Hi, standing in EDDS and going to LSGG my first WP is the SUL Vortac if I choose this I got 2 to choose one but both do have the wrong frequenz 116.00 and 117.00 it must be 116.10 if I choose one of them I get a distance from 1700nm. It does not matter which I choose both are wrong. If I start my route at the next WP and choose a SUL SID then it is ok. But it should not be like that?! This is strange cause I find in the navaids file of rollon planes only one SUL Regards Tom

@floyd and inspired - do you are using KLN90B and is the KLN90B database in your XP folder? Regards Tom

Javier, altough there are good framerates I have little very rythmically shuttering - I had something similar when testing the KLN90B the plugin was scanning all the time the huge database which is located in the xp mainfolder like the crj database - and this scanning resulted in shuttering even with high framerates. I decided to make a new topic cause it seems their are others with similar problems. Regards Tom GTX285 / 8GB Ram / win7 64 / i7 8cores

Hi is is possible to hide the yoke - if not I would kindly like to ask for it in the next patch. I could not find it in the manual - maybe I lost it... Kind Regards Tom

Do not be angry I pointed something out and told clearly that I am not sure how the real one works - and phillip just told me what the real one is and what he has to do to match the real thing. And if the real thing has only Vnav advise then the Vnav advise will be ok - some with fuel, thrust TO speeds etc. Kind Regards Tom

So this is it. I can promise you I will enhance the holdings and work on improving the turn anticipation issue (the root cause of the A/P struggling with the red line). But I won't give you stuff the real CRJ, as for my documentation, can't do, and this is a completely automated VNAV descent. --- no of course not - if there is no then not - as I said I do not know the ral one... Regarding the manipulators: Javier already wrote something about this. Basically, we are struggling with X-Plane pecularities here. Regarding assignable custom commands, I will compile a dataref list for cockpit builders and other hardware enthusiasts. Every single switch in the CRJ is tied to a custom dataref, and I will open them for cockpit builders. However, 99% of the users out there are flying with joystick and mouse, so mouse manipulation is what we care about. Custom commands for hardware with a gazillion switches is less important to the average user, so it is a lower priority on my list. Expect me re-visiting this topic only AFTER I sorted out the bugs in the pinned list. Cheers, Philipp thnx for your anser Regards Tom

The display frames are textures you find in the JRollonPlanes/CRJ-200 folder (under X-Plane main). If you rename the DisplayFrame.tiff to example DisplayFrame.tiff.backup they won't get loaded anymore. If you want them back, just rename them back. Philipp EDIT: I just remembered we switched to TGA textures for the Mac. So if you are on Mac just do the same as I said above, but with .tga instead of .tiff. In future, we will only use the TGA textures to be consistent. me dummy I was looking in the plane as usual :-) regards tom

Hi Javier, you mentioned a possibillity to hide the big frames of the popup 2D displays. But it seems you did chenge something after writing the tutorial. Please tell us what to do. Regards Tom

Dear CRJ Team, hm - now I had time to look a bit closer to this plane - I was really waiting for this and the custom FMC. Earlier I had some discussions with Cameron about using the UFMC in this plane. he mentioned UFMC would be unnecessary cause the CRJ200 will have its own custom FMC. - Now we have it and as far as I see this CRJ200 FMC has: no TO speed calculation, no fuel calculation, no Vapp / Vref calculation, no TOD calculation, no Vnav calculation and no guiding or advise, and the holdings are only left or right no headings and no holding time - did I forget something? I have to say I do not know the real one - but it should have what I mentioned above. It is much better as the default this for sure. Maybe the CRJ Team is working on this and they just wanted to release the plane cause the community was waiting so badly - but it is not the plane which was promised - not yet. - There are other things I like very much - most is that you reached the goal of good framerates. I am really surprised what is possible if the cores of my machine are working. normally I have in XP only 2 full, 2 half and 4 cores sleeping - now they all are working. This is great!! - Altough there are good framerates I have little very rythmically shuttering - I had something similar when testing the KLN90B the plugin was scanning all the time the huge database which is located in the xp mainfolder like the crj database - and this scanning resulted in shuttering even with high framerates. - The aligning of the autopilot has to be done the plane is really struggeling to catch the red line with high speed. - For this new pricing level I think we may ask for fully working features - at minimum so deep as other authors build their addons. - some manipulators are very hardly to move - this can better. - we need custom keystrokes / joystickbuttons for manipulating a lot of things example HSI source / map resolution / map I better stopp it here maybe we should make a list in another topic. Time will show...anyway it is a big effort to build such a plane and I say thanks to this team it is a very good start. Kind Regards Tom

