Interesting non reply to this post

I saw that you updated your post about the Fenix A320. Delta pilot friend of mine says Delta does not use the new Airbus procedures. I assume no way to use old procedures with the Fenix.

If I am wrong about this, please let me know.

Seems like the Fs2crew offerings for Fenix’s A320 and PMDG’s 737-800 are based on European procedures. I know I read that 737-800 SOP 2 is based on Ryanair. To be fair I did read that USA carriers were more like SOP 1.

I do have a friend who is Delta pilot and when I asked him about the new Airbus procedures. Assuming he understood my question, he said that Delta had not implemented them.

Anyway seems like it would be nice to have some US based procedure sets.

When I attended FlightSimExpo 2023 I was surprised how many of the vendors were from Europe. Is flight simming a bigger deal in Europe?

Thanks ahead for any responses and or corrections.

Well you go Sir,

I did what you described and found out that the co-pilot was listening in on the Oculus Rift microphone. All is well now.

OK, second time to see if anyone knows what is going on. I have the FSLABS A320 sitting at KATL on ground power as I read and try to figure out MCE. As I am sitting there, with the microphone OFF, the co-pilot starts rambling away. Several minutes of silence then she says "Slats Retracted" about 7 times in a row, then she says "Slats Extended". Wait a bit and she says some flaps command, can't understand what she is saying other than the word "Flaps". She repeats that about 7 times over a short period of time. Shortly after that she says. "Channel to Managed Mode", twice. Then it sounds like she said she had a bad night. 

Anyway you get the drift. The program is unusable to me if the co-pilot starts making random settings. I know there are many people that rave about this program and I hope I am one of them, f someone can just tell me how to stop this issue.

 

Thanks

thanks will give it a try. although it sounds as if the co-pilot is doing stuff

At times when I start MCE all is fine the Co pilot just listen and respond. At other times the Co Pilot just starts rambling on, performing actions or just talking.

Anyone know why this is?  

looks like someone in the Prepar3d forum stated that Prepar3d was running as a background task. Sure enough that was it. Although I do not know how it started as a background task.

Prepar3d Scenario has white screen on vehicle selection. I can select a plane but the block where the planes picture show, remains all white. If I select an aircraft, airport, weather all loads but ends  up in a totally black screen. I just installed Prepar3d v4 today. Installed ORBX scenery, Chase Plane and A2A C-172.

Uninstalled C-172 to see if that made difference, no luck.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this. I downloaded the program from the website yesterday, April 11, 2015 and tried to install the program in Prepar3d several times. Each time the install failed with the following error, VAPanelSelect has stopped working. The last time i watched the install process closely. I watch the install the last couple of times and the program went through setting up index, then proceeded to Processing facility data. The blue progress bar moved smartly across the screen essentially filling up the entire bar, but when the falling was visible in the files section, "g:\lockheed martin\prepar3d v2\orbx\ftx_olc\olc_eu4\scenery\VersOBX.BGL" the program seemed to hang up. It remained motionless for approximately 3 minutes, then processed a few seconds more of facility data, closed that screen then I got the APanelSelect has stopped working message.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I just flew KSFO to KSAN and as the aircraft was climbing to TOC, 35,000 feet, about 2000 feet short of TOC, the aircraft started to descend, speed picked up until it entered the overspend zone but all lights indication for the aircraft were normal. Autopilot and author title on, VNAV LNAV on. I do not know what is happening. I cannot use autopilot to go to any destination.

HI thanks for any assistance.

 

I am using the latest Navigraph data 1311 I believe.

I used FSBuild to get the flight path off of a web planner tab

I input that data into Aivilasoft EFB to pick SID and STAR

 

This is my nominal way of doing business

The KPHX to KDEN route only has one waypoint so I entered it all by hand

About three fourths of the way there the aircraft ignored a turn to a new waypoint.

 

Yesterday I tried KSFO to KSAn a route that I have tried many times with no problem, this time the plane took off and VNAV went way, auto throttle was off, never could get ti back onto normal autopilot.

 

Before I switched to a faster computer I never had a problem with the PMDG 737 NGX autopilot but now after switching I have developed these problems. I have chosen the option to repair the 737 NGX installation have not reinstalled it. 

Well I did my reinstall and still have the same problem. I have flown KPHX to KDEN several times and somewhere along the route cruising at 29,000 feet the autopilot will get to a way point and just keep on trucking in the same direction rather than turn toward the new waypoint. The autopilot does not disengage, no warning lights etc. I go out of autopilot and steer the plane back into the direction of the next waypoint and then go back to autopilot and the autopilot always turns back away from the right direction. I am a loss as to what to do.

I hope someone answers. I too have reinstalled the PMDG 737 NGX on another computer and the autopilot will just keep flying past a way point. The autopilot does not disengaged just does follow the FMC programmed route.

I know what you are saying, but...... I got so much time invested and I just love the sim when it works.

Hello, hope someone can help,

 

I setup EZDOk on my PMDG 737 NGX quite a bit ago with no major problems. Recently I have noticed that when I use the keyboard to switch between cockpit views, I use the A and S keys, before the next cockpit view I get a brief flash of an aircraft view.

 

If I use the EZDOK studio to shift views this does not happen.

 

If I use the Keyboard shortcut for each view this does not happen

 

If I use the S and A keys the above described flash occurs

 

Thanks for any help.

I have began to get the continual FSX crashes to desktop errors. I was getting these errors occasionally over the last several months but now I can not fly any free flight without a crash to desktop at some point. I just recently installed Version 2.3 of FS2Crew. If I load the PMDG 737 NGX  for tutorial #1, a flight I have done numerous times before, FSX will crash to the desktop somewhere between during the initial loading of the flight to as late as setting up the FMC per the tutorial. I checked and FSX crashes to the desktop when flying from Seattle to Portland with the Microsoft B737.
