Alright. It worked out Now i have a real buzzing a340 Thanks for your help!!!

Ok, thanks for the fast response. I am trying it out right now and i will report you my results

A wonderful saturday evening I am creating new sounds for the Samen A340-300. And for those who have already flown on a A340, you might have noticed that when the engine runs over 95% you hear a buzzing sound. Now i want to recreate this in X plane. I have the normal engine sounds and the buzz sound. I want to add the buzzing like in Michael's Boeing 767 when your engines run at max. i looked into the 767 files and there is the sound named "afterburner". So i named my buzz sound also "afterburner". But how do you add this sound to the aircraft in plane maker? And how do you set a certain % when the afterburner starts. Waiting for some good responses, SwissCyul

It's again Long-haul weekend!!!! This time: Zurich-Bangkok/ Bangkok-Sydney on the A340-300

So you connected the iMac to the 27" monitor via thunderbolt to VGA/hdmi adapter. You have to arrange both monitors in the iMac settings side by side. Then you just pull the X plane Window with the arrows (not in full screen) until you filled in both monitors. Hope that helps, SwissCyul

Oh, yeah forgot to mention that

Alright I hope you will find your way through

You set your altitude with the altitude knob. Then you press ALT SEL to indicate the plane you want to go there. To climb or descent you can either use Vertical speed or IAS. For VS you click the VS button and then turn the wheel in the middle to set your VS you want. When you have reached your wanted altitude and have ALT SEL switched on VS will turn off and your plane will level off. For IAS it's the same. Select ALT SEL and then press IAS. With the wheel in the middle you can change the speed you want. Then to control the pitch, you simply reduce or increase power. When you have reached your wanted altitude IAS will turn off and your plane will level off. This all is of course only possible when the AP is turned on

When you are cruising and you want to descent, you first slow down to about 230 knots. Then you start your descent. Never go beyond -3000 vertical speed!!!!! The real Q400 would not survive a -5000 descent!!!!! While descending leave throttles in flight idle and Prop lever in minimum. Never activate reverse while flying!!! You will end up stalling. And the speed brakes are only ground spoilers. They don't extend in flight, because you would never need them. And on landing they are not to slow down, just to keep the aircraft from going in the air again. Hope that helps, SwissCyul

Now some are saying that the two passengers with stolen passports were secret agents… Sounds ridiculous to me. But if the plane broke apart in mid-air, that would at least explain why the radar showed something so strange. Maybe the loss of speed and the turning were the last seconds of the ELT before it smashed into 1000 pieces.

The stuff they found on the water was wood, as said by the aviation safety network. So still no sign…

No chance, because the plane went done over the south china sea. Thats about 1000 km away from North Korea. But if we are hoping for a miracle, then there might be a chance of the plane being hijacked and flown to someplace we don't know.

Thats also true. This crash looks like a mix between AF447 and SWR111…

For me this looks more like the project oblivion 737-500…

Guys, i only wrote what i think. They did say that they are not sure if the "Oil slicks" are really oil slicks. If they are it looks like the plane has dumped fuel, or?

Swiss flight LX188 from Zurich to Shanghai-Pudong with an A340-300. Take-off at dusk, flying through the night and landing at 6:15 local time at dawn. Real flight time: 10 hours and 42 minutes/ My flight time: 4 hours and 30 minutes (2x ground speed )

The volcanic ash theory is indeed not really possible. I am starting to thing that it was a terrorist attack. I thought that they didn't get the ELT signal. The bizarre fact is that they didn't find any debris in the ocean. If someone had a really powerful bomb on board, and it detonated at 30 000 feet, there would be nothing found on the ground. This is a really crazy case…

Maybe something new: -Aircraft had a ground collision at Shanghai Pudong Airport in 2012, part of the right wing was ripped off -before radar contact loss the aircraft dropped 200 meters and then performed a 180 degree turn, after that the signal was gone -last contact was about 223km SW from the Vietnamese coast

It is not really impossible. There are a ton of unanswered questions. We don't know what happened. So we can't say that this is impossible or possible. First of all they need to find the wreckage. The only clue where the plane is located, is a about 150 km long oil trace on the ocean.

The flight profile shows a sudden loss in speed, then a turn off course, then back on course. After that it disappeared from the radar screen.

I think that theory with the volcano ash sounds like a possible explanation for me. If the flight crashed into the sea, they will have to do a really big search and rescue operation. This reminds me a little bit of the Air France flight 447 A330-200 crash 4 years ago.

The aircraft was on route since 2 hours when the atc controllers lost contact. So i guess it was cruising…

I hope we get more news tomorrow(I have a direct contact to the Icao safety department). If they get something new i will tell you guys.

That would be the first serious 777 crash in history… And i doesn't look good right now. The most important question right now is, if the T7 crashed over the South China sea or land.

Hello simmers, today i was on my way from Zurich to Montreal with the Samen A330-300. The jet stream was really far south so i flew in the middle of the atlantic, where obviously no X Plane scenery is installed/available. So i left off from my last waypoint to cross the atlantic, and after about 1 hour the route disappeared from the Navigation display and the GPS points(since there are no WPT where no scenery is…) i had entered where not there anymore. Also the Autopilot couldn't follow my real route anymore because it was gone. So i had to fly over the ocean with heading mode, hoping that i come out somewhere over canada. That worked out this time and i came right over Goose bay and could find my way back to my route. But this can't be the case. Is it somehow possible to fly in "non-existent" x plane scenery with GPS points to your next "existent" waypoint? Else i would have to take a route that is that far north, so there is still scenery under my cockpit. Attached is the Brief package for this flight. The maps are in the last pages. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks, SwissCyul
