  1. Scoobflight, Thanks for your help. I have downloaded the sim twice from Wilco and reinstalled it about four times. If the install is corrupt then it happened every time with two different downloads. I give up. May try to use aircraft using the default FS9 GPS. Again, thank you. Happy New Year
  2. Scoobflight, Ok. Question, why do I not have this same problem with my Wilco Airbus 218. PMDG or Level D aircrafts if I have an broken operating system utiility? Or does this broken OS utility affect only this specific sim? Thanks. Stanner
  3. Scoobflight, I did what you suggested. The manual has a short 122nm flight form Islip MacArthur KISP to KALB. In the manual the ROUTE IS NOT MANUALLY ENTERED. It is loaded from FS. I created the plan using the default FS9 flight planner. Loaded the E170. 1. NAV IDENT - In FMC on Nav Ident page R6 to initialize position. 2. POSITION INIT page - R2 to update FMC to current position. Loaded appears, and map coordinates for KISP are correct. 3. FLT PLAN page - under ORIGIN (1L), the departure airport KISP does NOT APPEAR. 4. FLT PLAN page - 2L Load FS FPL ....... message in scratch pad... FLIGHT PLAN INVALIED 5. FLT PLAN page - tried to enter departure airport manually in IL - message INVALID ENTRY The aircraft FMC is NOT READING THE CURRENT AIRPORT code (KISP). The airport code (IKISP) does not appear under ORIGIN in Flt Plan page. Therefore, I am unable to load a flight plan created by FS9 or, to insert the route manually. (I have Wilco Airbus 318,320,321 in FS9 and have not such problem). I have read the Wico manual, and a very excecellent tutorial on creating a Wilco E170 flight plan. I must have a corrupt file. My only resort is to download the file again from Wilco Publishing. Stanner PS 1. deleted the E170 files ---downloaded E170 from WilcoPub.com 2. installed E170 in FS9 3. in FLT PLAN page....no airport code in 1L ORIGIN Therefore unable to enter manual rout or load a flight plan since FMC does not know the code of the departure airport. I give up unless you have another suggestion. Wilco Pub no longer supports this sim. I also checked the FS MODULES folder that the file "gps_export dll" 6,444 bytes exists. It does. I might install the FS9 default GPS which will allow me to see where I am going to use a flight plan, although I must fly it manually, with limited autopilot use, and land manually with no ILS. Sad the aircraft has very nice handling, flying characteristics.
  4. Scoobflight, 1. deleted the EJv2 aircraft folder using the Win7 programs etc delete. 2. deleted the E 170 folder in the FEELTHERE main folder in FS9 3. reinstalled E Jets Series from the ORIGINAL exe file previously downloaded from WilcoPub. This is the exe file used previously. 4. installed NAVIGRAPH cycle 1513 (latest) in the FEELTHERE main folder 5. prepared flight plan in FSBuild 2.x which was updated to NAVIGRAPH cycle 1513. (KEWR-KPIT) 6. exported FSBuild plan to FS9 7. opened FS9 and Embraer E 170 to Newark (KEWR) gate. 8. loaded flight plan in FS9 9. opened FMC 10. In POSITION INIT loaded postition so that the message "no present position" disappeared from flight plan. 11. In FLT PLN page NO AIRPORT code appears under ORIGIN (1L). Should not KEWR appear in IL under ORIGIN? 12.In FLIGHT PLAN LIST went to FLT PLN SELECT PAGE and KEWRKPIT appears. 13. Clicked ACTIVATE get message " FLIGHT PLAN IS INVALID" 14 in FLT PLAN page no airport code under ORIGIN (1L) or DEST (2R) I could not load a Flight Plan manually. The aircraft is not reading the present position although the position was loaded in POSITION INIT. The map coordinates are correct, but the airport code (KEWR in this case) does not appear. I made certain that the flight planner and the E170 both had the same NAVIGRAPH data base (cycle 1513}. The aircraft is not reading the FS9 data base either. Do you suggest I do ANOTHER DOWNLOAD from WilcoPub? Or is it just that there is a problem with this aircraft files? Thanks. Stanner
  5. Scoobflight, Downloaded a flight tutorial from Google (Berlin EDDT to Vienna LOWW by flytutorial.com), dated August, 2009. Activated position, on the POSITION INIT page. On my FMC the map coordinates of the activated position were the same as shown in the tutorial. HOWEVER, in the POSITION INIT page, the name of the airport EDDT DID NOT APPEAR under the map coordinates (1L). Also in the FLT PLAN page the name of the ORIGIN airport (EDDT) does not appear(1L). I was unable to MANUALLY load a flight plan. In the NAV IDENT page, the date of the flight appears in blue. However, under ACTIVE NDB, nothing appears. The database cycle number should be shown here, correct? It seems the aircraft is not reading a database cycle. I am earlier NAVI GRAPH cycle installed in April, 2015 for Wilco Airbus. It seems I have to purchase a NAVI GRAPH database for the ERJ. Do you agree? I purchased the latest NaviGraph cycle (1513) for ERJ. It was installed by the NaviGraph auto installer in the FEELTHERE folder. Still have the same problem not allowing me to load a flight plan manually. The aircraft does not seem to be reading the default Fs22004 data base as well as NaviGraph data base. Any ideas? My last resort will be to try to install the FS2004 default GPS. Thank you. Stanner Stanner
  6. Scoobflight, Do not understand FS Commander and ERJ must be using the same series of database. Are you referring to the NaviGraph cycle? If yes, where do I check the NaviGraph cycle is using? Is this the NDB file? Thanks, Stanner
