Happy Birthday Sir! Please get better - this place just wouldn't be the same without you!

I think I recall the very 1st Victory Aircraft built Lanc was still called a B. Mk. III, but could be wrong on that. I do believe there were discussions about Spitfire production in Canada, but after Castle Bromwich and the other shadow factories got into their stride, the requirement simply wasn't there. The UK production was sufficient to meet the need. The suggestion by your US friend sounds like he's confused the backstory of the Mustang and carried on from there... total speculation of course!

Canada built Hurricanes, Sea Hurricanes, Blenheims, and Lancasters, but no Spits as far as I'm aware.

...and to think I've spent my entire life thinking Chickens can't fly

Hi, I've had the same thing happen to me - but only when flying the Blackbox Airbus series aircraft - and only after loading a previously created flightplan into the MCDU, using the "company route" saved folder. After searching for an answer, I found a comment from BBS stating that the problem centered around some flight plan generators not ending the flightplan properly - the solution was to manually enter the flightplan into the MCDU and then ensuring that you closed off the file properly - but I still have the problem at least 50 % of the time. Again - only time I've seen the default ATC "forget about me" was using the BBS Airbuses... Any chance you're flying Blackbox Airbuses ? Mark

Hi MartinRex007, I can confirm your findings - I managed 202 knots (not MPH) at 9K ft, throttles full open, RPM 2400, mixture leaned to 53%... certainly not 75% power. Wind wasn't a factor at the time Mark

Hi Francisco, Instead of dialing in the altitude you want before activating Alt Hold, dial in the altitude you desire AFTER turning on Alt Hold on. The alt display will read whatever the altitude was when you pressed the button - then use the knobs to dial in the altitude you want to set. Then use the VS dial to set the fpm you want. I don't think Proline 21 systems are supposed to work this way (never really flown one) - but it is the way it's working on this model... My normal routine is to set the autopilot before I take off, but using the C90 GTX I simply set everything up after I've taken off... it works well then! Mark

David, Glad you figured it out. If your doors are rapidly closing, you're probably close to the fuel point. Move to another parking location to start and you should be okay! Mark

Thats odd news... I've had the SIMADDONS CYOW since it was released - and I don't have the Parliament buildings... guess I'd better check my install! Thanks for the tip!

Nope. That's something that's been missed out. There used to be some nice Ottawa landmarks for FS9, but afaik nobody has released anything for FSX/P3D. Too bad... I hoped Global would have added something, but nada...

I had the engine failure problem too. Then I read the performance manuals that came with the install. Next flight I flew according to the numbers, and completed an 1.5 hour flight without any issues at all. Watch the torque settings!

KFC = Kelowna Flightcraft of Kelowna, British Columbia Canada. Google that and you'll find lots! Mark

If you've got ORBX Vector installed - try adding MKJP to the AEC removal list. I've had this issue crop up with many of my add-on airports since installing Vector. Good luck!

Pete, I had the same problem - then remembered my default settings in Simlauncher were for cold and dark... so if you're using P3D and Simlauncher - check that first!
