Hi, I sent you a private message 4 days ago. Can you check your inbox.

Yes, I have very recently solved the problem with a very radical response curve edit. Now I can slow down and stop the Cessna in a straight line. The feeling is amazing I must say. I enjoy the landing as it's the best part of the flight for me and with this pedal, it's much better than stopping awkwardly with the joystick trigger which I used to do.

 

Thank you good sir for all the help and support, I will surely contact you if I need. It's nice to get assistance how insignificant your issue may be. Many times I have been ignored at steam forums when I needed help.

LOL I know copy/paste stuff, I'm not that daft. As I said I might have a hard time finding the hot spot with the unit I'm adjusting. Anyway I did the "brake_to_steer_power 1.0" thing but haven't tested it yet, later today I will.

 

Also I checked the .acf file of Baron B58 but there is no text similar to Cessna's. I haven't yet tried the brakes on Baron.

Well, thanks a lot for the detailed help and effort. I'm not very good with editing files, I have seldom done that in the past but I might try. It scares me though given the fact that my common sense of control of the plane is very very low so I couldn't make it a decent job. I'm a beginner only.

I have the latest version as I play it on Steam(mandatory updates on steam). Changing the response curve actually affected the situation plenty. Of course I use the brakes when I have slowed down but I can't wait for the plane to stop by itself, right? BTW please do not be offended. I too would like this issue to be solved.

I recently bought myself Thrustmaster TFRP rudder pedals to use with Logitech extreme 3d. Having never used a rudder before it's a real challenge. Especially toe braking is really hard to get the hang of. While landing the Cessna and using toe brakes I'm skidding left and right and I'm all over the place until I come to a stop because I can't press both brakes with equal pressure.

 

I tried to mess with response curve in x-plane and set up some thing like this:

22 - 19

52 - 24

80 - 38

 

This somewhat helped a little but I'm still not good. Is struggling with it at the beginning a normal thing? What would you suggest?

The light only flashing briefly once is what happens with the fully default C172. (by day.)

 

To fix this is easy peasy.

 

-->First close FSX so it is not running.

Then open the folder the Cessna is in:

..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\C172

 

and make a copy of the original aircraft.cfg file.

Like so:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]209940[/ATTACH]

 

 

then open the file: aircraft.cfg with Notepad. (NOt the copy, keep the copy safe and unchanged.)

In file aircraft.cfg find the:

[Lights]

section.

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]209941[/ATTACH]

 

 

then edit that section a bit.

change line:

//light.5 = 4, -2.27, 0.00, 1.45, fx_vclight

to

light.5 = 4, -2.27, 0.00, 1.45, fx_vclight

 

(so remove the //

at the start of the line.

Anything on a line after // is not read and executed by fsx.)

 

Close the aircraft.cfg file again and save it.

 

Removing // enables that VC light. And then you will see more then just that brief flash.

Start FSX, and Enjoy.:D

Happy Flights!

 

Thank you so much. This problem was literally consuming me. Finally I got rid of it.

Make sure your battery and generator are running while you are flying! Maybe the panel light rheostat switch on the control panel is a better option to turn on the light.

The panel light switch is same as Shift+L as far as I understand. I tried that. I don't know how to operate the battery and generator or where they are.

I just tried the 172, sitting in the VC and changed the weather to overcast and rainy during the daytime. Using Shift+L caused the light to come on and make the cockpit brighter.

 

I tried that before and now again. I press Shift+L, at first something like lightning happens for a second. After that no light at all. Nowhere...It seems like a glitch.

Hi, I'm having a problem with cockpit visuals. I'm currently flying the cessna as I'm a beginner. When I'm making turns the virtual cockpit sometimes becomes darker because of the angle of the sun and I have a hard time viewing the indicators(or dials). I have a 15.6" laptop so that makes it worse.

 

Is there anything I can do abaut this?