  7. Gentlemen, I purchased the download version of E-Jet Series from Wilco Publishing web site on DECEMBER 24, 2015. I installed the FS2004 version. I am using Windows 7. I have a few questions: 1. Do I have the latest version in this download or do I need to install an update patch? If I need to install a patch where can I find it? 2. I am having difficulty in loading flight plans into the FMS. I created a fight plan with FSCommander and loaded it into the FS9 flight plan folder. I started FS9 and loaded the flight plan from the FS9 flight plan listing. I started E-170 and in the FMS I tried to import the flight plan. I get the message FPL CONTAINS INVALID WAY POINTS. Sometimes I get the message INVALID FLIGHT PLAN. 3. I checked the FEELTHERE main folder in FS9 and seem to have several ND mdb files. Three to be exact. Could I be having a NAV Data problem? I have the NAVIGRAPH cycle 1505 (May 5, 2015), One NDB file is dated 04/16/2015 and the other two are dated 09/26/2006. If I purchase the latest Nav cycle, what is the specific path for the installation? 4. Is there a tutorial that you can recommend for this aircraft, one that has detail instructions on a. creating a flight plan, and b. loading a flight plan? Thank you, and Merry Christmas. Stanner
  8. Scoobflight, Found the answer. You are correct that by default the AIRAC install puts the cycle update in the correct location. During the install process the AIRAC installer prompted the FS9 main root directory folder. I clicked OK and, as you noted, the installer put the update cycle in the correct location. When I started up the Airbus, the MCDU indicated cycle #1505. Again, thanks for your help. Stanner
  9. Scoobflight, I tried several paths to install AIRAC 1505, such as FS9\Feelthere\ND. When I activate the zip file, I enter the path in the BROWSE section, and I can see the installation process taking place. I then get prompted that the install is finished. However, I when I load the Airbus, The AIRAC cycle in the MCDU is listed as 606. I have tried severs different paths with the same negative results. It seems I am trying to install in the wrong folder. I also cannot find the AIRAC 1505 in any of the FS9\Feelthere folders. I have reinstalled the Airbus Volume 1, and deleted the FMGC.cfg file and recreated it when I next loaded the Airbus. Using FS9 with Windows 7, to what Airbus Volume 1 folder would you install AIRAC 1505? Thanks, Stanner
  10. I have the Airbus Series Volume 1 for FS9. I have a FEELTHERE folder (F9\Feelthere). In the Feelthere folder I note Airbus Folder, and A320 Folder a ND folder. I have not used the aircraft in years. I am trying to update the AIRAC cycle to AIRAC 1505. However, I have been unable to successfully install it. Can you give me the correct installation path for the Navigraph AIRAC ? I am using FS9 in Windows 7. Thanks. Stanner PS Must flight plans be in the .rte format or can the default FS9 .pln format be used?
  11. Peter, As a last resort, I tried to calibrate the stick, and synchronize the two throttles using the Windows XP game controller calibration tabs. Much to my surprise, the both throttles are in perfect synchronization (N1, RPM's etc.). Regards, Stanner
  12. Peter, Thank you. You are a mountain of knowledge in this hobby of ours. Warren
  13. Pete, Bob Thank you both. The problem was that the FS9 Sensiitivity/Null zone axis was shown for only THREE axis. I had to use the scroll bar at the right to find the axis for Engine #2 throttle. The sensitivity was at only 50%. I set it to 100% and all is fine. Now what I have to do is to try to calibrate the two throttels in FSUIPC. I have the registered version 3.7. Using FSUIPC I cannot seem to get the two throttle levers on the joystick, so that at the same postition they both register the same N1 value on the engines. I shall keep trying. Pete do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
  14. My apologies for spelling your name incorrectly. I do have a purchased copy of FSUIPC, and will look in the zip file. Thank you. Stanner
  15. Need Help! I purchased the SAITEK AVIATOR joystick which just came out on the market. I have Windows XP and use FS9. I has TWO THROTTLE LEVERS. For twin engine aircraft, Saitek claims that you can assign one throttle to engine #1, and the other throttle to engine#2. The stick come with no documentation specific to this stick or this point. I contacted Saitek and they do not respond, and the unofficial web site was of no help. I found the following: A. in Settings/Joystick four axis were active: 1. Aileron axis X 2. Elevator axis Y 3. Rudder axis Z rotation 4. Throttle axis Z The Aviator stick has a twist handle for the rudder. I changed the assignments to: 1. Aileron axis X (no change) 2. Elecator axis Y (no change) 3. Engine #1 throttle axis Z 4. Engine #2 throttle axis SLIDER 5. Rudder axis Z rotation (no change) After the above change, the Engine #1 throttle lever on the joystick will operate engine #1, however the Engine #2 throttle lever on the joystick will not operate engine #2. This is the lever that shows as SLIDER on the Settings/Joystick. In the Setiings Sensitivities rather than THROTTLE AXIS, there appears ENGINE #1 THROTTLE AXIS. Nothing apperars for throttle #2. I have tried using FSUIPC to assign these two levers, so that each one operates a different engine, but have not been successful. Is there any help or suggestions you can give me? Thank you. Stanner
