Is it possible to show the world map UTC & Local time in 24hr format. If so, How.

Both hard to work on & unreliable.😁

IMHO,I would ditch the Working title addon & just use the G3000/G5000 add in. On the FMS panel, there is a selection of Simbrief. Select this & you can download the flt plan. You might have to recheck the SIDs & Stars under the PROC selection. I am not in front of the sim so am only working from memory. It certainly works for me.

Thanks for all the info. I was having problems with CTD's & the game not starting "cleanly". Both seem to have fixed themselves now. At the same time, unknown to me, the Internet provider was switching my internet between cable & their 5G system back & forwards. That might have caused some problems, but it all appears to be working OK now.

I am looking to delete MSFS & reinstall it & get rid of most of my Community folder add-ons There are many post on Utube ,forums etc, but none seem to be totally procedure specific. Ques, Where can I find a good procedure to remove & reinstall. There probably are some on this form but I seen to locate them. I know that there are all sorts of files hanging around after deletion but finding them seems to be difficult Any good help is appreciated. Kev M

Realistic parking brake operation in the "old" Boeing A/c is to fully depress the brake pedals and pull up the Parking brake lever. This mechanically holds the pedals depressed and a switch in the lever, causes a brake return valve to close. The release is to push the pedals which releases the holding mechanism, allows the pedals to return to normal. The lever drops down & the brake return valve opens. The parking brake light and valve is a function of the position of the parking brake lever. Kev

Sometimes I get this message on going to the world map but it goes away. Occasionally it pops up during flight but does not seem to affect anything. My speed & bandwidth in Australia is quire low compared to most of the world as other Australian' probable know.

One of the last items on my pre T/O check is CAS..................Checked There should be no yellow or red msgs on the CAS. The only one you might have is a white msg that the Inertial Seperator is open if selected open during taxi out.

If the bleed system was OFF you should have had a CAS msg (bleed off) & a master warning.

I just did a ground engine run on the TBM & the throttle worked perfectly. Throttle is a Honeycomb Bravo.

From my memory, Early Lockheed L1011's had Omega Nav system installed, which I think was a LF, system but different to the 247 type of LF nav.

Now for those who want real world old navigation, for longer ocean crossings install a sextant mount & shoot the stars as they did in the pre mid sixties. Doppler nav was also popular until INS became available. In most 707's the INS installation was not approved for primary navigation (but it was used for that but not coupled to the autopilot. In my 707 days,( it was a long haul airline with ocean crossings), the crew had a navigator. Doppler nav was later fitted but relied on the accuracy of the onboard compass system to a level that the compass system was never designed for. I spent a lot of time tweaking compass systems to keep the doppler nav system accurate. How to do it was in your head, not in a Manul. Those were the good old days.

@FakeWayne Thanks, I usually make my VFR flights in LNP or Navigraph. I will give it a go. Kev

I know this has been gone through before but can VFR flights be created in Simbrief? Kev

A couple of things. The hyd problem is exactly what it says, The hyd shutoff is closed. Check the 2 hyd switches on the front r/h side of the pedestal. Make sure they are in the normal position. If so, check the control menu for Hydraulics. Make sure there is nothing anywhere bound to the hyd shutoff function. PS BUTTON. Should be at normal. The pitot/static heat is now automatic. Dont turn it on. NO TAKEOFF. The trim is not in the green band. Also noticed no V SPEEDS warning on the PFD. Kev
