Andy, Installed the TSS sound pack last night and I really like it. Very nice.Thanks for your help. I added the below 2 entries to the sound.cfg file, as you suggested, but why is filename=nosmoking associated with the seatbelts entry? Thought it would have been filename=seatbelts. Can you explain what these 2 entries actually do? Thanks, Al [NO_SMOKING_ALERT] filename=nosmoking [sEATBELTS_ALERT] filename=nosmoking

Thanks Andy. Great of you to provide these details. Definitely plan to get the TSS sound pack and try it out. Al

I would like to try the King Air TSS sound pack but I read the following in a review: "Be wary of installing to some of the more well known payware products as they often have custom sound sets themselves and may not work correctly if this utility is used. Most freeware aircraft would ideally suit this product. One important point to note is the installer will only find aircraft in the default folder and that has a sound folder so AI aircraft are excluded from the 3rd party automated installation" Would really like to know if anyone has used it in the B200 King Air before purchasing it? Thanks.

Thanks Andy. This takeoff procedure works great for me.

Would also be interested.

Thanks Andy for your suggestions. I did check my calibration. Appeared to be OK. As it turned out, I was not setting the throttle detent properly in FSUIPC. It has been such a long time since I had last did this. Now that I calibrated it correctly, It appears to be working well now. Thanks again, Al

I am having some issues with the CH Products FltSim Throttle Quadrant and the B200, specifically the throttles. It seems that there is no response to increase the torque until the throttle handles are more than half way forward. Also the slightest change in the throttle handles makes such a large change in the torque. I have set it up using FSUIPC to define the various limits, reverse, idle and full throttle. I have never had such a problem like this with any other FSX plane. Any one experience similar issues? Any suggestions to make it work more smoothly and uniformly throughout the entire throttle range? Thanks, Al

Thanks for the info Jim.

Thanks Bert, Just wanted to report back that the "D" key works great to get me back on a dead on track with the GPS. Al

Last night, took the same flight I mentioned above and the B200 autopilot/GNS 530 was almost dead on the course line. Did not do anything differently. Plan to try some different flights today and see the results. Al

Some really nice stuff in the works. Look forward to seeing their final products. Al

Sorry Wu. Read things too quickly. Presently, I do not have the C90B. I assume then you also have observed the "off course" GPS navigation that I noted above with the B200. Al

Hi Bert, I did not actually fit the STEC autopilot into the main cockpit panel. Your right, need a master tweaker to do that. I just edited it into the panel.cfg and brought it up as as 2D popup gauge to test it. Curious, have you also observed what I noted above that the B200 autopilot does not precisely tract the GPS course? Thanks, Al

Thanks. One other simple check is the flashing red lights on the left fuel panel on start up. Before they were not flashing. Now they are.

Hi Jim, Well then I guess it must be a problem with the Caranedo King Air. I went ahead and installed the RXP FLN autopilot system in the King Air and flew the same flight. It almost flew the course dead on, very slightly off but not the same as when using the King Air Autopilot system. So I can only imagine that it must be a bug with the King Air autopilot system. Would love to see it fixed. Al
