[ILS for centreline landings (answered)]

Dear Volker

 

I have now mastered all the aspects of your enchanting FSC except how to get the a/c to land on the chosen runway centreline.

Using FSX standard edition - after a cont rolled descent and intermediate approach, have the runway ILS frequency set.

Whether invoking the a/c model's APP mode or not, whether disengaging FSC's AutoHdg feature or not, the model usually touches down somewhere around the apron or dispersal. Have not yet managed to make a centreline landing like the old FS Nav in FS9 used to do.

What, please, am I missing with this final link.

 

Thank you and All Best Regards

[Aircraft Deviates Badly From Flightplan (answered & solved)]

Dear Volker

 

Hope you had a pleasant holiday break.

 

Lear 45 in FSX flying happily along a saved flightplan - keeping to track. Flight level FL330 and steady IAS. GPS 'Autoheading' engaged. Everything normal.

 

A good 300/400 nautical miles already covered.

 

When next viewed 10 minutes later, aircraft is way off flightplan track - flying roughly parallel to track a good 20 miles or so away. Attempts to rectify, disengage autoheading, disengage GPS, re-engage etc fail to return to normality. Eventually the aircraft ends up flying a reciprocal 180 track, again way off FP route.

 

This hasn't happened before on the same FP when the aircraft reached destination normally each time.

 

Please - any suggestions as to why such anomaly?

 

Best regards

[GPS Window (with Autoheading) disappears (answered & solved)]

Dear Volker

Nearly there with FSC!

However, the small GPS window overlying FSX in flight has disappeared. Have triied every option apparently offered to bring it back - but failed.

Flight plan made and saved. T/O and climb to altitude is normal.

Because autoheading is unavailable to select (neither present on FSX screen nor on FSC screen, the a/c is paralleling flight plan track at some distance away from track centre line.

Navaid flight plan chosen then annulled and substituted with direct GPS high altitude direct - makes no difference - can't resurrent the autoheading window on screen.

 

Windows 7 32 bit - SP 1 - 4Gb RAM - loading of both programs is normal.

 

Please advise and thanks.

Dear Volker

Thank you for such a speedy reply. You're great!

Too late to try out your advice tonight but look forward to experimentation tomorrow.

For what it's worth I attach the missing "1.jpg" again but it would appear that it's now irrelevant.

 

Kind regards

[Flight Plan Made - Saved in FSC and FSX - Doesn't Follow (answered & solved)]

Dear Volker

 

Mystified! Please help!!

 

Flightplan made, saved, loaded. FSX normal flying, climbing etc. GPS activated. Lear 45 - GPS and NAV selected. Aircraft veers off on its own course. Heading engaged to try to bring the a/c back to flight plan route. Whether NAV or heading selcted - no help.

 

Have re-perused your excellent FSC manual PDF and can't see why - sems to me everytihng is as it should be - except for an unruly aircraft.

 

I, by the way, am a retired British Airways captain who used to fly BAC-111.

Hi Volker

[FSX and FS Commander 9.6 - Sound Muted? (answered)]

Just mastering using registered FSC9.6 with FSX in Windows 7 / 32 bit. What a hugely clever piece of software is FSCommander and what a sheer joy in getting to start understanding it. Hat off to Volcker and colleagues.

I have a question please -

Single monitor use : When changing from FSX (with normal aircraft sound) to the FSC underlying window, the sound becomes muted then sound reappears when FSX window is re-toggled.

Please - is this normal or is there a way to have sound continue when following the FSC map and its moving aircraft?

 

Thank you
