Hey all hope everyone is enjoying the FSW C414 as much as I am. I noticed this evening after I downloaded version 3.3.3.that when I request flight following I tell ATC I am type...nothing lol. Is there a way we can edit the aircraft.cfg to refer to the 414 as type "Twin Cessna" like the Milviz C310 does? I have tried to mimic the Milviz 310s aircraft.cfg by making the type C310 but it doesn't work. Thanks ahead for any help you can provide.

Hey guys I just checked the Carenado website (where I purchased this Aztec) and they do not have an upgade to the air file, aircraft cfg, or panel cfg. I have some issues and wonder if any of you are getting these as well. Lighting 1. When switching on the landing lights, the nose wheel taxi light illuminates as well (no footprint however on the nose wheel) but there is a footprint on the landing lights. 2. When turning on the taxi light, I get the footprint on the ground but the light itself does not illuminate. 3. The interior lighting for the panel turns on the cabin lighting as well. Once I am cleared to taxi, I prefer to turn off cabin lighting. Shouldn't panel lights be separate from cabin? 4. Clicking the instruments light does nothing. I assumed this should highlight the instruments themselves...backlighting inside the glass perhaps? ATC ID 1. The aircraft.cfg by default shows the ATC_ID as PA23. This will not work as ATC will refer to you as a Piper Apache. I have changed mine to PA27 and now properly refers to my plane as an Aztec. Views 1. When hitting the Shift A key that normally takes you to the legacy 2d cockpit, my mouse starts to flicker between the pointer and the hourglass. Forums mentioned this is an issue with resolution. I confirmed this by bringing it down from 1920X1200 to 1920X1000. That's if for now. Let me know if this jives with you all. More to come as I have only flown this for a week. Sorry if I am being to picky but my "switchology" has to be spot on. Ben

I have no problem with ATC reading back my tail number. However, when I request flight following or ATC is warning another aircraft of my position, they do not refer to my aircraft as a Cirrus or the type as SR22. Anyone got this to work yet?

Hey guys, thanks for getting back to me on this. That's disappointing that we can't get this great effect added to the others. Perhaps in the future we'll all be lucky enough to see a proper footprint patch for all Carenado models. Andy, I purchased A2As shockwave lights about a year ago. They are much better than the stock versions. Haven't put them on this model yet.

Hey all, Have you noticed the footprint of the landing lights and taxi lights for this aircraft. The look doesn't wash out the taxiway or runway, it actually lights it up the correct way. I like this style so much but I can't for the life of me figure out where this code or effect comes from. I would like to add this footprint effect to my other carenado aircraft..(ie A36 and C210). Has anyone played with this yet? If not, have any ideas on where I should start? I know that it isn't located in the [lights] section of the aircraft.cfg as that deals with the source. I thought for sure it would be in the effects section too but have had no luck finding it there. Please help!!!

My buddy and I both purchased this aircraft from Carenado. We've had a long running argument about the RXP 430 and 530s. Maybe you veterans can help us solve this problem. It is my understanding that this 210 package supports RXP but does NOT come with it. He believes that it DOES come with the 210 package and you just need to install it using the configurator (RXP530-CAR430.exe) files. I've tried it and when I do there are black holes where the stock GNS 430 and 530 are supposed to be. Is he pulling my chain or am I doing something wrong?
