  1. Thank you for your diplomatic response. I do and I have.
  2. Greetings. How is this done?
  3. Greetings. After having multiple issues with my Win10 install I elected to take the "upgrade" to Win11. This may not have been my wisest move however it appears I am stuck with it. I am now having numerous issues with controlling the autoflight/autopilot. it simply does not work as it did with Win10. Basically behaving for lack of better words like it is out of control. Selecting on with CMD then nothing else will engage such as HDG, LNAV, VS etc. Have tried all the autopilot engage switches. When selecting FD my side (captain's) is turned on first. The disengage bar is up. Have tried selecting it down then up. No change. Or try selecting HDG, it show selected etc then pressing CMD and then it lights up disconnecting HDG. I'm a retired pilot with some knowledge here so i am bewildered. Admittedly it has been awhile since flying your B737. I did redownload, install and go flying again and no change. I actually went through the Capt Mike Ray manual again last night trying to figure out what i might be doing wrong if the problem was me and not the system as i never flew this machine. With the latest update of XP12 from laminar there is now excessive turbulence in my XP12 and I simply can't find where to turn it off and wonder if this wild turbulence if messing with the autopilot. If anyone knows how to turn it off please share the info. Any assistance will be appreciated. I'd like to buy your citation but need to know first whether the problem is with my Win11 install or something else (perhaps my lack of knowledge). Thanks for any help.
  4. Looking forward to the weather radar. Then I'll buy.
  5. I currently have XP11 & 12, P3dV5 & ^, and MSFS on computer. Yes i have a lot of drive space mainly M.2. New machine last spring after 5 years with the previous one. In the not too distant future XP11 and P3dV5 will be removed as more add-ons are available for others. I like V5 for the aircraft and weather. Wx radar seems to be the best developed on this sim and as a retired Cdn pilot I find for me WX radar adds to the immersion factor. I suspect V6 will end up being just as good. The majestic Dash8 works well and on short final are the Xtreme prototypes Lears and somewhere behind that is the MadDog. Plus for those in Canada there is good add-on scenery from one coast to the other and up into the high arctic. This sim will come together nicely as time goes on. MSFS....The scenery is great and the add-on selection is very good for both aircraft and scenery. that said for me the aircraft are missing something except for those at the top of the food chain without naming them. WX has gotten much better or time. It's good but for me is missing something. XP12....After taking a break from XP12 and spending time on the other sims then coming back to it I am blown away by the aircraft available and some of the add-on scenery. If I had to choose only one sim it would probably be XP12. Different strokes for different folks. A couple OEM aircraft are worth mentioning...the Citation 10 is interesting but having never flown one I can't speak to its accuracy but it seems well done on the whole. The other is the King Air C90. The last years of my career were mainly in a gov't office but I was checked out on the 90, yes the one with the gutless -20/21 engines* modelled here, got upwards of 100 hrs/year including annual Level C/D sim training) and when i first fired up the XP11 demo I was really surprised just how well it was done right down to the cockpit being almost identical to the one I flew (eventually upgraded to the G1000 - I did miss the old analog).Add-on aircraft for XP12 are very good. *Having flown turbine RW in the 70s, 80s I was no stranger to temping out on a warm day and the need to be smooth when extracting max performance available. XP12 does pretty much everything well and I'm really enjoying it. Quite enjoy this 7370300.
  6. I expect sales will be steady and more people become aware of just how good this aircraft is in XP12. The market for "glass cockpit" XP11 & 12 is pretty much saturated with offerings plus there are more than a few who enjoy an analog panel. This creation is well worth the price and the satisfaction is there of operating it well.
  7. Wx radar is something that adds a lot to the immersion for me. I bought this aircraft a couple months ago and while i knew it was good it has become one of my favorites. Just curious how good the wx radar is in XP12. Hope you're getting some riding in.
  8. I just bought this today and have done a couple of short flights and am really impressed. It was a post from this thread that caught my attention. Retired pilot though not on the 737.
  9. Any chance of another invite to Discord please. Sorry to admit I can't find it. Age thing maybe.......
  10. Greetings, Confirm is we have already purchased the XP11 version we may request the XP 12 WIP version? Thanks.
  11. Will the aircraft follow the approach LNAV and the vertical component to be controlled manually by the pilot?
  12. Greetings. Request an invite for the hot start discord please. Thanks.
  13. Where can we find the landing ref speed? Thanks.
  14. Just wondering how it is coming along. I am a recent purchaser and retired pilot who is really impressed by your aircraft. No rush - just curious.....
  15. KirkR, Many thanks for your response. This is a very good creation. Support is excellent. Sharing of info on the forum is great - respectful, just nice helpful people. So glad I dusted off the credit card finally and bought it. Retired pilot so I'm really getting into this machine. All the best, Dave
  16. Got it. Thanks again.
  17. In the challenger how do you turn on synthetic vision?
  18. Used to put a checklist between the throttles so as to not forget.
  19. Many thanks. Lots to learn on this aircraft. Airframe settings for the altimeter…..I didn’t see this selection and will go back and look for it. APU observation…..never even thought of it but you’re right. Thanks. Your advice is most appreciated.
  20. Great creation. Just bought a couple days ago. Looking forward to the XP12 release too. 3 Questions.....I've looked but so far have not stumbled across the answers... How to you change the altimeter setting subscale from HPA to In HG? ATS - it fails on climb out. No idea why? ATS power settings - I've read after take off there is a way through the FMS to select climb power for the ATS. I have found the power management page but other than a take off limit there's nothing else populated. So is a selection to climb power required or does the ATS do it automatically? Could this be tied into my ATS failing on climb out? Many thanks for any responses. Dave
  21. Is there a way to simply bypass the FBO experience and get in the aircraft engines started and ready to taxi or take off? It's probably an interesting experience to participate in this but more often than not only so much time is available to go for a flight. This is the reason I've been holding off buying. Dave

    TBM900 Autopilot

    Point understood. Many thanks. Cheers.

    TBM900 Autopilot

    Greetings. Thank you for your reply. The last three attempts at flying had flights 1 & 3 behaving normal. Autopilot functioned fine. Flight 2 - the AP was essentially non functional. Strange I agree. That said the remainder of the the XP sim and addons function fine so I will hold off on a reinstall of XP. Thank you for your support.

    TBM900 Autopilot

    One other point - I am unable to engage the FD at times.
  25. I have autopilot issues too (noted above) and I have done the new airframe creation route and the problem remains.
