I've just gone round Birmingham and it works fine, with not winds or turbulance.. I'm guessing it has to be smooth (Not a bunch of turbulance etc) air for it to work and no more than 10kts of crosswind?.. You'll have to excuse my ignorance on that then.. I rarely use Autoland but just been experimenting with it, just in case I need it. Seems I've opened up some interesting areas with that, as in I have read that there is a bunch of criteria to be met when doing a full auto land (Which makes sense.) Cheers for double checking though. Often too easy to be lulled into thinking something isn't right, cos someone else thinks so, I feel better now. The whole flight model thing stemmed from this but I already learned when to cut power at different flap settings or correctly trim the aircraft. I will accept that It's most likely user error.

I do not see any problem with it.

Looking good to me, how the dual channel autoland working for you?.. I might be missing something.. I'll try again mi self in a bit with it.

@Vanadeo I just flew a pattern at TXKF with about 50 tons of weight (just under max landing weight), using flaps 40 and autobrake 3 for landing. The Vref was 131 and the Vtgt was 136 (no wind). On the replay it looks like the autobrake was disarmed at landing, but this was due to it being replay... I don´t feel that the nosewheel is coming down hard at all - if you are using autobrakes, the deceleration (especially at higher settings) sets in almost instantly and the resultant deceleration force will make the plane pitch down (like a car slamming the brakes also pitches down).

Cheers Jan!.. I love the 73 classic a lot.

I will doublecheck those areas you mention

Not really, no .. I think for the most part it does feel fine, flies great. I'll be honest Jan, the fact that I am asking over a flight model update above anything else should at least put a smile on your face, maybe you should perhaps ask what areas I think are not quite right. I'm not saying it's bad.. I dunno you're the bloody 737 pilot, tell me that a 737 looses elevator authority, flaps 40 during flare. I literally cut power at 10foot now and that helps, could be right, I dunno. Either occasion as soon as the main gear touch down the nose wheel hits firm (Found that to be when autobrakes kick in) .. Could be correct, then other aircraft don't seem to be as abrupt. I'm having issue with dual channel autoland.. tried different airports, either slams me into the ground or I'm way off from centreline, never did this before. Folk crying over opening doors and textures and specific sounds, Yet I come along and mention a flight model update and I get ridiculed xD.. Might just be some tweaking needed.. All of what I am experiencing now.. I never had an issue with a year ago maybe or with XP11 for sure. Otherwise I wouldn't say owt.. you can keep your opening doors, FMOD, shaking engines, waving pilots.. etc... Ugh I'm having another beer/... Merry christmas.

On 12.4.0-b1, using a Mac Studio. All 3 versions of the BN2-T have loaded with no problem. I'm, sadly, still waiting for Coop to answer me about my problem with the GNS 530s version of his otherwise wonderful Citation 525 :-(

How do I know I am using Simheaven scenery ?

Log.txtJust have the same problem. Restarting the sim now. Here is the log for reference

My Islander has finally loaded in game and has not crashed as of writing this. I have not flown it just get but I am idle and parked in the normal avionics variant, with default livery. Previously I could not load any version so for now I am happy at least one of the three seems ok. Here's what I did: - I was running XP 12.3.3 (I hesitated to update because of reports that the new update gave performance drops in frames per second) - I updated my XP to 12.4.0-b1 - uninstalled the Islander, deleted all the X-aviation folders - re-downloaded the installer from store - reinstalled the islander Will report back after checking to see if the other two variants load.

Seeing as it's randomly happening, I'd say it's something to do with your system or setup. If it was a problem with the CL650, it would be happening every time you load it. Try removing other 3rd party plugins and see if that helps.

Problem is back - meanwhile also updated NVIDIA driver to most current one, no joy.

No I don’t have, every single other aircraft is working fine

Please, I need help. I want to export the object to the X-Plain program from Blender 5, but I don't want any effect on it (light, shadow) or for other objects around it to be affected by it, in the game

I actually did have a look for documentation on the 2000. There's not much floating around, unfortunately.

Check your ticket. There was a response, I’ve been told. Maybe your email provider marked it as junk.

Good evening, I need help entering ATC information into the MCDU of the Laminar a330-300. Situation: Flying in Germany. Contacted ATC of an airport and requested ILS approach to say RWY 10 of EDDN. Autopilot is engaged and following the entered flight plan. ATC instructs me to head to "NUB.I10". I found the VOR NUB which is located in the vicinity of the runway. Guessing that I(ndia)10 is some kind of fix, I read about how to enter a fix related to a VOR (NUB in this case). A radial seemed to make sense to me even though it most probably will not be rounded to tenths. However, the autopilot turns away from the runway as I approach the radial 100. I either mess up the programming or, more likely, don't know what I am doing at all :/ Could also bei both. Since I don't find any information or tutorial in which such instruction appears, I hope to find help here. Gruß Franz

I was about to take this up with Laminar, but I was updating my Airfoillabs KIngair 350, when I remembered that it does have dual GNS530s - I had forgotten that this was another example of such a set up. Anyway, I had a look at the GPS version, and the two 530s work perfectly - VORs identified, frequencies work and the radials and distances are displayed as they should be. So, I must conclude that if the Kingair works properly, but the 525 doesn't, it is not a Laminar problem. Please can Coop or whoever take another look at this?

Way to treat your customers for a intent to pay $125 !

Sorry I can not provide a better solution at this time - I also talked to Tom, and he also said that there is no quick fix for this, it seems to be an artifact of the volumetric lighting effect.

Thanks Jan, Your help is greatly appreciated!

As much as I can understand the wish for some update to this feature or that - if someone wants "a flight model update" it makes me think he just wants an update because updates are cool (and perceived as additional value). Something that is fine does not need an update.

Think about it. A developer recreates one of history's most popular jets and, for years, keeps it updated to the point where it becomes an icon. Then all of a sudden, the dev stops producing updates. He tells us why, but secretly, we know rather than working, he's somewhere sipping Pina Coladas on some beach in the south Atlantic (probably listening to Margaritaville). Nooo, he's not fooling us, we know what he means when he says he's dealing with skins . Obviously, I'm being facetious. I believe Tom when he says he's bogged down on a project for Laminar Research. I believe he's rewriting the documentation, which I can hardly wait to get my hands on - I want to begin a study in WED and make some changes to some airports. I also know how, when confronted with multiple tasks, splitting attention among them may cause one or all of 'em to be lacking. I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't continue posting our wish list, like asking for the whistle sound. I believe I recall that changing the sounds to Fmod is on the roadmap for this aircraft. I might have a few suggestions to post here in the near future. Like most human beings, patience is not an innate trait. It's one of those things we have to practice, especially when we know that someone, somewhere, is sipping Pina Coladas rather than working.

You’ll just have to keep waiting. Don’t keep sending tickets.
