Nightflight

ound what it was. I think all props have that tendency to back left or right when taking off. The way i fixed this tendency was to yuse a little rudder. I never thought that rudder would keep the plane from banking. I am wondering if this is a centering of the rudder issue or its the it is done.

I have 2 Question really. In the C90B, Does this aircraft have a tenency to torque left when taking of?? I can undersand this on the ground but after i take off, It also has this tendency and i have to really try to hold it straight on take off. I mean its really a hard right to get it bck center. My second question is with the autopilot My experiance so far with this aircraft is if you fly too slow, say at about 60 knots or below, the autopilot is knocked off line. I understand that but, What is the oprocedure for turning it on? After i set my ALT and V/S, do I press the ARM button on the FMC??? then once in the air to start my flight plan i press theLOC button. Or am i missing something because I am Fighting with having to keep the plan going straigt so that i dont scare my passengers with haveng to look down and engage the autopilot.

I have the saitek rudder and yoke and the throttle quadrant along with the multi panel. I want to get the radio panel next

If you are talking about the Garmn GPS reciever then what button do you push to engage it?

The FMS is on the lower central console

My understanding is you have to turn on Flight director in order for auto pilot to work. I will look again

Is that the arm button on the FMS???

Is there a fkight director button or control for this aircraft?

But can you and where do you engage the autopilot in the c90 b???

OK found it.. It wasnt b but V I toggled V several times to make sure it worked so is that teh default for the brakes? B or V for all planes?

No that didnt do it

cool thanks

I dont want to sound like an idiot but if one never asks......then you wouldnt know. Where, in the King Air C90B is the parking break and how do you release it so you can start taxing. I have looked and looked and all i do is sit there and rev up the engines.

I also download the Apollo Gloabal AirMap To see if i acan input flight plans into it. I wanted something that would display on a GPS type insurment to show me if i was on course.

OK keith...Ill try by using the vors

So i just plug thhose vectore and waypoints into the route section of the flightplan???

I have been trying to fly a VFR flight from KGSO to KCRW but i am having a little problem with the navigation and autopilot. First, Flight director is on auto and i am just trying to get the airplane to a certain altitude (3000 ft). The alt will hold but cant seem to find the button to rotate to change the alt display on the autopilot panel. Next, if i engage heading hold, the airplane should turn to my desired heading if i change that on the HSI right? Lastly, if i down load a flight plan from xplane, how do i get it to show up so that i can use it with my cessna. I put the flight plan in my output folder under FMS plans right? Where should it show up in Xplane??? Or do i just need to right my flight plan out by hand and input it on the flight plan screen. It does make it more real if you right it out.

I see....Thanks for his info. I see that it is all "real"

Thanks. Ill check that. Didn't think of the Flight director

Hello to the group I stumbled over this site looking for some answers to my question about Xplane 10. I have been a long time user of MS Flight Simulator every since it was a black and white screen and stick figure buidings. So having said that, I am not a newbiein the flight sim community. I recieved xplane 10 for chritamas and hve been getting my feet wet in the program. My problem is and i hope i havent missed this somewhere here in the forums is engaging autopilot after a flight plan is made. I am fling the cessna 172 and i made a simple flight plan from KHPN to KBFI but how do you get the aircraft to follow the flight path to the VOR??? How do you get the Autopilot to engage on that flight plan and follow those fixs and waypoints? To the best of my Knowledge i havent seen where it addresses this. the manual says to just put in your flight plan then you take off. Thanks in advance.
