Somehat obvious. You are NOT a pilot, I take it?

Adjust trim before setting a/p. And after...

What version of P3d are you running?

LPMA Madeira scenery by Toni Agramont question?
mallcott replied to berlopez's topic in FSX General Discussion
Free Mesh would be another solution. -
LPMA Madeira scenery by Toni Agramont question?

Sort out the elevations first, then see how it looks. FSX Mesh is FREE... Check out "World Wide SRTM" by Taburet, found in the file library here. -
What OS? And if you don't explain, how do you expect help? USE your words, man! It's easy to edit the Aircraft .cfg, except under certain circumstances.

The difference is between P3d v1-v3 and P3d v4 and above. As you do not understand the difference, avoid them...

I would say it will probably be for the best if you learn more basics first. Then come back when you know what questions to ask... FSX has a basic tutorial and several lessons that will fill gaps in our knowledge.
-
As Nels suggests, Don't try to use autopilot and ILS if you haven't yet mastered the basics. Learn to fly first, then come back after you've flown and mastered the lessons Nels suggests... You are so out of touch with the simulator there is no poiint in us advising you at this point...

Try flying at realistic altitudes as well as listening to Larry and following his advice: The Cessna is NOT turbocharged so aim to max cruise speed at 6,000-8,000 ft, and don't try taking off from any altiports... The structural limiting speed is NOT EVER an `aim` to aspire to!

And remember to set the parking brakes before starting...

I read Richard L. Taylor's book when I first gravitated from gliders to powered aircraft. Would recommend it as a first step to any IFR flier contemplating moving to the idiosyncracies - yes, before moving to GPS, LNAV and any of that `newfangled rubbish`computer-flyin'. Use it as preamble to `CAP785 - Approval Requirements for Instrument Flight Procedures for Use in UK Airspace` or any FAA materiel.
-
Aim to a point that is 10-15 miles out, on the centreline of the runway in use. Then engage the a/p. Don't aim directly at the airport, because you can't know the runway in use until you do... providing the airport has an ILS, which will be on a different frequeny to the ATC

No.

No, only aircraft that are prone to carb icing. I never needed it on my Diamond Katana, but the Rotax 912 wasn't regarded as prone to carb icing. If the weather was cold and/or wet I would use it for landing but as a backup, as carb-ice was slightly more prevalent. I only had it occur once in flight in more than a thousand hours on that plane, but on a 6-degree day with rain showers. Note: Carb heat is used as a prevention mechanism not as a cure-all...

Fokker from Holland? F27/F50 would be my guess
-
I concur. Not enough horsepower for a `modern` sim. FSX - SE would be my recommendation. But updating the GP would be my first choice, followed by more RAM.

First ever commute to work in flying car
mallcott replied to johnost's topic in Real Aviation General Discussion
Looks like the perfect case of the `not yet ready` if you ask me. I wouldn't buy any car that was restricted to 63 mph, much less one with only a 20 minute range. And my motorcycle banks INTO corners, and beats most traffic too! -
No, we just migrated to a more modern platform. You are aware this sim was released in 2003? It was superceded in 2006.... I have shoes older than that!
-
You can't fly 1,000 sceneries no matter how short your flights. Consider separating and combining the one's you DO use. Delete the rest.
-
Getting rid of any/all unnecessary scenery layers would be my preference. 1,000 layers?

FSUIPC Installs but does not Show up in FSX or Communicate with FSC
mallcott replied to djp1701's topic in Newcomer Services
Looks suspiciously like Simconnect is not installed, and it must be. Simconnect can be found in the FSX folder structure. -
The trip, planned out? A DA-62, flown slowly, can easily manage 8 hour legs. In fact they can fly 11.7 hours at low power settings.

Those battery backup units and GA
mallcott replied to CRJ_simpilot's topic in Real Aviation General Discussion
I replace the battery on our Cessna every three-or-so years. Tech has come on a long way since my Cessna was built in the 70's and now it's cheaper to replace than repair or renovate.
