Wow, cause you know, that's not offensive... *roll eyes*

Today on vatsim I was assigned sq code 0630 only to discover that the CRJ won't allow a transponder code lower than 1000 it just rolls around back to 77

It's not the displays that it blocks, it's the side panel with the altimeter and display controls

Hi Again Philipp, Just tried removing the Sandy plugins, Airport Navigator and the 737 (put it in the hope folder) and now it seems to be working. I'll let you know if it crashes again.

Hi Philipp, The scenery install errors are well known to me. I'm not even at that airport so no worries there. I am sitting on the ramp in CYUL, I have not even made a flight plan yet, but when I do it will be CYUL DCT YUL DCT YJN DCT YXY DCT CETTY FUNDY6 CYHZ. The crash occurs after I type CYUL and go to enter it into the LK2? where you type in the airport code to start the INS.

It just happened again. Doing the exact same step. Crash_Log.txt Log.txt

Just got a crash to desktop while trying to setup the INS in the FMC. Mac warning error was a bad kern protection error.

Are the contents of the plugins folder supposed to stay with the aircraft or be installed in the plugins folder. I also had to move the british airways folder into the liveries folder. For now I moved the contents of the plugins folder from the CRJ aircraft folder to the plugins folder. I can't check it out till later tonight, but if that does not work I will move them back.

Very exciting news! I am glad it came out today, since I have to be up all night to switch to night dispatching anyway. Now I will have something to do tonight. My brand new Imac should be coming within the next week as well! Congrats!

I think more to the point and appropriate for the aircraft is practice landing with no flaps http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story.jsp?id=news/CRJ02237.xml&headline=CRJ%20Flap%20Failures%20Canadian%20Safety%20Officials%20&channel=mro

I'm also keeping my MBP, but my savings account sure wishes I wasn't. At least we have a strong dollar to drive the price down up here.

If you are going to upgrade you may as well go all the way. I ordered the fully tricked out 27 inch Imac. I will be writing a review of it and how it handles x-plane when it gets here.

To make it even more fun hand fly the steep approach to CYTZ's rwy 26. 4.8 degree GS and 3 degree offset to go by a smokestack. Add in some gusty winds and mechanical turbulence and it's a joyride LOL.

Unless something terribly unexpected comes up I'm sure we will see it soon guys, and if something unexpected DOES come up, they will tell us. Relax, have a mojito and enjoy the spring (or fall depending on where you are in the world. Mojitos are mandatory however )

Good luck on the Law Exams!

Orthophotos?

It depends on what you fly. If you fly online almost all the time, and usually under ATC guidance you might want to update it more often, as arrivals and routes change. However if you just fly on your own you should be ok with the release. The difference is the accuracy and contents of the data. The Navigraph data includes Approaches, SID/STAR data, airways, and nav fixes. The default x-plane data is user maintained as opposed to the navigraph stuff which presumably get their data directly from the major providers. X-Plane's data does not include approaches or SID/STAR data. Another important thing to note is that the default data is for the entire native x-plane world, and the Navigraph data will only work for the three devices that currently use it in X-Plane (UFMC/EADT's new GPS and the CRJ) No other planes will be able to use the data.

I can see some buildings, streetlights and a forest. (I can't see anything else even in full screen with my nose pressed right up against the monitor )

I still have hopes of organizing a conference up here in Canada, but since I have moved recently those plans have been put on hold a bit. (Though Halifax in the Fall is still nice)

Streetlights? Or a Beautiful Dash

Glad to hear the Navigraph data is out as of this cycle. Sounds like it's time to renew my subscription. I'm building CRJ flight plans while I wait using the correct flight plan format, But it's hard to do too much with them because of the lack of planning charts yet. Once the plane is released I can finish them up and I'll have a whole library of accurate flight plans! (Fun and excitement I know )

should have gone around and done a flaps up landing . Glad you got it working.

Are you positive that there were any ATC online? They are not all there automatically. Click the "View who is online" button to see which ATC are logged in in range of you.

That's why I said "Either way it will be done when it's done"
