Hi Guys,
I was wondering if any one is having problems with the Project Opensky "Boeing 747-400 Version 3 - gMax " ??
I downloaded one of these versions in Qantas Livery and installed it into my FSX system making sure that I changed the panel to the FSX 747 default one and also the Sound File to the default 747 sound file.
Well all went very well the A/C came up in the 747 window in the A/C select panel of my FSX system and loaded up fine..Panel OK, Sound OK,Texture Perfect.
OK I thought lets do a Shake-Down Flight(Which was a circuit of YPPH, T/O SID from Rwy 3 & ILS STAR onto Rwy 3, This is what I use as a test flight )The Taxi out to rwy3 was faultless as was the T/O,However when I got the A/C cleaned up and engaged the Auto Pilot nothing worked Auto pilot wise ! ATC directed me to maintain 4000 feet and turn on to heading 115...I set the Alt and adjusted the Heading Bug to 115 deg...NOTHING the A/C kept on flying on the rwy heading (none of the buttons on the Auto Pilot worked ??
The only way I was able to control the A/C was manually (with the autopilot disengaged)
I have emailed P.Opensky but have had no reply to this problem,Yet they recon that their A/C are FSX Compatible...
Any one out there got any thoughts or have also had this problem.and managed to solve it ?
Thanking you all in anticipation.
Cheers from Sunny Australia
