Actually what I found out, while doing some research, the airports I was talking about do not have either an IATA or ICOA code. They have FAA codes here in the US. It makes it virtually impossible to try to simply edit. I tried with one airport to change it to a 4 letter/digit code and it didn't work.

I just thought I would ask, but, being FAA codes there isn't an international code to use. It would take a major update/re-write on your part for only one person whom has mention it.

I appreciate the education you helped provide in researching this.

PS...I still enjoy using your program. It is great.

Thanks,

Dana

Thanks for the reply Nico.

I forgot to mention, I'm using P3Dv5.4 though I don't believe the flightsim type is a factor in this. I understand ICAO codes are always 4 digits however there are many smaller airports, at least here in the US, which only offer 3 digits. I will do some research and see if they have 4 digit codes in the internet articles.

Most of my ORBX scenery under True Earth has updated airports for which parking spots have been added to the default airports which do not have parking spots at them. I use AivlaSoft to verify whether an airport has parking spots available.

As I stated in my last post, RealWeather adds a K to the airport, but, ORBX does not. I believe since ORBX uses the 3 digit code when it installs the airports it is a local problem that I need to find a workaround for. I was more looking to see if you knew of one.

I really enjoy your program. It has brought much more realism with live traffic in the sim. It took me a while to get everything working but since I have it has been an excellent add-on. I appreciate your work and dedication to this program.

Hi Nico,

I have many Orbx which do not have the standard K identifier. Eg. Big Bear airport L35. If I am at one of these smaller airports I get "User Aircraft on ground, no airport in sight". Also, if I try to put an airport with out a K identifier in the Learn Airport box and hit ENTER it says Unknown Airport. RealTraffic shows these airports with a K identifier, KL35, but even that is not recognized by PSXT.

However, if I put in an airport such as 99CL PSXT will find it.

I understand PSXT requires a 4 digit identifier (using ICAO format) however even using the K as RealTraffic (and some of my flight planning software) they still will not show up as airports in sight in PSXT.

Is there something I'm not doing or understanding for this to work? If PXTseecon is still used I can't find it anywhere to try to generate the <airport>.xml file.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dana

Hi Nico,

I've made it a little closer. I understand you cannot solve problems not directly associated with your programming. I am still working on getting the liveries to be read and have made some headway.

Hi Kiek,

I actually run P3Dv5.3.

I've been away for a bit but here is my log file from the last time I used it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Dana

"15. I get “error 81”? You probably forgot to activate your (newly installed) AI aircraft in your Simulator."

I get what the FAQ is talking about but not exactly sure how to activate them, nor, even where to place them.

Dana

I fly all my flights at real time as my VA does not allow accelerated flights. And, no, it does not bother me. I think it makes it more realistic to have to fly in real-time.

As for the original topic of this thread...I have been using FS2Crew for the iFly 737NGX for about a year and now, tonight is my first flight btw, with the PMDG 777-200LR.

After using FS2Crew for the last year, I had to get it immediately for the 777. I really enjoy flying with the "Crew".

The only problem I had in the beginning was my FO would put down the landing gear...at speed, at altitude...if he even thought he heard "gear down". When I complained about it, a fix was immediately made available to me. This made me believe whole-heartedly in the support team of FS2Crew!!!

It is truly a great line of products and support team.

Dana

I started my flight today and left the start switches in Auto and when I told my co-pilot the were in auto, he continued on. I will leave my switches in Auto for T/O and Landing now.

I would appreciate it if you could tighten up the gear down command in future updates. That would be very helpful. Any plans on actually tying in the weather radar now that iFly has implemented it into the system. Not sure what needs adjusted on it, just curious.

Again, thank you for your attention and quick replies. It is highly appreciated.

Dana Wiles

There is an Auto Position on the starter switches which is where it defaults to after engine start, however there is a continuous position just like the -900, I use it on every flight. I do not fly the BBJ version and cannot comment on whether the BBJ has a Continuous position or not, but I know the -800 does. However, this is a minor issue, I can turn a couple of knobs and is not a problem, just thought I would bring it up while I was writing about my main issue.

Back to my main issue. I have had the co-pilot put down the landing gear numerous times (the last three on VAFS which charges for gear damage) while "descent" is clearly displayed on the FS2Crew panel and we have not completed any procedures for descent. The aircraft was in level flight, miles away from TOD. Besides that, from speaking to "real world" pilots, the descent check list should be performed near or shortly after the TOD which places FS2Crew's co-pilot into Approach mode while speed is still well above gear extension speed. These pilots also say that the Approach checklist is usually performed at or near 10,000 feet, which is when the aircrafts speed is under the 250 knot speed for gear extension damage. But, again, I have had the co-pilot extend the landing gear while in level flight, Descent showing on the FS2Crew panel on a number of occasions and having it triggered during descent while Approach is showing is still too early because of the descent speed between TOD and 10,000. Again, I am only doing what "real world" pilots have told me when the checklists should be performed.

I do appreciate your quick response to my inquiry.

Dana Wiles

I am wondering why the co-pilot even listens for "gear down" while in cruise or initial descent. I have had many times when I said to do something and he says "you might want to double check that" but, If I even mutter something that resembles "Gh" he says "Gear Down". Yes I have trained my Windows Speech completely and it is not a problem with him understanding what I say. What First Officer would put the gear down in cruise flight? Shouldn't he not listen for this command only during the landing portion of the flight? It is very upsetting to take a hit on VAFS because your co-pilot is a moron.

Yes I use the soft mute key and the hard mute while in cruise flight, but when talking to ATC during your vectors to final, when you need your co-pilot working with you, he should not be listening for "gear down" until a certain portion of the descent, primarily once you reach the landing portion of the flight.

Gear are not speed brakes, so he should not put them down as if the are.

Becoming very disappointed with what could be a great product if it used a little more AI.

I have also noticed other little problems too. One, in the 737-900 he will switch the engine start switches to continuous during before taxi procedures, (after flaps set) but not on the 737-800. Why?
