  1. What file to edit for N number?

    in British Aerospace Jetstream 32

    Posted

    I took a look at the Cockpit_Seats.png but that is not a good location for the N Number. 

    See attached, the JS32 N Number location.PNG  screen shot shows the main panel I have set up for most of the flying.

    Is there any way to put the N Number in this area, even if it is weird location like window frame on the left?

     

    I also tried to put the number as red circle show on Cockpit_Main with N Number.PNG but I guess it is not mapped tp the area I thought it was , left upper corner of the cockpit.

     

    Javier, it is not a necessity but if you do not mind pointing me in the right area of the cockpit file, I would give it a try.

     

    Thank you,. Cheers, AJ

  4. Bells and whistles

    in British Aerospace Jetstream 32

    OK, thank you glasscockpits.

     

    Something very weird happened .... all work now as far as reply mode, no bells and whistles.

     

    "Sparky" just edited his great plugin for Saitek panels, I downloaded it and replaced the old one with the new one.

     

    I have tried few times, I shut the engine down and it still worked without bells and whistles.. :D

     

    Maybe it was related.

     

    Give it a try and let us know.

  16. [SOLVED] Turning to Mach mode by accident and it's consequences

    in Canadair CRJ-200

    Posted

    Hi Cameron and Javier,

     

    It is not a criticism at all but rather a intention to avoid frustration and time waste for those who might not know about it.

     

    After recent Keith's response about CRJ2 SPEED mode, I make things work fine and was very happy to enjoy the newest release of the plane 1.5.2 , I believe.

     

    Last night I received email to update CL30 by DDen whic I did. I flew the plane , all good.

     

    Then I went back to CRJ2 to make my flight .... boom, not only SPEED mode does not work, I can not make the autopilot to strat flying the plane. When I try to set the SPEED to any value using SPEED know, the value shows momentarily and then it is set to 0, no matter what I do, that probably initiates the autopilot problem.

     

    I was really mad, I did not touch CRJ2 at all, I just installed update to a different plane and CRJ2 got messed up. I think anybody would get mad.

     

    THEN, it stroke me, I have read somewhere in the forums that there is a bug in CRJ2  that I think will be fixed in the future releases, I think it was Cessna729 showing the workaround for this problem.

     

    When you fly the plane using Mach mode, exit the plane still in Mach mode and then load CRJ2 , you might experience the problem I described above.

     

    I think that since it was nit just me and it was confirmed by others , if the problem is not going to be fixed, I strongly recommend to add a note about it in the release notes and maybe email that tells about the update.

     

    It would definitely save a lot of frustration and time for guys like me who would not knowingly enter Mach mode and then try to fly CRJ2.

     

    Other than that, I want to say thank you again for both excellent product , CRJ2 and JS32, the best planes in my opinion for X-Plane so far. :D

     

    Thank you for reading.

     

    Cheers, AJ  :)

     

     

     

     

     

     

  18. Cabin Pressurization

    in British Aerospace Jetstream 32

    Posted

    Thank you very much, Intrance, I think I pretty much understand now what is going on.

     

    One last question ( I know, it supposed to be the last one in previous reply, sorry  :P )

     

    Picking the lowest option for cabin altitude is dictated by passenger comfort?

    The higher the cabin altitude, the lower the pressure so we just do not want the passengers to experience like they were hiking in the mountains, correct?

     

    Cheers, AJ 

  19. Cabin Pressurization

    in British Aerospace Jetstream 32

    Hi Intrance,  :)

     

    I think, I am finally getting the idea, I think.... :D

     

    This is how I understand it, please let me know if I am wrong.

     

    1.Pressure decreases with altitude and a particular altitude has corresponding pressure as on the chart you attached.

     

    2. There is a number not be be exceeded as far as maximum differential pressure which is 5.5 psi.

     

    3. Since while climbing , the outside pressure will decrease ,we need to adjust the cabin pressure so the maximum differential pressure stays  in 0.0 - 5.5 psi.

     

    Assuming that above statement are correct, I would do following steps to set my cabin altitude:

     

     

     

    I will be flying at FL250:

    A. I would take the level I will be flying at , for this example 25,000 which would give outside pressure of 5.45 psi.

    B. Since the range of the cabin altitude is 1000-8000, if I set cabin pressure to 8000 , corresponding  pressure is 10.91 and resulting differential pressure is 10.91-5.45 = 5.46 psi which is still in the allowed maximum differential pressure range 0.0 - 5.5 psi.

     

    Now I want to fly at 15,000'

    A. I would take the level I will be flying at , for this example 15,000  which would give outside pressure of 8.29 psi.

    B . If I set cabin pressure to 8000 with corresponding pressure of 10.91, resulting differential pressure is 10.91-8.29 = 2.62 psi  which is  in the allowed maximum differential pressure range 0.0 - 5.5 psi.

    C. If I set cabin pressure to 2000 ( the minimum pressure to keep the allowed maximum differential pressure range 0.0 - 5.5 psi.) , similar calculations will give me 13.66-8.29 = 5.37 psi.

     

    Now question for a $1,000,000.... :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

     

    I know now that for the example with 15,000' I can set my cabin pressure between 2000 -8000.

     

    How do I know what number between 2000 and 8000 to pick?

     

    It is getting much  more clear now.  :)

     

    Thank you, Intrance, will be waiting for that last answer and leave the subject alone.

     

    Cheers, AJ 

  20. Cabin Pressurization

    Thank you for the response , Intrance but I still have a question.

     

    The upper two gauges are cabin pressure gauges and just show cabin rate of climb/descend, cabin altitude and differential pressure with exterior.

     

    My question is about the CABIN PRESSURE CONTROL gauge.

    With CABIN ALT know we can adjust cabin pressure from 1000 to 10,000 FEET

     

    Question 1: On the gauge we can see AIRPLANE ALT. AT MAX DIFF.   What that means and how it relates to what we see on the gauge display?

     

    Question 2: I want to fly at 20,000'  what number do I set on CABIN PRESSURE CONTROL gouge using CABIN ALT knob?

     

    I have to admit that the whole subject is still confusing to me, sorry.

     

    Cheers, AJ 

  21. Apologies for Cameron and Javier

    Keith, I know you are reading these forums.... :)

     

    You "saved my life" couple of time since we met .... and you did it AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

     

    I made several test for take with CRJ2 this time I had FD ON, SPEED mode on and HD mode ON. The speed is automatically set to 100 in this configuration.

     

    I took off, positive rate of climb, gear up, autopilot on at 600 AGL and when I reached the speed I wanted to continue my climb ( around 160-170 KIAS), I hit the Speed Synchronize knob and everything went perfect.

     

    I tried several times, at different airports and with engines running as well as from dark and cold, PERFECT!!!!

     

    Thank you so very much!

     

    Cheers, AJ  :D
