P3Dv4.1 - FSUIPC5.1 - no network -
FSC Build 9.7 - 26 July 2017 - Aerosoft - last update 13/04/2018 - Navigraph AIRAC 1804 Rev1 Mar29-Apr25 - 3 monitors - W10-64bit...
P3D4 with ORBX Global plus all regions - NO additional scenery/airports added.
Busy flying a round world trip and finding duplicate entries for some airfields in Canada and the USA!
The airfields are indicated by the "dot" but with the airport I.D. showing twice - one above the other.
Example: today arriving KFSO the GPS module indicated NO ILS data! On the map KSFO was showing the KSFO text twice.
In the find-airport window typing KSFO brings up two entries...
the first KSFO based on "ADE_FTX_NCA_KSF" this shows no detail in the usual airport display window (this will be a reference to ORBX Northern California)
the second KSFO based on "APX_15180.bgl" shows all relevant airport detail - parking, ILS etc, etc.
There are too many duplicate entries on the map to list here but worth noting - this has only started to appear since arriving from Asia into Alaska and down the west coast...
I can take data from the map for ILS approaches - just curious as to why FSC is reading the first file listed "ADE..." and not the bgl-file which contains the vital information!
Very strange...
Would be happy if you can shed some light on this issue.
Regards :)

Well done you!
Got it...a bit of tweaking in the aircraft.cfg file and the FSC aircraft menu and now I have it on each one that was missing :)
Thanks again.
Have the rest of the weekend off...

Hi Volker - thanks for the quick reply :)
So that should mean any of the aircraft reaching RadioAlt > 149 and VertSpeed > 200 when FSC is running and with a flight plan loaded should give the audio...
My main departure would be from EGNM (Leeds/Bradford) with any of the jet aircraft flying at 2000 fpm vertical speed yet only the TDS 737s and POSKY Airbus are giving the call-out.
No sound at all from the Lear, EMB-140/190... in fact I do not "fly" any aircraft with a vertical speed of less than 500 fpm.
Very strange!
Thanks anyway.
Ken ;)

Good day, Volker :)
Running:
1: P3Dv4.1.7.22841
2: FSUIPC v5.122 (registered)
3: Network - No
4: FSC & Db v9.7 - build 26 July 2017
5: Navigraph - 1802
6: Aerosoft download
7: Windows-10 Home 64bit
8: Three monitors.
I have the boxes ticked for "80 knots" and "positive rate" in the "Display Tab" which work/sound in some (TDS 737s and POSKY A320s for example) but not all of my installed aircraft - all freeware ported over from FSX-SE but which perform equally as well in P3D4.
Is there some essential file missing from those aircraft that do not give the voice activation? Or some other activation required within FSC per aircraft?
Pleased that my FSC continues to perform with P3D4 without any glitches so far!
Thanks in anticipation of a simple successful suggestion :)

And an even bigger problem is UT Alaska which has dozens of airports where runways are not recognised. It has been reported and it would seem nothing can be done. They put it down to flight planners that 'aggressively scan for any airport content' which is what I thought we wanted flight planners to do!! In the meantime I am sticking with FSC and dumping UTX.
I had exactly this issue after installing UT Tropical America and Carribean...(UT TAC)...
Looking at the FSC map 89 airfields within this software showed the code THREE times - TAPA TAPA TAPA...
Contact with the UT forum gave the answer that the UT software is giving "much more accurate elevation detail" etc, etc.
The option was to go into the UT menu and disable the fields that showed multiple entries - that's how I know there were 89 of them :cry:
Disabling these 89 UT entries thereby using only the FSX data resolved the issue so that I was able to obtain/make my flight plans and surprise, surprise did not show any odd elevation issues on the fields themselves.
UT say the same issue is there in UT Alaska but with only a small number of fields involved - I am about to boot up the FSC map to identify the multiple entries as above and avoid similar issues if and when I fly in Alaska :mrgreen:

Sorted :oops:

