  1. After some more searching i think, this is intended in the 733.  I would assume the ALT INTV in the NGX does exactly that and in the 733 i would have had to reset the alt in the FMC.  
    If you think about it more it kinda makes sense because if the plane needs to climb further it would need to pitch up significantly to reduce the speed to the CLB constraint and then accelerate again. in that regard it does make sense. 

  2. ahh thank you, so i guess my confusion was caused by a wrong assumption :)

    but just to understand what you wrote in your example. if you level off at 3000, would the plane accelarte to cruising speed  or use the constraint set in CLB page ?

    I guess that was my question in my case because i was on the assumption that when you level off the plane accelerates to cruising speed (.75)  and not use the 280/.72 CLB constraint it had set. 

  3. I just noticed something and was wondering if this is intended behaviour of the plane.

    I was doing a normal flight from Baltimore to Austin planned FL 360.  Everything went normal nothing unusal. During the climb i made an error however and set the cruising alt in mcp at 35400. This went unnoticed to me.

    So i am cruising along and then i noticed that i am flying a little bit slow (.72) i look on the display and CRZ is displayed. So i go into the CRZ page and see that the crz speed should be .75, i change the value the fmc accepts it but nothing happens. Now i am really wondering and try to figure out what is wrong, i change the CI and the plane accelerates albeit not to the set speed. So now i am really looking what is wrong, i then click on the CLB page and see the speed constraint active. But when i look at the display above the engines it say CRZ.  So i quickly realize that my ALT is not correctly, i change it the plane climbs to 36k and everything works perfect.

    Now i know this was my error, but i found it confusing that the plane is adhering to the CLB page, allthough it displays the CRZ mode.  Is this intentional ?

  4. no,  i have a 500gb ssd where currently everything is on. Now i am buying a 10TB HDD for ortho.  Of course i can keep x-plane on the SSD, but the speed benefit you get in x-plane from a SSD is mainly from loading the orthos, scenery and mesh (that what takes 90% of the loading time).  If i move it to a HDD then the speed benefit will be gone. SO for maybe 30 seconds loading time (instead of 4 minutes) that i would save when i use the dual solutions (SSD +HDD) it is not worth it to use the space. (Especially if you dont have alot in the first place.

    When the sim is running you will mainly acess the HDD only anyways to load the new tiles in so there is no direct benefit from the SDD. Well any benefit that would be is throttled down by the HDD.  I hope it is a little bit more clear :)

  5. I finally ordered a 10TB hdd for my ortho fix, and now will move my complete x-plane installation on that disk :)

    Now if i move the x-aviation planes with the folder, i know that the DRM will kick off. Since i will add a HDD into my PC anyway, i assume that i need to reactivate all planes regardless.
    What is the best way to do it ? Uninstall all planes before, then reinstall afterwards ? Or can i simply let it reactivate ?  

  6. I think as a german, maestro should be enough as it is basically the "ec-karte" in germany. Allthough paypal does offer "lastschriftverfahren" and other wire methods.

     

    I guess the reason he asks is because it is rather hard to aquire a credit card in germany if you are under 18 and in general they are not really that popular as in other countries of the world.

  7. Kris,

     

    I believe we have found a possible issue where this may occur.  It is possible that if you have you hardware setup for other aircraft they are setting some X-Plane datarefs inappropriately.  As a workaround I would disconnect the hardware prior to using the Saab.   There are some fixes in the next update that should resolve this issue.

    That sounds very plausible, i am using saitek thottles aswell. might be the common ground from everyone experiencing the issue

  8. I use to run xpx (10.36) with plugins : uhd mesh v3, w2xp, some photosceneries, xnoaa, some airport and xsb (vatsim).

     

    all together or with only one of their with a plane like Saab 340, Beech 1900 CAR, JAR (A332) for exemple.

     

    All settings of skymaxx are at lower positions.

     

    yesterday i tried to fly LFML LIMC fith times, i only succed one after uninstall skymaxx

     

    Skymaxx can t work with those plugins xpx stops to run (black screen), or some diamond with colors like rainbow.

     

    My PC is not bad : i7 3.4, 8GO RAM, GTX760, SSD.

     

    So sadly i decide to uninstall skymaxx.

     

    i wait for next version which il hope will be compatible with my plugins (or some of them)

     

    best regards

     

    The developer of UHD Mesh clearly states that you should not even try using them with less than 16gigs of ram as it is just a guess if or how it will run. The Malpensa Airport is on the border of the alps and will crush your PC with the UHD Mesh ;) Secondly your 760 will probably have 2gig of ram at the most. Using the Saab, UHD, and Photoscenery will get you swapping sooner than later. My guess is that your GPU will start swapping and everything goes down from there. Try looking at your vram usage with nvidia inspector.

  9. At Sydney Airport at least, REX Airlines don't park nose to gate (from what I have seen).  They park parallel to the gate.

     

    yeah i try to find spots away from the gates aswell as it makes it easier :)

     

    got thinking mainly because of an youtube video of the estonian saab340 and they preformed a powerback.

     

     

    at the 5 minute mark you can see the manover. it is still frightening however to be so familiar in the cockpit when you watch a video :)

  10. Is it possible to power back in the Saab ? I have seen videos of the Saab doing it in real life but for some reason it wont work in x-plane. The reversers will stop my plane but never reverse it. I am unsure wether this is possible at all or there is some issue on my part ?

  11. just to chime in, i have had this problem a few times ( 5 times out of 100), but sofar it is not reproducable for me.  i do everything by the checklist and then i start the engine and the temp starts rising to 30 degree and just stops but the sound will continue and then stay at a constant level, like there is no fuel injection though. this happens to always one engine not both. I stop the start procedure and the other engine will start normally. However the faulty engine wont start no matter what i try. I have to reload the airplane and it will work 100% everytime.

     

    It does happen very rarely and while i can't rule out that i did something wrong on the startup, i go by the virtual checklist everytime. I will try to figure out some reproduction steps, if it happens the next time. But like I said it does happen rarely for me.

  12. I have to say, the fps increase is a blast. On my system i was constantly gettin 20-22 fps with the saab, but 30 with the flightfactor t7. I always thought that there was some potential left. Now I am getting 30-31 fps with the Saab at the Airport and I love it. 30% increase is amazing :D I thought we get a modest fps increase, but this makes this plane my absolute favorite again (until the ixeg is released :) )
