Whenever I use the autopilot function of Geoff's Debonair I go through the autopilot turn on procedure and it seems to control the plane ok. The problem is when I go to disconnect the autopilot. The instrument itself turns off but the autopilot stays engaged. The AP off warning blares continuously and won't turn off unless I re-engage the AP. Don't know if this problem has been discussed before. Thanks for any help.Jim

Hello,I cannot say very much, but Flight Sim Air Racing will be launched for FS2004. Plans are underway, and working good.I'll make it short and simple. I have been running FSAR from The development front, alone. We need some help. Here's the deal, I am prepared to pay $$ the individuals that become part of our development team. Understand that this is a task that will take someone who is truly interested/into Reno-style Air Racing on Flight Simulator.We need model,panel,sound, or texture developers. If you think you got what it takes to become a developer in any of those fields, and would like to become an official FSAR developer, devoted to developing for FSAR, please e…

I previously posted about a problem disconnecting the AP on Geof's Debonair. Decided to re-download the aircraft again. After doing that, I followed the installation instructions to the letter but when I start FS 2002 and try to select the airplane it is not there. This has happened to me before on other downloads (not all) and I can never figure out how to get the plane(s) to show up. Any body know what I may be doing wrong. Thanks for any help to a dumb a--.Jim

I want to get rid of the 3d cockpit in 2d mode in a couple of acft (you can see the 3d cockpit when looking to the sides just beyond my added on 2d cockpit views). However, I want to keep the 3d view in most of my acft 2D cockpits... can this be done on a per acft basis?

Is any one having problem getting these A/C to show in FS2002 ?They fail to show in the Aircraft menu anywhere. Aircraft config looks OK.I have checked the panel and sound alias and they are fine.Ausie.

"Weather Maker No Longer to be Freeware?"I read this press release and the title of this thread immediately came to mind.To suggest they have a policy of not charging for software that is not entirely theirs and then to suggest that Pete Dowson's decision is prompting a rethink is weak as ....FSUIPC should not be the vehicle for this kind of rethink after all Pete Dowson has made noises along the lines of continuing to support freeware programs. If they have a product that will stand up to scrutiny and sell on it's merits -- by all means make it commercial but don't hide behind a smokescreen.Software developers that use a half baked excuse such as this deserve to see thei…

If you set the date and time in the simulator just right, can you see bulldozers come out at Meigs and carve bix X's in the runway?http://saltydogfly2.avsim.net/images/avsim_sig.jpg

Could someone please give me the file number for Mike Stone's Sabreliner?

Hi, users of Ultimate Traffic,I'm very interested in this add-on to populate more realistically the FS world , but I wonder if, once you have installed UT, if the small airfields with a control tower are busy with GA airplanes ? I'm afraid that UT only installs medium and big iron from known airlines... True or false ?Thanks for the answer...Alain

Hello,I've been using Lago's excellent (and inexpensive) Soundscape program for a few days, and have gotten a nice background going at my favorite airport.But when I start up FS2002 (or stop/ restart Soudnscape player) all of the sounds I've programmed for this location (about 6 total) play at once in a great cacaphony. Then they start to cycle normally according to the times I've set.Is this normal? If so, any way to change it so I have a nice, quiet start to my flights?Thanks,Joel

I just recently upgraded to windows xp, and, for themost part, FS works great.However, Ive begun to have an intermittent problem with the CH products' pro pedals.They work fine, then suddently they don't, sometimes during a flight.I can get them working again by unplugging the usb cable and replugging it back in.Has anyone else had this sort of problem. Ive plugged it into a diferent usb hub, but the problem persists.ThanksJohn WNewburgh, IN

I'm looking for the "original" 727-200 by FFX. I found a lot of "repaints, modifications" files. Don't I need the original first, then download the "repaint" for the livery I want? Or, can I download the "repaint" and have the model? Probably a dumb question, but thanks in advance. louross.

Sorry if these questions have been asked before, but I have a whole bunch of questions that can probably be answered by the beta testers:i) Backward compatability:I have quite a large hangar of addon aircraft, and I'd like to know the ones which are known to work ok with the new version. I know 767PIC won't work :( but what about other popular addons, e.g. Dreamfleet, PSS, Captainsim, etc? Could we have some sort of list of aircraft that are known to work with the new version?ii) Will I be able to still use my existing mesh and landclass collections?iii) What are the default flight models like? The Lear VC looks beautiful, but does it still have that horrible twitchy fli…

Hi all :DI have a AMD 1.33 TB and was looking at the AMD XP220+, the max myEpox board can take, what is the true difference in speed compared to my old cpu, I think XP2200+ is not 2.2ghz??thankyou,Steve*EDIT* OPPSS sorry Mr Mod, wrong box :-shy

hi,My machine has been giving me this sound problem for a while and it doesent happen every time I fly but Im tired of it and want to fix it. The problem is sometimes all of a sudden my sound starts to stutter which causes the sim to stutter :-(. Heres what happened to me today I setup my flight with the pss 747(the problem happens with any airplane so its not the airplane thats the problem). When I start the engines the problem starts even with just one engine on and it gets worse with four engines on, massive stutters lowering my frame rates to like 4 fps. The problem goes away by pressing the Q key to turn off sound in fs2002. This leads me to believe the problem is my…

hi, as the squawkbox3.0 will not be compatible with IVAO, but how can that be? As far as I understand, these 2 networks should be quite the same giving that the same software could be use with the 2 networks, which currently is Squawkbox V2.3 beta5. So one software that can be used in one network SHOULD be compatible with another? Or thay are planing for a network upgrade thus made the 2 networks incompatible.Vatin

I had never payed much attention to scenery addons or terrain mesh other than the few commercial products I have bought in the past which for the most part, have all the bugs sorted out. Recently however, an excellent 3 arc per second freeware mesh has been released by Alvaro Romero Vargas. The first release covers Colombia and more is in the works for the rest of latin america. My problem lies in the fact that with the new mesh some airports maintain their default altitudes which makes them show on top of steep hills or sunk under surrounding terrain. I have been trying to create flattened areas (FSSC) to level these airports. However, I usually end up with very unrealis…

jerrycwo4I've been flying the above Constellation along with a number of other programs (weather , audio,etc)and for some unknown reason I can NOT start the engines with Flight Deck Companion running. When I turn FDC off, then the engines will start. Anyone else having this problem. The author of FDC was kind enough to inform me that FDC does not effect this, but in my case, for some reason, it does. jerry

I have downloaded numerous (for me) models of FS2002 aircraft and have enjoyed the labors of many brighter minds than my own. Still, I have a few models that are completely unflyable. What I'm experiencing is that after takeoff, the aircraft will pitch up almost vertically. Usually after the plane has reached its max speed or nearing cruise speed. Trim settings will put the model will cause the model to "twirl". Rudder inputs will cause the plane to yaw out of vertical and I can keep it near a more natural state of flight for a few moments and then I'm back to vertical. Kind of cool looking on the screen but I'm glad I'm not experiencing that reality. I'm not sure a…

I have Flight Deck Three and was wondering how you move the USS George Washington aircraft carrier? I want to put it off "Yankee Station" Viet Nam. This option is not available defaulted.Thanks for the help in advance.Regards,

Whenever I check the framerates on FS2002 I get the actual framerates with a note that "(framerates locked at 30fps)". Is this a default setting or is there something I need to do to get maximum framerates?
