Heathrow to Dublin

If I use GPU panel state, the external power is already on, so what's the point? Again, I wanted the co-pilot to turn on the external power himself on start up when the power says "avail". On GPU panel state that button is already on. I have seen this happen on youtube videos with other users. They start with cold and dark with the GPU connected, and then during preflight the copilot turns it on. In this post below you said it was ok to start using "cold and dark". Gpu - FS2CREW: FLIGHT SIM LABS AIRBUS - The AVSIM Community Another problem is when the chocks are out, the FO says 'confirm chocks' and ground says he's going to put them in, the GPU gets disconnected for some reason. I reinstalled Fslabs and Fs2crew and there is no difference btw.

You said he should turn on the EXT button... So if its off he won't push it? I need the co=pilot to turn on the power himself when the power is OFF.

Like the OP i wanted the co-pilot to start the ext. power himself from cold/dark cockpit, when the power is off. Thanks.

I didn't save over the states. I load the plane and then set the default GPU state, then I turn off the external power button so that the co pilot may activate. Then i run fs2crew preflight. The CM never turns on the power. He goes to fire=test/APU directly and never pushes that button even though it says "avail". I never connected any power manually like page 4 says, I just load the state which has the GPU connected. I have tried with cold and dark too, with no results. Thanks

As a follow up, this doesn't work. Unless I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so.

Hello.. I am having the same problem. The FO never turns on the External Power even when loading the GPU state. I have tried several times now with both GPU and cold and dark, but the button is never pushed during preflight, just APU when i have that option on. Suggestions? Is this a bug? I just bought your software and this is extremely annoying. Also where in the tutorial docs does it say that the CM says "confirm chocks are in", i don't see it.

How about you mind your own business? And setting a 4k screen to 1080p is a non-starter, and a major waste. You must be dumb if you think I will be doing that. I said I didn't have amazing vision to see that tiny text "comfortably", not that I couldn't tell the difference between resolutions. And finally, the last comment the dev posted (directly in response to me) that I saw before making this complaint on here was a one liner about how it was just a Laminar bug. It was a glib and curt comment without much empathy and without any advice at all. Not exactly the most customer friendly dev in the world! Your defense of the dev is short sighted as it ignores his initial brusque response to my concerns regarding the font issue. The feact that he may have added some info at a later point has no relevance to my post here. I decided not to return to the .org to check as I had no desire to get into an argument with a dev at that time. The software was 30 bucks and the font is extremely small unless you get your eyes right up next to the screen (not going to happen). So again, keep your nose out of others affairs. Sounds like you have an agenda regarding this product with the way you launched that attack on me. I think you can be safely ignored.

Ok, so I didn't find the right click menu, where is it? Nothing happens when I right click the screen. Are you talking about clicking on the WT interface or on the main X-Plane window? Anyway, I went ahead and adjusted the text size in the settings menu and that had no effect whatsoever on the WT interface. I'm regretting my purchase. Anything better than this joke of a program out there? 30 bucks for this seems ludicrous if you have a 4k screen ( which is getting quite common now) and don't have amazing vision. I'm seriously unhappy with it. Compared to the offerings over at P3D, this can't compare. 30 bucks and I can't even read the text without a magnifying glass. Compare that to UT Live and its nice interface. I think it's a major rip off at that price for the quality being offered. I'm gutted. I also asked the dev over at the .org and he just blamed it on a Laminar bug, LMFAO.

Ok, thanks. I'll try it.

The menus in WT3 are unusable for me on a 4k screen, far too small. How do you get them bigger?

That is not good for me. I don't think I've got the machine to run my favorite birds (fslabs a320 and pmdg 747) with this scenery, given that normal Orbx regions bog the frames down a lot without turning down the settings far to the left. Oh well. I am guessing this will require a monster machine to run complex aircraft and complex airports well.

I agree, just awful.

I downloaded some of that custom France autogen freeware to use with some freeware French photoscenery that was posted here on the forum. I was disappointed with the result. Too generic. Also, the problem with Orto4XP is that the autogen is very generic too and the cities lack identity, otherwise it is a fine solution if you use that sim. Orbx will at least show places that bear a decent resemblance to reality even if it doesn't match perfectly in actuality.

I have mega scenery earth but I don't like the look on approach and takeoff without decent autogen. Also, I'm too lazy to download tons of custom autogen for every country i visit. I'm interested in seeing this product's performance with the A320 because that's my bird.

It's simple compared to the FSLABS. That's my benchmark. The 737NGX doesn't require the kind of resources that the FSLabs product demands. That's what I mean when I say simple. Simple as in complexity of the software in comparison to the more advanced birds. Not that the NGX is a basic plane, it just runs far easier on complex scenery without crumbling to a depressing 19 fps.
