  1. Really enjoying this aircraft. Very smooth, fluid & realistic. I thought I read somewhere that someone had flown an ILS approach in the Comanche, but can't find anything in the Manual on that. Can it be done in the absence of an APPR button on the AP, & if so , what are the steps taken? T45
  2. Thank you I was hoping for Point A to point B to point C , where A, B & C aren't in a straight line😀 T45
  3. Do any of the GPS/AP combos allow LNAV flight that follows the magenta line in a dog leg flight plan ? T45
  4. Interested in the initial reactions of early adopters who aren't Influencers. T45
  5. Boeing 307 Stratoliner circling at night. T45
  6. Anyone get NAV to work on the 'modern' AP, [top left of cockpit] I can set it, but aircraft does not follow the magenta line. HDG works ok. T45
  7. Flying locally this morning in Southern New Jersey & I noticed a smoky haze across and East of an area where there is an active bush fire. We are getting the high-altitude smoke from Canada, & the drift from a local bush fire to the West of here. Does Live Weather have the ability to show smoke drift, because that is what I feel I am seeing. T45
  8. I have tried to register on the Canada Air forum, but registration currently is not working. So, I will try to get an answer here. In Charter work, I am wondering how the fpm Landing Rate is calculated.? Does it start from say 20 miles out, or a different distance? I am doing -300fpm to -500fpm yet I see others coming in at -10fpm, so I am scratching my head as to how they do it. Get down low a long way out & then ease in at low altitude? Or some other method? T45
  9. Many hours on the ATR's in MSFS & haven't had the issue you describe. Trims all centered on T/Off? T45
  10. Is this "an install update over the current version", or remove current version 1st, update?? T45
  11. Anyone know the latest forecast release date for the subject MSFS aircraft? T45
  12. I was watching YT Live from Heathrow & the LOT 737 Max 8, (SP-LVD), landed with a livery I hadn't seen before. Patriotic in theme, it made me wonder if this special livery would have been applied at Renton, or by custom painting somewhere else, & if so, where? T45
  13. Log on to MSFS using left mouse button. Do not log on using right mouse button, [as Administrator] It's a quirk of the market place. T45
  14. Need some help - Pilot side, 2nd screen from left that has 'TCAS ABOVE in green. How do I change that to TCAS NORMAL? When I first used the ATR that bottom left of this screen had far more options than I am seeing now. Can't figure out where they have gone. Also, anyone found a video on programming the FMS, which, I think, is where many of my Navigation & AP issues are occurring. T45 PS - still need changing the TCAS help, but TG for Jonathan Beckett, he has put out a "Cold & Dark Start" YT video for the 42-600 & includes programming the FMS in it. I now know where I was going wrong.
  15. I think many of the inquiries here & on the MSFS forum would have not needed to be posted had they released a basic User Manual day 1 so that people unfamiliar with the ATR could have had an easier time getting to grips with it. I have a few things to sort out that I feel should have been covered in a Manual to save me trawling through YT videos looking for the answers. T45
  16. Still can't get NAV going, even after loading a flight plan in the FMC. When I activate the AP I hit FD button [LHSide], set Altitude, set VS, hit AP, then NAV, but when I hit NAV button, HDG SEL comes up & it follows a Heading. Do you do anything different to the above?? T45
  17. Did you have a flight plan loaded in the FMC?? & is there a button somewhere that activates NAV system before you hit NAV button in the AP panel? T45
  18. Bit stunned its released with AP issues. Besides VNAV issues, I can't get LNAV, [NAV button], to engage. T45
  19. Good question. Not sure. A lot of glass that I don't know how to get around. I feel there is a button somewhere that I need to push before the NAV button will take. I am not using the FMC, which might cause the NAV issue as no flight plan is loaded in the FMC. T45
  20. I need a Manual. Also, running on AP, selected NAV, but HDG SEL comes up & then a flashing message "Select LNAV", but it won't take NAV. Anyone know how to get AP to take NAV when flying along the Magenta line? T45
  21. Quick initial flight, & it was quick! Suggest you check/set/calibrate your throttles in the EFB as I didn't do that & it was full throttle for most of the flight. Need to do some reading before the next flight 😃 T45
  22. I was in the Market place 10 minutes ago & USD19.99 was the price. Just gone back in & now I am seeing USD12.99, so, no brainer😃 ATR D/L is 1.06 GB T45
  23. Is there a listing of the new airports/tweaked airports, & so on anywhere? T45
  24. While the nuances of Update prep are being wrangled, what about anticipated release time? Anyone seen anything official regarding that? T45
  25. Being a collector of liveries, I recently sprung for the Virtualcol E-190/E-195. It was updated Dec'14 2022 & flies much better than I expected from reviews. Still a bit twitchy on the controls. I can't find where to activate Nav1, or feed in the frequency for an ILS landing, [assuming it can manage an ILS. The rest of the AP system appears to work ok so far.] Anyone admit to this purchase & point me in the right direction? Thanks T45
