OT2

18 GB? Sounds unusual, but I guess some combination could give you that... Maybe a compatibility problem with a mismatch. I would suspect a overheating problem. John

Check your power settings. It sounds like it might just need a little more power and is porpoising in an effort to compensate. Also, check for weather problems. Go to the top of the screen and a bar of commands will appear. Click on environment (I think - not at a XPX computer right now) and choose weather. Either the first or second tab will allow you to reduce all weather conditions to 0 or whatever you want (try full left (0) until you determine what's going on. There are three levels of altitude and about four sliders each. Move them all to the left, try it, and adjust to your own preferences. John

You can install the new GPS on most of your old aircraft. Just open Planemaker and load your aircraft. Under the standard tab, choose systems and (in the bottom left section) choose to use the new GPS for both pilot and copilot if your aircraft has both. Close that window and again under standard, choose 3D Panel and it will open a page onto which are placed all the devices used on the panel of that aircraft. Select the copilot's GPS device by left clicking on it. At the very bottom of that page is a bar with several things on it, but you only need to look at the last entry "copilot". Click in the box to select it, go to the top of the page and click on the save icon, hit the back arrow in the left of the extreme top of that page, go to file and click save. The new GPS is great, even though I haven't been through all of it yet, because you can click on the GPS on the panel of the aircraft you are flying and a 2D GPS screen will pop-up and you can change airport data, etc. with the roll of your mouse wheel or with clicks. When finished with your entries, click on the GPS on the 3D panel and the 2D will go away and the new information will be programmed in your panel. John

If I might join in this conversation, I find that the most uncontrollable aspect of the MU2 is landing. When coming in on glideslope and disengaging autopilot, the plane takes a sudden dive to the left. I have found that adjusting aileron trim to near neutral nearly does it, but leaves a surprise at almost every landing. I have also found that moving aileron trim to the left slightly before take-off reduces the roll, but it is critical to adjust during flight to make sure that it is back to near neutral prior to landing. It improves, but being ready with yoke and rudder is essential. John
