Good evening - I create a flightplan with AivlaSoft or FSC and then I import the Flightplan as usual via FSX Flightplanner ... [then] manually insert the waypoints into the 750. The 750 will override the G600 and you can fly procedures. Hope this helps T

Hi - Bought the Chieftain too ... there are quite a few bugs but I'm sure they will sort it out. What drives me insane is the MSG ALERT flickering constantly ad infinitum ad nauseam and because I have the Flight1 GTN 750 installed there is no button to push and hold until it stays off permanently - or is there a trick somewhere? Regards Terblanche

Great! Thank you Jarkko ... I'll try that. :smile:

My feeling is that there is an element of truth in all of above although I've never seen that the FMC will change the course if you select an APP and the CDU display it as Runway06/59° I do however think I discovered the CULPRIT - For some strange reason, after all these years, the AIRAC for some ILS frequencies is incorrect. I revisited some of the airports that has this problem and discovered the following: EDDL Düsseldorf Rwy 23L - the frequency should be 109.90 EDDK Köln Rwy 32R should be 109.70 EDDP Leipzig Rwy 08R should be 111.90 EDLP Paderborn Rwy 05 should be 111.70 LOWS Salzburg Rwy 15 should be 109.90 LIBD Bari Rwy 07 should be 111.35 It seems the ADDON scenery's frequencies are different and therefore the CDU display a freq that is set in the NAV RADIO but in fact the freq is different. Even when you put in the correct (above mentioned) freq, the ProATC will change it automatically to the one it has in its database therefore you see the LOC and GS come alive and when ProATC (using the same AIRAC) clear you for the approach it then sets the radio to the 'wrong' frequency resulting in a very confused autopilot :smile: I suspect that there must be a couple of more such discrepancies between AIRAC and the ADDON scenery's ILS frequencies. Maybe PMDG, if they follow this, could ask Navigraph to update their database - or will it interfere with the frequencies for default airports because not all simmers have the payware airports that most of us do? At least now I am aware of this and could set the 'correct' freq in the standby NAV RADIO as well and then quickly switch to it and still maintain the approach. Regards Terblanche

Thank you all for your input ... Let me explain the last example: Flight from Kastela (LDSP) to Friedrichschafen (EDNY) heading 300° At FHO225/11 starts turning right for ARGEV intersection LOC comes alive on 111.90 [Rwy 06 (059°)] and it is set in 'course' Altitude 4000" and one tick underneath GS Next moment the plane makes a sharp turn left as if it wants to make a 180° away from the airport Let me try and duplicate it without ProATC and see if that is the problem although I've been using ProATC for almost 6 months and never had this problem. The last week however it keeps happening ad randomly.

Good day - I engage the LOC on autopilot to first intercept the localiser and then APP after that. Strangely the last couple of days, the aircraft (autopilot) will then make a sharp left or right 'away' from the localiser. Example: I fly a heading of 030° to intercept the LOC on 090° the aircraft then start to turn LEFT in sharp bank angle and you have to disconnect the autopilot and fly manually resulting in a very unstable approach. As far as I can see everything is normal and there are no settings that could cause this. The only plugin is Pro/ATC but it is not set to handle the autopilot. It is now becoming annoying seeing that it pops up randomly. Hope there is an explanation or something I can do to prevent this. Regards Terblanche [± 2800 hours in PMDG 738NGX]

scandinavian13 Thank you for all the advice - the unplug was the first thing I did ... problem remained. 777200LRF All my control settings are exactly as I always have them but thanks for the input. WELL, if all else fails then reinstall ... and that is exactly what I did and ALL WORKS FINE now. After about 3000 hours in the PMDG B738 I am baffled what could have caused it because I've never had this before. Happy landings - thank you all.

Thank your for your quick response Kyle - I've checked and rechecked and have no FSUIPC.cfg file in any folder of FSX. I do have, however, my registered FSUIPC files in the MODULES folder. Perhaps your're referring to the FSUIPC.ini file?? Regards Terblanche Jordaan I have tried what you suggested with the FSUIPC.ini file - first to desktop > problem still exists and then deleted it > problem still persists. I've created a CONTROL KEY to reset aileron and for a moment the yoke centres itself and then it tilts to the right again. What is very strange, is the fact that it only happens in the B738 and not B777 or any other aircraft.

I've been using MT2013 since it was launched and have a very good idea how to add, export, import, rebuilt ... I've recently reinstalled my whole FSX and it made all the difference in frame rates etc - but a curious thing happened, some airports have no AI traffic (not even on 100% AI) For example: I've purchased LIMC (Milan) from Sim-Giants and it is a huge airport but with no AI whatsoever. Also noticed it with other airports that I've purchased. Airports that come with AI *.bgl files do not have the problem like EKCH (Fly Tampa) and LIRF (Aerosoft) but a lot of other airports are a ghost-port. Any suggestions will help? Thank you.

Recently something 'strange' is happening with my B738 yoke - it tilts to the right by itself and I have to pull left on my joystick to fly level again. I'm using Microsoft Force Feedback 2 and everything is calibrated - in FSX and FSUIPC and it doesn't happen with any other aircraft in FSX. Any ideas why?
