    perhaps I misunderstood you when you said "it is not capturing NAV consistently". to follow a flight plan, autopilot needs to be in NAV mode and GPS show CDI. only when you begin your VOR/ILS approach you would switch the GPS to VLOC mode, by pressing the CDI button.

    That's what I normally do. I'm just wondering if there is something else going on since the lights on the AP don't work when you click on the switches. It's all very odd.

    Thanks turbo, no I was in GPS not VLOC mode. That's what I use for all the other aircraft that have the PMS GTN 750 and it works fine there.

    Hey everyone,

     

    I'm really enjoying this aircraft but am having trouble with the Autopilot. I have the PMS GTN750 (paid version) installed, the Autopilot Master and other avionics is on, CDI to GPS but it's not capturing NAV consistantly. Added to that the Nav and Hdg lights on the AP panel never illuminate. The aircraft will follow a Heading but only sometimes the flight plan in Nav mode. It's frustrating as it makes it less realistic./

     

    Apologies if this has already been asked (I did do a search) and I'd really appreciate any advice.

     

    Cheers

    G’day all,

    I hope I can get some advice from more experienced folk here. I’ve been an avid flight simmer (P3D and now MSFS) for some years but am only now getting into helicopters.

    I’ve order a VIRPIL collective and am waiting on that and am using an old Saitek X52 Flight Control stick for the cyclic. I’ve found it very difficult to control and I go from a reasonably steady flight to wildly unstable with what I feel is reasonable inputs.

    This could be just me or maybe I need to get a new joystick/cyclic. I’m reluctant to spend the massive dollars on another VIRPIL product just yet and wonder if you guys have any recommendations.

    Many thanks

    Interesting experience just then, I picked the aircraft, loaded the flight (ex Little NavMap), MSFS refused to allow me to select a Gate or Ramp so I was resigned to trying a couple of goes like people have above but it put me Cold and Dark where I wanted to be, even though the departure Runway was showing on the selection screen.

     

    I guess it's good to have work arounds but we shouldn't need it for something as basic as this. Grrr.

    Hi all,

     

    I just bought the new Just Flight 146 Professional for MSFS (d/l from Marketplace) and am having some problems.

     

    The issue is that my primary flight controls aren't responding in the aircraft. They work just fine in all the other aircraft I have but on the 146 there is no response (either on the yoke or external surfaces) when I move the pedals/control yoke. Strangely the toe brakes work and move the rudder pedals appropriately.

     

    This is the same problem if I start Cold and Dark or Ready for TO, regardless of the model of the 146.

     

    Help!

    This is driving me batty. I've not got the \xxxx\work\ directory at all under my PMDG-737 in the Community Folder.

     

    The Placeholder.text file is in \pmdg-aircraft-737\config\flightplans but any Flight Plans I put there can't be found by the aircraft.

     

    Selecting the Flt Plan Request soft key shows no entries at all. What the heck am I doing wrong?

    Hi everyone,

     

    I'm enjoying flying this amazing aircraft but have noticed that I get very little authority on the rudder at low (ie: below 300 KIAS) speed. The rudder pedals move ok but there is no animation on the rudder surface itself (ever). Wing structures work just fine in animation and flight control. Has anyone else noticed this?

     

    Cheers

    Hey guys, thanks for all the help.

     

    I changed the web port to 6020 and that seems to have done the trick for everything except the Twin Otter for some reason. Will have to look elsewhere for a fix for that. Really appreciate the assistance.

     

    Cheers

    G'day everyone,

     

    I just bought Axis and Ohs to use some of the amazing Stream Deck profiles on flightsim.to

     

    Problem is I can't get any of them to actually work and I hope someone can help. The A&O Interface shows it's connected to the SIm and has the correct aircraft, I've enabled the Web API (9080) and all the buttons on the Stream Deck are displaying correctly.

     

    I've tried a couple of profiles (Twin Otter and GTN 750) and nothing happens when I press the buttons on the SD.

     

    Is there something I'm missing perhaps?

     

    Many thanks

    G'day everyone,

     

    Just toying with some ideas here to consider if it's worthwhile (or even possible) to have a second PC to run Flight Sim generally. I'm still on P3D for the PMDG aircraft but all the rest is now on MSFS.

     

    Over the last year or so I've added so many external USB devices that my relatively new PC struggles to see them all. I often have to unplug/replug rudder pedals or the mouse after Windows has started to get it to recognise all the peripherals. I realise that this problem is down to me and my love of extra bits and pieces, but even with two powered USB hubs my PC is close to freaking out.

     

    Has anyone run dual systems and how would that work sharing hardware (monitors, graphics etc) and peripheral control software like SPAD.NEXT?

     

    I can't be the only one in this position. Can I?

     

    Cheers

    G'day everyone,

     

    I've had custom camera views setup for ages so that, for example, I can switch to looking at an overhead panel by pressing "8" on the numpad.

     

    Since the last update pressing the keyboard presets causes the view to start to change, then snap back to where it was. This can happen several times before it "gives up" and lets me see what I want to see. Very frustrating and I wonder if anyone else has had the issue?

     

    Cheers
