I don't think that works..........have you tried ?

Hello, I use Mike Stone's Atr72 500 with Hanno Frings panel & the IAS hold doesn't work in that. The IAS button lights up but doesn't work. I have edited the autopilot as described here too. I think the problem is not so much with the aircraft cfg but with the .air file, and that Mike Stone didn't include IAS hold when he built the file. Unfortunately I'm told the atr72.air file can't be edited retrospectively for IAS hold to be added. I use Mike Stone's aircraft a lot because they are so good to fly. The Atr is very good at repsonding to throttle adjustments to keep to any desired speed I want. I must say I think Mike Stone's aircraft are wonderful & brilliant............. I hope this helps.......

Thank you. 3800 seems to work well! TerryW

Hello.....it's [Default View] X=0 Y=0 SIZE_X=8192 SIZE_Y=2600 I changed it to Y=3600 but it stayed as is............... I was wondering if it's one of the [Views] settings ?

I'd be very grateful if someone can help me fix this run way problem as seen in this screenshot. I have to pull the runway down to below the panel edge. I don't know how to fix it by editing the cgf - can a knowledeable person help me out ? Thanks. Terry Wallis.

I've been playing before you replied and now you've explained it all is now clear ! Thanks.

Hello. Thank you. Can you tell me what the other numbers do ? Cheers. Terry.

I've come across this view in a panel for FS2004 & I'd be grateful if someone who knows about these things can tell me what the numbers stand for ? Fixed Window37=Camera View VIEW_DOWN_WINDOWS=37 VIEW_DOWN_ZOOM=0.500 VIEW_DOWN_EYE=0.000, -5.000, 0.000 VIEW_DOWN_DIR=45.000, 5.800, 0.000 [Fixed Window37] file=vinten70mm.bmp file_1024=CameraView.bmp size_mm=1024,768 position=4 visible=0 ident=30 sizeable=1 render_3d_window=1 I would like to change the view to look less down & more straight ahead towards the horizon.................... Mank thanks.

I'm using UK2000 addon scenery & EGHH replicates the airfield of 1970-80 before upgrading = grab 018. The waiting AI was at the red X' I made HURN 1943 with a series of other south coast airfields for my Golden Wing 3.

Well, interesting info you give me but it's new to my experience at EGHH & I've had FS9 for 11+yrs or so. I have the latest FSUIPC & with AISmooth running & 1/2 mile to touchdown I get go around, having been given OK to land at 4 miles or so. There is one AI waiting & no atc chatter except my go around. I've been held in line of 15 waiting for TO at HHR when I had a lot of AI added aome years & the same waiting to land with lots being to to go around. I don't know that being miffed accounts for my attitude but with no flying traffic & 1 waiting, getting a GA doesn't seem reasonable. You're right, it's imperfect. Being a 'game' I've tailored it & disabled the traffic bgl :-) TW.

Thanks for the tip. I got AISmooth from AvsimRU btw..................

Thanks but the avsim link is dead.........I went avsimru & have managed to get Firefox to get an English translation & found 2231-aismooth-v120.zip. I'll get back to when I have it working.....thanks.

I've looked for AI Smooth but don't get any links to it...................

I'll give it a whirl but I think it would have been better had I asked if FS9's ATC mirrored real world behavior.......I am rapidly learning the answer is NO & I wonder why not. I could always deselect the traffic bgl !! Cheers. Terry.

ATC gives me permission to land on Rw 8. I'm 10 miles away. It tells a Soar to hold there's a Dash 8 on the runway. I hear no more of this. 4.4 miles away my landing is confirmed. I'm on final approach & see a Dash 8 taxiing onto the runway from the right & on the left one a 737 waits. I'm 1/2 mile from landing & am told Go Around. At no time did I hear ATC give the Dash permission to enter nor the 737 to hold. I thought aircraft on finals had priority ? This is a newish problem. Is there a solution to my being told to land and other aircraft intruding ? I will check other day times to see if this occurs then........... I assume by the way that ATC in reality doesn't behave like this.....................!!

Col, Aug, 1942......so far as well as can be expected, which is what said to patients relatives when pressed !

Col, I'm 3 miles NW of Ibsley. It closed in 1947 & remember being on the top deck of a bus with my twin bro. going to Bournemouth & going past when aircraft were moving on the taxiway. I remember huge black yellow tipped spinning props & out-stretched wings with camo & roundels. We were hooked. FS9 didn't have an Ibsley so I made mine. Steveo from Airfield Constructors Group made & sent me a tutorial using Sbuilder & Ade9 so I got on with it! I've made 40 or so. What gets me about GW3 is the green grass............................

Good for you. This is RAF Ibsley my home airfield.

W7 it is ! I make all my own WW2 British airfields (for my Golden Wings 3) & I know my way around 7. Cheers. Terry.

Thanks Col......I'll stick with W7. It shut down quite normally......I saw & heard nothing out of the ordinary. I ran crystaldiskinfo again this morning & got 100% health & A1.

I will, thanks.

The only problem I've had in the past 10 yrs is when I added the switches and the sim ran smoothly. I think it was the unexpected disk check when I started up 2 hrs later that is at fault. I removed the entire aircraft but it wouldn't run. The aircraft & panel work in Vista and the new FS2004....................... I thought FS9 wouldn't work in 10 ?

Update: I've reinstalled FS2004 (2.67 GB) & it's running without issues.........I'll add stuff slowly to get some semblance of what I had before it crashed.

Thanks............I'll give it a whirl.....watch this space ! Well, I ran it & got a health status verdict of 100% Good....................should I edit the swap/page file in any way ?

Yes, but all I've done is add light switches to a panel. I've added it to FS9 in my Vista machine & it's working perfectly there. I am becoming surer that the W7 disk check has done something to stop FS9 from loading. I'd added the switches & for 30 mins things were running smoothly. I have Golden Wings 3 in another drive (E) so I added the panel to an aircraft in that & it plays smoothly.
