Hmm. That was what I was worried about. If it was a set it and forget it thing I'd be OK with it, but having to tweak and replace files, that's a no from me. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi all. I received an email from Just Flight about their sale and noticed that Real Taxiways has a reasonable discount. What are your thoughts on this product? Does it improve things or does it cause more problems than it’s worth? Thanks, Alistair

As Ray said, may as well let Windows manage the swap file settings. I must admit I haven't even thought about tweaking the settings in my last couple of PCs.

I heard on a livestream today with Andy from FSLabs that at least at initial release it won't be possible to turn off the Virtual First Officer and Flight Engineer so it won't be possible for users to manage the fuel. It was on a FlyBoy Aviation twitch stream, but I can't remember when in the video it was mentioned.

Their P3d base models are an excellent buy at $9.99.

Everything on the site is $9.99 for the next 24 hours.

Apologies for redundant question

I guess I've worked out what my problem is. The regular Lear 35A is fine. The Cargo variant just won't grab the flightplan. Which is weird. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the plane and the FMS, but the cargo variant will not go to NAV LRN.

I guess that must be it. I've tried a few more flightplans and all is good.

Good news and bad news. The HDG knob works well now. I still can't get 1.2 to go to NAV LRN. Even when I'm perfectly lined up for the next waypoint, it just sits on ARM. This is my LEBL to LEMD flight detailed yesterday.

Hey, it's a beta. All part of the fun.😉

Using P3D 5.1 HF2 The thing with the HDG knob is that when hovering over it, it doesn't display the current heading, and each click of the mouse wheel changes the displayed heading by about 57 degrees. Turning the HDG moves the heading bug properly, but the information provided by the "tool-tip" when you're hovering over the HDG knob doesn't make sense. Not sure if that's any clearer.... For example, the heading bug on the HSI is set at 290. If I hover over the HDG knob the tool tip shows the heading as 005. If I left click once on the HDG know, the heading displayed on the tool tip changes to 308, if I click it again, it changes to 251. Click again and it changes to 193. Right clicking causes the displayed heading on the tool tip to change to 251, then 308, then 005, 62, 120, 177 etc. Each forward click of the mousewheel does the same as right clicking, each backward click of the mousewheel does the same as left clicking. The heading bug itself, moves exactly as you would expect, it's just the displayed heading in the HDG knob tool-tip that displays the erroneous information. It's not a showstopper but it does make accurately changing the heading more difficult.

I tried the flightplan I tried before, and again, the NAV LRN would never engage. It sat at ARM. Flight was LEBL DCT LOBAR/N0000F150 DCT NEXAS A975 DISVU DCT ADUXO/N0000F210 LEMD. The NAV LRN wouldn't light up on the ground, but since the SID (LOBA2C from Rwy 7R) had of about 25 degrees to the right straight after takeoff, I wondered if that was too high an angle to pick up the flight plan. I manually flew until it was right on the flightpath but NAV LRN wouldn't light up. Not sure what's going on. The PFD has FMS NAV selected, the master AP is on, and the ENG light is showing green R P on the AFCS display. Another thing I've noticed is that HDG control doesn't give meaningful information in the pop up when you're turning it so I have to try and keep the HDG control and HSI in view simultaneously to get to a specific heading, which is tricky with TrackIR.

That worked! I got the NAV LRN. I'll try again with the flight I tried earlier. Thanks for the help!

I never get the LRN NAV light. The Nav button never changes from ARM.
