    I'd have to see the entire route you entered

    Tyler,

    Of course.... now it will not reproduce - all is good.  I did use XP11.11 this time.

    In case you want to play with it, the route is from KORF runway 05 - course setting 49 to KIAD runway 01C - NAV 111.30 course setting 11.  Short route which I fly often (at FL160) with a flight time of about 35 minutes.

    The route is:  KORF (No SID or TRANS) LUFSY PLUMO DENBY COATT OGATE FALCO BRV BARIN LUSIE PEPRR CARRY SKINS RW01C (INTC) FDC

    The arrival at KIAD uses SID - COATT4 and no trans with LUSIE and PEPRR added to provide a long glide slope.

    Sorry in a way that it will not reproduce, but happy that it now seems to be working - for no explainable reason.  As I had stated - sometimes it does - sometimes it doesn't, but until today, I had not tried it with 11.20VR3.  I do not use VR by the way.

    Thanks for the attention as I have always received from X-Aviation.

  10. Has current major Win 10 update broken IXEG 734?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    This last Windows 10 update has been a real mess.  It removed my key for X-Plane, which must have been on the C drive somewhere.  It also screwed with Gizmo and that only required the removal of the "marker.1" line.  It also reorganized my USB ports which required some re-assigning of controllers.  It always removes things such as MS Office 2007, which seems counter-intuitive as it is a Microsoft program.  I probably haven't found all the problems yet.

  11. 1.21

    As a flightsimmer for many (some say too many - ProLogic days) years, I would only say that if it were possible to go to your computer and order an aircraft (any aircraft - not just IXEG) and it would suddenly download at your local airport (the real aircraft), the criticism would start to materialize within an hour of the time the purchaser entered the aircraft.  I think the work of this team and many others goes above and beyond.  Yes, there are some who have produced and sold junk - we have all bought some of that - but, most of the vendors have given us value and that certainly applies to Cameron and team.

    Thanks guys.  I, for one, appreciate your headaches and will enjoy whatever you give us ... whenever that happens ... and until then, am thoroughly enjoying the current version.

  12. X-Plane 11.10 beta is close

    Yes, I can properly flare this plane (you saw my video) and Austin is considering the ground effect on the stabilizer fixed at this point, and so do I.

    There is probably something wrong with your joystick settings or the way you set the CG, the airspeed you land at or the something else.

    I can fly and land the plane just fine and it does not handle much differently in the landing than the real aircraft did for me.

    Cheers, Jan

     

    In Ben’s blog re b5, he mentions the updating of flight characteristics by opening aircraft in Plane Maker, saving, and thus getting the latest.  I have done this with several aircraft, including the IXEG 737, and it seems to help - certainly hasn’t hurt.  This apparently will be the procedure for updating flight characteristics of aircraft now if I understand him correctly.

  15. Take Command! Saab 340A v1.4 Update Released!

    I just want to let you guys know that you have at least one customer who is happy that you are actively working to bring your excellent product up to date.

    I am enjoying your work and look forward to whatever you can bring to the platform - after all, we bought an XP-10 aircraft and you are working to make it work across another completely different program just because you care about your customers.

    Thanks,

    John

    I just lost 30 min of my planned test flights today.

    Personally, having just purchased this beautiful aircraft, I think you guys have done a wonderful job and my purchase was after having read that you were going to make it an XP-11 bird.  I have XP-10, but I rarely find myself going back and yes, I do see the difference in your aircraft's performance between the two platforms.

    Your pictures look great and I look forward to flying with the modifications, but please don't loose any more time by answering my, or anyone else's, comments.

  18. ILS setup

    in Flight Procedures and Techniques

    Posted

    I put the ILS frequency into N1 and N2 and the runway heading into the CRS windows (both) on the Glareshield panel.

    As you line up with the runway, press the VOR LOC button and then press the APP button.  When you intercept the Glideslope, press the second CMD button and watch your SPD window and begin dialing it down when the speed shows up.  At 30 degrees of flap you should be at 140 MPH (Selected in your approach setup in the FMC).  You should have gear down, auto brakes set,  and spreedbrakes armed as you approach.

  23. GNS430/530

    If you look at the Garmin website, it appears that neither of these have terrain IRL.  They do have other models that show terrain and even the 430/530 might with upgrades, etc.  I believe that 10.40 might offer some updates, but I'm not sure.  Seems that I read it somewhere.  I use igmaphd (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fswidgets-igmaphd/id392590060?mt=8) with mine and it works great - giving sectionals, terrain, road maps, etc.

    would I not get a computer shut down instead

     

    Try just taking the panel off the side of your computer for a test run.  You might even place a fan somewhere that would blow cool air into the case for this trial.  

     

    While the driver roll back and settings seem to help with "stutters", the FRs tend to stay up.  Also, I have never really seen much difference with the "performance" setting, although I have always used the high performance setting.

     

    Your symptoms sound like something is going down during your flight and, in my experience, heat might be the culprit.  If it is, install more chassis fans, and if there is no space for that, I have actually cut a hole in the side panel and installed a fan there which would blow directly on the card.  Any additional fans can create additional dust - depending on your surroundings.  You might find, when you open your case, that a can of air is in order (another potential)!

     

    Good luck with your search.
