I know! I have watched most of them. Your INS tutorial was very helpful. I just cant get the target coordinates to accurately, well, target!

Thanks to both of you. I agree, while its cool to have the real world manual, its almost impossible to follow at times considering there are changes to the airplane after certain production numbers (which doesn't matter in FSX land).

Just bought the F4E model, and its visually stunning and a very good flyer. I have some confusion on some of the systems, however, and I have poured through the manual, which hasnt helped me out (not a knock against Milviz, i just am having a hard time understanding things). Firstly- the 'MASTER CAUTION" light refuses to go out, no matter what I hit. Secondly, the INS seems to take me very off course. I have watched the tutorial, and setting it up is fine. It is when i set a target is where I have issues. The INS takes me either off course (by varying distances) or the distance computer says the target is 9000+ miles away (which is impossible!). I am confused as to what i am doing wrong. Lastly, I cannot get the wings to fold or the "reds" to appear on the airplane with the manager. I reinstalled the plane but this problem persists. Any help appreciated! I am posting here because I have not set up a Milviz forum account yet. Its a stunning plane overall, I have no issues with the quality. I just want to clear up a couple things. Thanks!

oops, im an idiot. I installed the 'pilot' patch in the 'pro' version. All's well. Mods can close.

Hey! Saw there was a new patch on the User Area of majestic's site. I downloaded it and installed it, but now my HGS screen only displays in red, "HGS". The glass itself is blank. Also, none of the circuit breaker popups are working. is this a bug or a common issue? Thanks

Dont forget, its a regional airliner, and therefore is made cheaper for small, fast routes for the commuter airlines. It wont be as "friendly" as a 737 for example regarding autopilot.

Id be very happy to fly this event, probably will take up my Realair Lancair Legacy if the focus is going to be on smaller private planes. Will let some flight sim friends know as well. Might I suggest doing it a little later in the day, such as around 6 EST? Would make sure most of us (like me) are out of school/work.

Could be an error. I sometimes have the plane start up in flames, and nothing makes them go away.

You too? I lost an engine on approach haha. Alas, I was too engrossed in the sheer awesomeness of the HGS to realize I was stalling. Good thing it was just a delivery flight..

Thanks, both of you!

Hi- Having a bit of issues trying an HGS takeoff-probably just me not understanding the manuel or what, but I cannot figure it out. Which ILS frequencies do I tune? The one from the runway i'm taking off from (e.g runway 5's frequency for taking off runway 5)? The one from the oppposite end? Both? And, which radio do I put it in? The setting all the speeds is fine, I can handle that. Same for setting the NAV sources. Its just the "which frequency do I tune, and where" that is stopping me. This is a fabulous aircraft, and I love the HGS landings. Just the takeoffs that are eluding me.

Empty your tip tanks!

Hello! Just want to say I am absolutely pumped for the DC-6 release! Love props, mostly because they are so hands-on, and the old birds are no exception! Cheers! -Mike Pesarchick

If you like, SimMarket charges in Euros, so you can usually save about 10 bucks due to the exchange rate. Well worth the money!

Oh my goodness :wub:

Hi! Love this plane! Even sprung for the Fs2Crew for it (which is a challenge in of itself!). However, I notice that I could set a setting of passengers and cargo in the control panel, and have the ZFW come out to, say, 53000 lbs. However, when I enter the same settings in the FMC (# of passengers, cargo weights, etc), it comes out as a different ZFW- say, 51000 lbs. What am I doing wrong? I know I am entering in the data correctly, or at least I THINK I am! help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi: If you like, (and not to knock Airline2Sim's work in any way, shape, or form) check out FroogleSim's videos on youtube for this lovely plane. They helped me out a LOT when I first started up.

Perhaps I should have posted the link! www.flygocal.com They fly all around California and the Southwest, with dash Q 400s and 737-800s.

Hello: Before I start, I just want to say I am not a founder or manager. I'm just a pilot here, GCL0007. Now then- there is a great new VA that's flying under the radar, called GoCal Virtual Airlines. It is just like the old PSA of the 1970s and 1980s, with short, simple routes around the American southwest region (LA, San Diego, San Francisco, etc.). Their fleet is made up of 737s and dash q400s (repaints for PMDG and Majestic are available). Most of their flights are done in about 20 minutes, so its great for those always on the go. I use it in a "supplement" with my other VA, Northwest virtual. For example, the San Diego-Palm Springs route takes about 20 minutes to fly (my pre-flight takes longer ) Its a nice, new idea, not just a clone of a real world airline. The staff is really helpful, and they obviously have put a TON of work into their airline. Come try it out! If you do, please tell them Mike Pesarchick sent you. Thanks guys, hope to see you there.

Did you calibrate it? Go to settings, "audio" and calibrate the mic. Then it should work.

That's great to hear. Like I said, I can vouch for its accuracy. Just looking at the screenshots over at SimMarket, I can say that it is DEAD ON. I even see the resturant on the street across the end of runway 14 which I eat at all the time!

Pity, I was thinking about getting this; the screenies look amazing. Looks exactly as it does when I drive by every day. However, if it takes a toll on the system I have to pass.

Hahaha very nice :smile: Just tried it and look at that! We are on the straight and level (flight) path again. This is such a fun plane, well worth the money.

Thanks guys. I know it is not fuel related; I transfer the fuel during flight to perfectly balanced, and even a little more on the other side. I'll try the rudder trim; didn't know you could use it while the autopilot is on.

Hi- Had this plane for about a week. I am really getting the hang of it, and can do a flight startup to shutdown with out too much trouble. However, I have noticed that flying at any level, when the autopilot is on, the plane tilts or lists to the left. This is more of a case of OCD ( :-) ) than anything, but can anyone tell me why this is? I imagine its a weight imbalance but I havent a clue.
