  1. @FDEdev I'm experiencing the same behavior as C130FE.

    I was flying w/ no PAX but full fuel.

    I cannot takeoff without setting trim to nosedown otherwise she will stall out and Full yoke deflection to nose down gets me to level flight only, not able to descend unless I lower condition lever to lower airspeed.

     

    NOTE: This occurs with the Carenado site FDE update applied.

     

    I will try to reinstall the FDE update to see if this changes anything and will report back


  2. Bert,

    Thank you for the info!

    As luck would have it there's a sale going on at reality xp too 😀 .

    so I'm aware of the following mods:

    • battery switch/external power & guage
    • Your panel mod
    • an FDE mod

     

    Are there others I should look for, or perhaps they've been consolidated?

     

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated


  3. OK so I know I'm very late to this party but was wondering where I could find all the must have mods for this aircraft?

    In general I don't fly many GA aircraft and find Carenado's to be excellent eye-candy but not much else.

    So I'm thinking that these mods will transform this into a really nice and fun to fly addition to my hangar.

    Also while I'm at it, Is it worth spending the cash on the F1 GTN Complete 650/750 add-on?

     

    thank you

     


  4. For me "study level sim" doesn't necessarily mean that the aircraft has to model other than normal operations to qualify but rather the level of detail the developers captured in their quest  to be as accurate in their aircraft model's behavior as the real aircraft. This applies to all aspects i.e., visual, aural, systems, flight, ground, etc, etc... and then some aspects that don't apply to their RW counterpart like in-sim performance (no sense purchasing a 10 frames/sec stuttering slide show), integration with other 3rd party applications etc.

     

    Your mileage will obviously vary

  5. I have a few questions for for you guys who are moderators at PROMODS.

     

    I am new to this so read that I am a NEWBIE w/ No past experience w/ ETS2 or ATS (which I own).

    Further, I am a SW Developer by profession but sadly only posses basic graphic artistic skills.

     

    I am interested in creating a mod or DLC for the Entire State of PA (I know its quite a grand project).

    I would like to do it at the same scale and level of detail that currently exists for CA & NV.

     

    I registered w/ PROMODS and even posted my interest in becoming an ATS dev team member.

    However when I browse the PROMODs Academy topic its IMHO unorganized (for a NEWBIE) and I don't know where start.

     

    So what I'm looking for is a little guidance and mentoring in how to proceed.

    This is how I'm thinking of approaching this (may not be in correct order):

     

    • Understand how mods work and how they are installed
    • Understand what the tools are and when/how to use them
    • Create a map area the correct size and shape of PA (at the same scale of CA & NV)
    • Overlay scaled Google map of entire state
    • Add terrain elevation contour
    • Add water features
    • Add US HWYs
    • Add PA HWYs
    • Add road signage (information & speed limit), traffic lights & stop signs
    • Add road specific POIs, (bridges, weigh stations, toll booths, rest areas, gas stations overpasses, etc)
    • Add railway lines, rail bridges, trains, train scheduling
    • Add cities, towns, landmarks
    • Add POIs  (recruiting agencies, dealerships, garages, rest areas not on HWYS, gas stations not on HWYs)
    • Add "Hauling Job" start & end points

     

    Can anyone suggest where I can find info on how to perform any of the above tasks or perhaps provide contact info of someone willing to mentor/oversee my learning development and project?


  6. i don't mean to hijack this discussion and perhaps there is another forum I should checkout so I'll apologize in advance of my posting:

     

    I am running a licensed copy of FSUIPC w/ P3d v3.1

    I just got my first 3 panels for my birthday (radio panel, switch panel and multi flight panel )and have yet to connect them.

     

    I would like to use them w/ my A2A 172, PMDG 737NGX & T7 and Majestic Q400

     

    How should I proceed?


  7. I must admit I'm new to the whole trucking experience and as an American I went out and purchased ATS. $20 pails in comparison to any P3D license so I thought I'd give it a go.To my surprise, I find I like it a lot and have become slightly addicted to it!  Since I'm new I cant compare it to ETS but I am having fun with it. Since I've never experienced other mods I find I don't miss them  :P. Looking forward to getting some mods and the AZ map.


  8. OK

     

    So after repeated fails I reluctantly installed Win 10 which installed effortlessly but NOW I have to get rid of all the apps and settings I'm not interrested in.

    This PC is going to be dedicated to P3D so I'm trying to get rid of all the bloat ware thats not needed.

     

    I realize this is off the original thread topic but if any of you have suggestions or site to refer to please forward as I'd like to see whats possible.

     

    TIA,

    Michael


  9. Hi all,

     

    Help needed.

    I'm trying to install Win7 from DVD on new system build (latest 6700K & ASUS ROG Mobo) without a CDRom drive.

     

    I have a USB 3.0 stick that I made bootable and copied over the disk files but It still fails to install.

    Getting a missing drivers dialog during beginning of install.

     

    I also tried by making an iso and putting that on the stick and it too failed stating no bootmgr was found.

     

    Any suggestions on how to proceed are greatly appreciated.

     

    Mike

     

     


  10. I got excited too and then like you saw the date.

     

     

    However I will take the opportunity to prepare for this years sales event (hopefully) and ask this question:

     

    Is the 727 worth getting as I seem to vaguely remember that an update was made that supposedly fixed most if not all of the known issues with this acft? Is my understanding correct?

     

    Hopefully this year P3D variants will be sale eligible  :dance:


  11. Greeting All

     

    I currently have FSX, FSUIPC, Aivlasoft EFB Client & SimConnect modules installed and running on one computer (Call it SIM#1).

    On  another computer thats networked I have: FSWide, ASN, Aivlasoft EFB, FSFK, VA-ACARS & all versions of SimConnect (Call it CLIENT#1)

     

    I am just completing the build of a new computer where I will install: P3D-V3, FSUIPC, Aivlasoft EFB Client & SimConnect modules(Lets call it SIM#2).

    I want to run SIM #2 in a networked config and will eventually mothball SIM#1.

     

    Next. I know I will also need to replace the xml config file IP Address information of SIM#1 for that of SIM#2.

     

    Will this work or do I need to reinstall Client#1 apps?

     

    Sorry if this sounds confusing?

     

    TIA

    Mike
