Hi Sam, the BAE-32 dosn't have a FMS

Maybe you need to check here: www.x-fmc.com

FMS???? in the Jetstream??? maybe you wanted to go to the CRJ200 support area.

ok

 xmfc is a way to enter waypoints or wor.

 

it does work when i start engines one.

 

gps doesn't (recognize) follow waypoints or vor ndb... when i start cold and dark.

 

Any suggestions ?

Mmm I think you are not understanding... This plane does not have FMC or xFMC or whatever.. if it is working an external FMC then that is not the proper way to fly the plane because you are having an extra help is not in the real plane, or at least in this plane. So forget about input of waypoints.

 

The GPS is normal GPS of xplane. I don't used too much. Only for direct to airports. Never chosed VORs or NDBs.. so if the default one doesn't choose them, this aircraft is not going to do neither because the gps used is the default one. 

There is a RealityXP option with real Garmin GPS that will try to insert in future. But only for windows.

 

The proper way to manage this plane in navigation is manually.. with at least a VOR following navigation. So you have to be choosing one by one the vors, ndbs in the radios.. and following with the HSI.. like it was done old days.. (and even today, because this plane is still flying, and fly as said without any computer, and there are some of them that even they don't have GPS inside).

Hi sam, if I understand you correctly, you've been able to use the X-FMC plug-in with the Javier's BAE-32 no problems when you start engines running (when Javiers BAe-32/X-plane initalises all the aircraft systems), but when "you" start X-Plane "Cold and Dark", "you" have problems with this X-FMC plug-in?

I suspect that your not getting the aircraft systems into the same state (as "engines running") i.e. "you", the pilot have not switched all the correct switches (most likely the ones on the GPS or A/P or connected to some sub-system that Javier's BAe-32/X-Plane auto inialises when started "engines running").

Hello,

 

As part of the X-FMC team dev, I would suggest strongly to remove some internal features like VNAV and ATHR...

You can still use the LNAV function since it's only playing with HDG knob but depends if HDG dataref is from X-Plane or custom).

 

Using X-FMC with a plane is not PnP (Plug n Play), you need to input the correct data, work on the config file a bit before going further...

 

Well if you have any issue, please ask the community if anyone is interested to help you... (go to our official website...)

 

Cheers
