Hi, got amazing BAe 146 aircraft by Jon Murchison with Mathias Lieberecht panel. A real pleasure to fly and MANY thanks to the developers. Just one question on the annoying Glide Slope Warning sound I get on landings even when bit under or above GS. Have deleted the ev_glideslope sounds from both the aircraft sound file and FS sound file. Even have deleted the entry in sound.cfg: ///[GLIDESLOPE_WARNING_SOUND] ///filename=ev_glideslope ///flags=0 ///viewpoint=1 ///maximum_volume=9800 Also have tried different HSIs (with GS indications) in the panel. BUT the Glide Slope warning always sounds? Any idea what else I should delete/deactivate to get rid of this warning? Thanks for any advise. Peter

Hi, VOZ is great but what happened to the runways approach lights - glow all the time (row on each side of the runway trash hold) but never show red (below or under the glide slope!) Any clue? Thanks Peter

Hi, the FS2004 built in real weather download is not operational for longtime. I use FXReal Weather and it is free: https://www.fsrealwx.de/index.php/downloads Cheers Peter

Hi, Usually use CTR/SHIFT/F1 to shut down any aircraft engines. I am aware there are proper start/shut down procedures for each aircraft, but is there any simple gauge, which would mirror CTR/SHIFT/F1 with icon in panel to shut the engines down? And if not too much, is there any simple gauge, which would mirror CTR/E with start icon in the panel to start the engines. (There is a beautiful KEY in Connie FE panel -picture- starting all the engines in sequence) Any knowhow much appreciated. Thanks Peter

Many thanks gents. Much appreciated.

Hi, can someone please remind me which numbers represent which position in in regular 2D instrument panel windows. Got the below throttles in bottom center (position=7) and want to see how it looks elsewhere. [Window13] file=THROTTLES.bmp position=7 I know the info is somewhere, but did not have enough patience to search thoroughly. Apologies! Many Thanks Peter

Sorry to jump the gun Tom, actually read your response again and realized that I did some changes in my roaming FS9/AIRCRAFT folders. This obviously messed up my call signs. So the mystery is now solved. Best Regards Peter

Hi Tom, thanks for responding. Yes the flight number seems saved separately when saving the flight. ATC then calls aircraft by this number. For some reason once the flight is saved the aircraft,cfg atc_flight_number= does not change. In my case the ATC calling reverted to what is in aircraft.cfg and did not stay with what I saved with the aircraft. But I think it happened after I went back to the default flight - mysteries of FS. So will live with this. Thanks again. Peter

Hi, got many flights saved with my unique Flight Number and Tail number. This is so that I can easily recognize ATC calling me. For some unknown reason, without me doing any re-saving, most of my saved flights now reverted to the standard (atc_flight_number=) and (atc_id=) info from the aircraft.cfg, which now ATC use instead of my saved call signs. Any clue what caused this? Thanks for any info, Peter

Wow, what an amazing scenery. With airports like this, who would want to switch to FS2020? Kudos to Greg Putz, great job!

Suggest you go to ADE forum: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forums/airport-design-editor.95/

Or even better. If you can download the cv580lights.gau and cv340 Gauge folder: Create another window in your panel: Windowxx xx=(next number)=Ext Lights Below the last window: [Windowxx] file=Exterior_Lts.bmp size_mm=226,201 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=1 visible=0 ident=523 window_size= 0.220, 0.262 window_pos= 0.000, 0.000 gauge00=cv580lights!cv580lights, 0,-4,226,201 Then put a switch in your main panel: gaugexx=cv340!EXT_LIGHTS_PANEL, (xx,yy,zz,kk)=your position and size in panel You also need to place an Exterior_Lts.bmp (cannot attach here) picture in your panel if you get this far send me your email in a message and I will attach it. Actually I could attach the gauges as well. Good luck. Peter

Hi, this switch might do it: gaugexx=Z_DC6KM!RETRACT_LAND_LIGHTS, (300,231,16,21)= put in your panel. Obviously you need the Z_DC6KM folder in gauges or in your Cessna panel. It is DC6 so may/may not work in Cessna. Good luck Peter

Hi Gents, Sorry for confusion, I did lot of customizing (mixing the gauges, panels and so) so need to revert to the original Tom's calclasic aircraft, which I am sure is OK. Investigating my past tweaks would prove lengthy, so plan to start from the scratch, please disregard this. My apologies, Cheers Peter

Hi Jeroen, excellent points, I am also suspecting that some other switch is acting up, so do lot of comparisons between the functioning DC4 and the DC6 also 7, which does not show the fuel burn. And yes! I installed the DC4 gauges, which work fine with DC4 to DC6/7 panel but no luck, still no burn showing. This is bit lengthy but the aircraft.cfg and panel of the questioned DC7 are below (took some non-relevant sections out so that I can satisfy the posting limit): ;******************************** [General] performance=Length: 108 ft 10 in\nWing span:117 ft. 6 in.\nWeight: 122,000 lb.

Hi, yes number_of_tank_selectors=1. Did some more testing. DC4 works perfect during flight the gauges show first using the auxiliary tanks and then main ones: in cfg: [fuel] Total 3804 USG of which 3740 USG usable = 22,824lbs LeftMain=0,-10,0,1002,16 RightMain=0,10,0,1002,16 LeftAux=0,-20,0,900,16 RightAux=0,20,0,900,16 fuel_type=1.000000 number_of_tank_selectors=1 electric_pump=1 I mirrored this to DC6 and DC7, even used the same gauges, BUT there is no fuel usage shown during the flight. The fuel quantities stay the same! I am still toying with cfg and panel (comparing the OK DC4 with the "always full" DC6 and 7) to see what could be the problem. Perhaps some other gauge is acting up or some additional tweak in cfg is needed to make these gauges showing consumption?

Thanks Tom, also to Jeroen79, these aircraft were downloaded years ago, so cannot trace where from. But in general what seems to be an issue is that the gauges do not seem to correspond to the tanks in cfg and in aircraft fuel load. And mainly during flight these do not move towards empty, which obviously should be the case. So perhaps some fuel flow issue?

Hi, Got excellent DC4 vintage aircraft. The initial fuel quantity shows correctly in gauges but the indicated amounts stay the same during the flight - no consumption is showing. I am assuming some tweak in aircraft.cfg is needed? Any help appreciated. Many Thanks Peter

Hi, Happened to me many times. This is usually an add-on scenery (airport) acting up. Probably a texture conflict. Or AFCAD duplications. I usually look at the vicinity, where the FS crash happens, and see what scenery I have added there. Then remove it and test the FS (If FS crashes at the same point, fly aircraft towards the problem point and save the flight (x) just before the FS crashes. Then close FS and remove the suspect area. Start FS and open the flight (x) you saved. If the FS does not crash - flight continues, you removed the correct area, which was causing the problem. If it crashes again, the area you removed is not the problem and try to remove another.) You can also use DX Fixer (search for download) to detect the problem textures.

Hi Andy, Very interesting questions and truly, I never started FS from my external (back-up) drive. But assuming that if you click FS9.exe in the external (back-up) drive it probably looks at the files from the same drive? Perhaps someone with more know-how can answer it? On backing the FS9 folder from the roaming folder (mentioned previously). This is an additional FS9 folder created by FS (when first starting) and can be tweaked to enhance some scenery and flying configuration. Mine is tweaked, so have mentioned that baking it up is also a good idea. I am strongly suggesting the tweaks - in AVSIM search for the real environment: fe9_v1_3.zip. Peter
