. Maybe look after that first then see where you're at.

I don't know then...it works for me. I use the 16.9 SP-77 CIVA panel but just switched it out for the 16.9 SP-177 ISG (which add-on I don't have) panel and everything works fine. There are blank spots where the CIVA display and controller should be and the Honeywell GNS-XLS FMS window does nothing when selected as it's not there, but all else is normal........ Sounds to me like you've got some other issue at work there.

OK I see what you mean. Just use either of the SP-177 files and don't install the CIVA or ISG. The panel config files just make accommodation for those add-ons but it doesn't mean you have to use them. The panel config will still work with blank spots where the .cfg would place the INS/FMC if they were installed.

All you need to do is download V1.40 update and follow the 'read me' instructions. It's very straightforward.

Glad to hear you figured it out, Trevor! The Tinouse has never done that to me, but I have seen a transient issue with that before with a B722 in which, coincidentally enough, I was using a Richard Probst panel. Whatever...as long as you've figured it out. Keep the dirty side down! Rob

I guess strange things happen sometimes.......I actually have V1.40 installed on three different computers and none of them exhibit the behaviour you're describing..........

I have a bag of time in every version of this airplane from V1.26 to V1.40 and never noticed anything like this. However I do normally engage the autopilot anytime between the end of the flap retraction cycle and 10,000' depending on circumstances (as is usual basic RW SOP), so thought I'd try it out under the conditions mentioned above. I took off from CYYC (3500 ASL), trimmed the airplane for a normal climb on runway heading and it basically flew itself hands off through FL220 dead straight with no drift of any sort. The only time I even touched a control was to adjust pitch trim. Maybe try reloading the airplane to get rid of whatever FD changes you've made and go back to the stock config as the issue doesn't exist in my sim......... Rob Wilkinson CYYC

Thanks very much Bob, that does it. Sorry I missed that topic when I was looking for help. Cheers, Rob Wilkinson

Having upgrading to V1.40 with a new computer and widescreen (16x9), I just noticed that the red gear intransit lights in the Christmas tree stay illuminated after gear retraction. I've checked the forum and re-read the docs and fixes...just wondering if I missed something obvious? I have had some unexplainable FSX things to deal with in the past, so if it's just one of those, I'll just cover up the tree with the radio panel like usual...which is why I didn't notice the issue right away. Thanks very much, Bob for this wonderful airplane! I've been through V1.26, 1.32 with FSX and now 1.40 and it's been a real treat to fly over the past 500-ish hours! Cheers!

I looked at that initially as well but the engines are running (can't explain the EGT gauges not registering though...) and the engine generators are online...30A on 1, 40A on 2. There has to be something else funky going on.Rob Wilkinson
