  1. What control panel?? I am thoroughly confused now... Is FSINNpart of FSX or an addon?
  2. Hi and thanks for your reply. Interesting, I'll look into the flap axis, I think you might be onto something there. Can I ask why? I've heard of this FSINN before in relation to TAT issues, what is it and how do I repair it/switch it off? Many Thanks!
  3. Hi all, I am having issues with the NGX (800) after a clean re-install (unrelated). The engines don't seem to produce enough power. I suspect it's a weather related issue however trying to kill ASN and use FSX own real weather doesn't change the results. Almost stalling mid air to manage a climb of about 500fpm. Anybody able to offer suggestions? Thank you in advance!
  4. Hi Peter, thanks for your reply. I think it might be pointless to duplicate this discussion in both forums so I'll keep it on the Majestic one if that's ok
  5. Hi all, I apologise in advance if I have been unsuccessful in searching this forum properly for any similar topics. After two days solid searching forums for a solutions, I'm not even sure what my problem is any more. If there is anything that's been posted previously that is relevant to my problem, I would be extremely grateful if you would point me towards it! I have recently bought this excellent plane however shortly after installation and a few uses I'm having a major problem with the simulation freezing around 80% of the times it's minimised. What seems to happen is that once the sim is reduced to icon, with or without use of the control panel, I'm unable to re-open FSX which will instead continue running in the background and continue playing the aircraft sound. This only happens with the Q400 and it's proving to be a make-or-break deal as I need the reduce to icon functionality to operate the control panel, use my VA ACARS system, consult charts etc. FSX becomes completely unresponsive and the only way out appear to kill the process in the task manager. I am a fairly experienced simmer and have never come across an error I couldn't fix so far (I'm quite comfortable editing files etc.) however it seems I am badly stuck! So far this are the results of my failed troubleshooting: - Q400 version: happens both with PRO 1.018 and PRO 1.018c (after patching) - FSX: deluxe+accelleration pack: tried with both MODDED FSX config (Word Not Allowed's) and vanilla FSX.config - syst: Win7, quad-core, 12gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, everything is run with Admin rights fixes unsuccessfully tried so far: - using ASN or not: doesn't seem to make a difference, tried re-installing ASN too but no change - tried re-installing and updating FSUIPC: no change - tried setting affinity mask on FSX config to various settings (14, 84, 6) with no change (I have hyperthreading enabled and see 8 cores) - tried updating UIAutomationCore to a different version: no change, still happens with both - tried running in windowed mode: no change, still freezes when passing from running to background after a few switches from foreground/background, using the control panel seems to make it worse as does starting ASN. As a result of this I suspected a SimConnect issue however I cannot resolve this - tried running appcrash view and reading through the simconnect log but FOUND nothing (there's about a gazillion identical lines in the log report and could well have missed something) - tried re-installing the Q400: no change - tried every fix I could find on both the Majestic and Avsim forum: no change I am at my wits end, I cannot wait to be able to fly this gorgeous sim however at present state it's simply unusable. Has anybody experienced anything similar and is able to offer some help? I would be unbelievably grateful as my frustration level is somewhat off the charts at the minute! Thank you all for the time!

