Great shots. You gave me the desire to dowload these nice airports. Was a fun flight - I did it the other way around - thunderstorms and lightning at Telavi today 🙂 Arrival at mestia is really chalenging (especially with a Handley Page Jetstream) Thanks for sharing Gérard

I was recognizing that view and just verified it's name ... Looks like Fitiuta Apt. (FAQ), Tau Island, American Samoa (from ORBX "Pago Pago International Aiport Scenery"). Looks great 🙂 Gérard

To get this function, you need to activate the "Experimental versions" option in the Preference/General tab (first line). Enjoy 🙂 Gérard

Hi, You can enter a flight number on the P3D "Select Vehicule" dialog on the bottom "Air Traffic Control" area. This value will then be remembered by P3D for this aircraft variation. You can also enter an "atc_flight_number" value in the aircraft.cfg [flightsim] section for variations which have never been loaded by P3D. Enjoy Gérard

Don't forget to assign a key to one Gps1000 key (search in documentation) to get the ONE reverser only function... Enjoy that beautiful Falcon 🙂

I looks like it is the test button to check voltage, not the actual switch.. anyway not that important 😉 Gérard

Thank for these detailed explanation, as usual. I have read a lot of your interventions here which have always be very helpful for me. Gérard

Thanks for the clarification. I had seen before the recommandation of climb + IAS / versus descent + VS, but I was missing the information that IAS was compatible with ALTSEL. And just discovered that speed "reference marker" was not used for the AP. Still a lot to learn 🙂 Another unrelated question, if I may : trying to stick to the checklist, - I was not able to find the Emergency Battery SW (after start checklist) - I don't understand the Cabin Pressure system (selector, controler, how one should select the cabin altitude - #30 and #34 of the Main Panel Information picture) As this has been obviously simulated with great care, I would love to learn how to use them... Gérard

Hello, I need more explanations on the functioning of the autopilot altitude management. I am obviously doing something wrong : it looks like AltSel does not work if VS is not active 🙂 Also on the Autopilot panel, Should not this allow to switch the HSI source ? Thanks for this great plane and your help.. Gérard

Seams to be a Prepar3D 4.4 "new feature" 😉 Hope it helps Gérard

Thanks to LittleNavMap here is the answer : 🙂 96 airports are closed in default FSX (SP2) https://www.dropbox.com/s/luzblfbd8nelr7g/FSX Default closed airports.xls?dl=0 Let me know if it is what you expected and when I can deleted it from my drop box. Enjoy 😉 Gérard

The Milton's freeware Mallard and Turbo Mallard (both native Fsx version), are really great. Gérard

Hello Keven, I am still expecting the evolution of the replay feature. Could you give us some information or should we consider this as withdrawn ? Would be great to know... Gérard

The instructions of Elaine are the right one. I did follow them with succes. The two entries in Orbx Ftx were initially created for it ! The tricky step is the update of terrain.cfg ... Good luck. Gérard

And you will get glass cockpit .... anachronism

Let me know when you start modelling her. I want to be first to buy 😉 Gérard

Hi, Any new on that topic ? I am ready to "invest" in a paying upgrade, I am so happy with what you have developped so far 🙂 Thanks Gérard

And I would love to have one well modeled. I use so far the AI version of Andrew Jarvis (privetely) converted to FSX and using the Falcon 20 (freeware) cockpit !! It's a very special beast according to Icare, a french pilot review. Gérard

Hi Flysimware, thanks for your answers. I was probably not clear (english is not my native lanhuage) - the "fs_dummy.fx" and the "silence.wav" ARE supplied and used by LM, - the fx_dummy is used in the default F-16 aircraft.cfg (A, AM and C) - the silence.wav in the default PiperJ3 Cub sound.cfg No need to create them. I hate this one - it's a widely used trick and LM should not warn... 70 times in a single airport. Has been reported to LM which don't want to "forget it" [error.5] error=Taxiway path with 0 width I know this one, most of the time you can see in ModelConverterX "material editor" something like this The material name is "COCKPIT_T" but there is an associated texture with this "DDS" thing. I am not a modeler, so I don't know how this appears, and I never dare to update any model ... Maybe you - delivery guy 😉 - could investigate at FsDeveloper. If I can be of further help, it will be my pleasure. Gérard

Hi Flysimware, I admire your work on the Falcon 50, and your dedication to fine tune it. As I am not a real life pilot, I wait for the final product : I follow your progress since the very first annoucement of the Falcon, so I can wait few weeks more :). But I am a real life IT guy ! So, I am sorry, but I can't agree with your statement for several reasons : - when P3D display a warning, that means that it is using "an error recovery" routine, instead of the standard code, even when warnings are turned off ! - due to the numerous cascading of folders, looking (several time) for an inexisting file does have an impact. - the too numerous gargage messages hide the usefull one ! - if a gauge, an image (texture or gauge image), a sound, shall not be used, why continue to call for it (it is not that difficult to fix) ! When I see (you may recognize the developper ) changing the image name from MyImage.bmp to MyImageNOP, (because re-using a old 2D gauge) instead of deleting these 3 lines or just commenting the block, I feal upset... <Image id="My Image ID" Name="MyImageNOP"> <Transparent>True</Transparent> </Image> Just for your information, since I switched to P3D, I fixed a lot of error messages, most of the time "garbage", in order to keep my ContentErrors file as clean as possible. And that way, I am able to fix real errors not caught by the developper - e.g. LM itself forgot to change in a panel a sound.dll to the 64bits version (in lieu of the old 32bits one). I am an old IT man and learned that every warning may hide a real error and have a side effect (and overhead), as the automatic correction may not take the right decision !!! Hope you understand my reaction. Gérard Remark default sound pointing to nothing = official LM is "silent.wav" fx_NONE.fx = official LM is "fx_dummy.fx"

Hi Oliver, I would also be VERY interested. I find the P3D vehicule selection screen so awkward 😞 Regards Gérard

Hi Mike, I took a look to your simobjects.cfg and noticed the last entry is pointing to the 32bits programs entry of Windows ??? Mine as only nine entries, all only refering to genuine P3DV4 directories [Entry.10] PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Ideal Flight Professional\SimObjects\Misc TITLE=IF10SimObjects ACTIVE=true REQUIRED=true I suggest deleting it - and checking Ideal Flight support forum.

Hi John, Thanks for the tip ! Short flights are my "cup of tea" 🙂 Gérard

I would love to follow this flight plan. It is probably obvious for American people to recreate it, but for a foreigner (I am French), it is difficult to guess to most scenic viewpoints... Could you help ? Thanks Gérard