Of course they are... The THROTTLE levers must be at the 0% detent for the reverser toggle to work - the RPM of the engines is completely unimportant. Hi Phillip, I recognized that the throttle_ratio jumps from 0.0 to 0.01 in the moment you push the revers_thrust_toggle button. It does not mattter if I have a greater zerozone or not. maybe here is the problem somewhere. Regards Tom

Thnx would be cool to get this fixed. No much time today for that bird - but what I liked immediately is the point of view in this VC! Regards Tom

Javier, really only with the mouse? This isn´t very cool. It does not help if I move the throttle with my hardware throttle? There is no way to manipulate thrust reverse with hardwarde as in all other planes. Hmmm why??? Regards Tom

Hi Javier and Crew, you mentioned to use a hardware button for thrust reverser toggle. I assigned the same as I am using all the time. But the reverse only opens - I cannot close it again -it is not a toggle it stays open. Did not read the cmplete manual yet - so if there is a description later - sorry then. Otherwise it seems to be a default XP command and this should work. Regards Tom No other plugin installed win7 / 64 8GB RAM XP6.69

maybe it is sold out already! Cheers

hi out there, did anybody tried to get the EADT GPS/FMS KLN90B Freeware working with the MENTOR. The MENTOR has installed this GPS but infact here it is an default XPLANE GPS. The EADT KLN90B http://www.eadt.eu/index.php?New-EADT-project-KLN90B-GPS-Device which has the same capabillities as the real one would bring a nice appreciation to the MENTOR. But as this KLN90B freeware is based on the SASL plugin which does not work with GIZMO - I am not sure if it works with the mentor and Javiers plugin (even Javiers plugin is no GIZMO). Regards Tom

I know I was beta testing this GPS - but I do not want to buy the MENTOR without knowing if the EADT KLN90B works. Regards

Hi Javier, did you implement in the CRJ200 the possibillity to adress custom commands which you made to keystrokes or/and joystick buttons so that the plane can operated in important features via hardware like saitek / Vrinsight etc. Kind Regards Tom

Yes the bullshit you are talking of is the waste of the bullshit money - I am not a programmer I am a damned bullshit user who did a bullshit donation....to you Thank you very much

Please don't post false assumptions. Gizmo works just fine with the UFMC, and always has. I use these two as a combo on a daily basis. Cameron, intersting that you are able to use GIZMO and UFMC - please tell me which plane you are using with GIZMO and UFMC as a combo - I want to try and see what happens on my system. Regards Tom

Please don't post false assumptions. Gizmo works just fine with the UFMC, and always has. I use these two as a combo on a daily basis. Hi Cameron - please read again - this is more a question! The statement is that I have much more problems with GIZMO then with SASL - and this is true in my case! Regards Tom

I found a strange behaviour when using UFMC by javier cortes - after a while of climb all of the sudden the mixture_ratio closes and of course the engines stopps - I tried this several times and I found this only with using UFMC - I do not know but I feel there is a compatability problem with GIZMO. I think this might be really the problem. So what we have for now is a new DASH8 Q400 payware for very proud € 28,30 or $ 40,00 which does not work with vasFMC, not with UFMC, not with KLN90B - maybe with xreality GPS (with outdated data, or maybe with FTS garmin only in USA) So for now we have to use the nice xplane default FMC with a custom button layout..... I feel that this model is a very beta model for a very proude price. Not a very good idea like this! Regards Tomski ******************************************* Hi Benn, please tell me why is the GIZMO plugin not compatible with the UFMC of Javier Cortez - no way to use the UFMC with the new Dash8 driven by GIZMO - but maybe it is not a GIZMO problem it is more a problem of the script for GIZMO - I do not know. What I know is that I have problems if the GIZMO occurs - never with the SASL plugin. Reagards Tobs

Thanks Cameron this is a good message. Tom