  6. Ha thanks for your reply. It's a fancy of mine landing at that a/p! No claim to be realistic. I'll try it following your recommendation, which I should have done the first time, and let you know-how it goes Cheers Matteo
  7. Hi all, I'm struggling at the minute on the correct technique/profile do adopt in the case of a steep final approach (I'm specifically trying to land the 736 on the IGS approach to rwy27 at LIMW, but this question is relevant to all steep approaches really). Is somebody able to point me towards the correct technique/profile to adopt to control the energy state of the aircraft e.g. when to extend the gear, deploy speedbrakes, flap settings and when, early configuration and speed reduction Vs "dumping everything out at the last minute". I reckon it essentially boils down to the question is "it easier to reduce speed in a clean or dirty config"? Thank you! Matteo
  8. THANK YOU Kyle I was seriously scratching my head there. ..
  9. Awesome! I knew I could count on you Kyle for this one! Thanks so much, programming it as I type (well ish...). BTW I watched the "Children of the magenta line" video while I was at it and that's absolutely brilliant! Cheers, Matteo
  10. Yeah, this has got "weather program" plastered all over it! What's the OAT? try a flight without using any weather addon and just use FSX native weather and see if the problem reoccurs. After that you can start troubleshooting. This is what I would do at least...
  11. Yes, you can buy it on the FS2Crew site or download one from the Avsim library. Otherwise no, I wouldn't imagine you can.
  12. Hi all, I was just wondering what the correct procedure for disengaging A/P and A/T on final is? I currently use the disengage bar on the MCP and the A/T switch which I realize is not correct and results in the A/P-A/T alarm annoyingly going off while landing. Can anybody suggest the correct procedure for this, especially if there's one that won't have me take my hands off the controls? Cheers, Matteo
  13. Hello! Hem, yeah! That would probably be because you're using the"SPD INTV" button that does just that, tells your automation to disregard your speed constraint! Hello! Hem, yeah!

  14. Hello! What was the state of flight? What did you program in the fms? Any unplanned descent/offset? Situation? That would help, on vnav not staying connected it usually comes down to something being wrong with the route planning/state of flight not matching what the fms "thinks". In this cases also don't be afraid to revert to a lower state of automation. If it's not working it usually is because the wrong information has been given to your tools. .. Hello!

  15. Hello everybody, while in the initial climb today I reached my set altitude on the MCP then dipped below it (~500ft) and then climber again. The "OFF SCHED DESC" light illuminated on the air con panel and an amber warning with the text AIR CON illuminated on the MCP. The cabin pressure is controllable but I cannot find the way to reset the warning even after consulting the QRH. Any advice? Also my left autopilot has stopped working even though the right is operative. Could this be related? The only doubt I've got is that this was the second sector and I didn't reset the flight so could it be a bug? Thank you Ok the lx A/P failure is my first service/random failure. Going through the QRH now. I was able to clear the off sched desc via the FS2Crew emergency checklist but it's still not clear what is the procedure.
  16. I agree too, with Kyle tho. The thing looks awful! (This applies to both the EMB series and the A380)
  17. Following tutorial1 would be a good start. Posting a picture of the issue even better! Ps you need to sign with full name as per forum rules regards
  18. Thank you for your very informative answers and the interesting discussion! Now the question is, how do I apply this to fsx? Using let's say AS2012, are the breaking coefficients actually modelled? Are those tables going to give me realistic data for my simulation and the planning of landing distances? Thanks
  19. Hi all! Apologies for posting am issues similar to my previous one but since nobody picked that up I thought I'd go for a more general question,so here it is. when using the landing distance tables on the FCOM which and how do you pick the relevant breaking action? Regards
  20. Hi all, I was consulting the tables relative to the landing distances on the PMDG NGX FCOM. My question is, does FSX and/or the NGX actually model different braking coefficients so as to actually have a use for the different braking action tables and LDs? Thank you!
  21. I would have thought us virtual pilots the only ones to encounter this problem but according to this it is not the case, real life pilots need to check behind their shoulders too and be careful to unlock those latches http://avherald.com/h?article=46ae0ddc&opt=0
  22. Happy Birthday Ryan! Thank you for all the good work and enjoy! You deserve your time off and 100 more!
  23. Stephen! Thank you so much! It was precisely that! I knew there shouldn't have been the need to have an external program and starting messing about with fsx's config! Worked like a charm, "I" key. what the hell is that light anyway? Regards and many thanks again!
  24. Hi Brian! Thank you for the reply. All the crew basically stopped talking. They'd still carry out their duties (from what I could tell) but I couldn't hear their voices. Initially I thought it could be a problem with the CFG panel and the fact that I unplugged and plugged back my headphones, but when it was not solved I just reinstalled both the NGX and emergency versions and it solved it. Weird. Happy it's gone! Thank you!
  25. Yup double checked both captain and fo positions and they're off. Could it be anything to do with the livery? It's so puzzling. Thanks anyway!