CH Yoke:
I have assigned buttons 2, 3 and 4 (right-hand horn) for FS keyboard commands;
button 2 = Shift + P (pushback)
button 3 = 1 (swing tail to left)
button 4 = 2 (swing tail to right)......
So far so good! This works fine until Radar Contact is active when the commands 1 and 2 are used by RC for their menu and, therefore, only the pushback facility is available.
I deactivated the above buttons from the FSX\Options\Controls function.
Page 30 of the manual, bullet point #2 inferrs that the above FSUIPC settings (Buttons) would operate "outside" of the RC requirements - or am I reading this wrong?
Any comments and an expert eye would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Volker,
just to keep you informed...
I posted on NaviGraph and this is their reply...
Hi Ken,according to the AIP of Spain, the UM190 don´t contain no longer the ASTUR waypoint.
Here is the complete UM190 from the AIP:
SSN VORDME
BLV VORDME
GOKAN
XARIS
VES VORDME
ROXER
STG VORDME
That´s exactly what we have in the database and what you see in the FSC. I believe you use an "outdated" flightplanis this possible?
Here attached a short extract from the AIP:
I have passed the detail to my VA for their attention.
Thanks for your time.
Ken.

Greetings,
Creating a plan using a route string from my VA gave me a huge discrepancy in total nm. - 13,782 instead of 688!
LEST ASTUR UM190 VES UM30 QPR UN472 REVTU UP87 DOMUT UL980 KATHY EGSS
Checking on Google gave me two wp's ASTUR - one in the Phillipines at N10, E123.
The one I need is at N43-13.6, W7-21.36 in Spain.
Obviously I was able to spot the discrepancy and remove ASTUR which then corrected my nm.
Just drawing it your attention - no major problem - but curious as to why it would be missing.

Good morning Volker,
Have run the DBManager again as requested...same result as shown...
Airport information as shown...
The only add-on for this area is a freeware by Toni Agramont....
Name: portufsx.zip Size: 31,782,416 Date: 10-05-2007 Downloads: 2,159
FSX Scenery--Portugal, intended for VFR flying. Adapts the author's previous scenery to FSX. Some of the big airports are photoreal. By Toni Agramont.
This scenery is shown as Area 1490 - 154 in the log that I am sending to you as instructed.
BTW - there are no issues with LPPT which would be covered with the above add-on.
Thanks for your time and effort.
Ken.

Hi guys, thanks for the response but for whatever reason I don't have your detail....
My screenie below.........
I have had FSC for a while now and have always updated via Aerosoft when required.
Would it have any benefit if I were to uninstall my current version and install again?
Because the initial purchase was through Aerosoft would that work?
An intriguing conundrum................
BTW - the flight plan was created through a route-string from my VA (Fly UK).
Regards,
Ken.

Greeting to all fellow flyers,
Transiting Spain enroute for LPPR (Porto) I clicked the GPS gauge\ILS and read
"No ILS data available".
Moving to the airport LPPR on the map I can see ILS feather (one only) with the detail
"Cat II ILS/DME 17 PR 171(degrees) PR109.90"
Note: no indication of glide-slope altitude.
On approach I was unable to lock on to the localiser and/or fly the glide slope.
I tried this several times with an approach of 2000 feet onto the ILS feather in order to capture from below.
Could somebody try this approach for me and advise if it is just me - or - is there a minor glitch somewhere.
Is there an ILS capability at LPPR? An ILS feather is shown on the FSX map with a VOR.
My FSCDb is completely up-to-date.
System:
FSX/SP1/SP2;

Regards to all,

To Ken Hall
Many thanks I'm up and running
Most grateful for your post
Jonathan
No problem, Jonathan :D
That's why we're all here - to help one another :oops:
Enjoy the experience - then go and buy another monitor or a projector or..... :roll:

Hello,
set the wind direction arrow to another place. So I do not have to position the GPS-Window everytime I call it. Not a big one I think.

Uli
I posted on this issue quite some time back................
a drag-and-drop option which was considered to be a good idea by the boffins at FSC :mrgreen:
But I love all the updates in the interim period :D
-
I am using XP/SP3 though I suspect Vista will operate in the same way :twisted:
Connecting your two monitors to the same video card is simple.................
Connect the cables;
When the PC is running - right click on the screen - choose "Properties" from the drop-down window;
Click the tab "Settings" - you will see both monitors represented in the window - then choose "Advanced".............
Click on the tab for your video card (eg: GeForce 9800GT)
From the side window select "View Display Settings" and in the main window alongside "View Display Mode" click into the bar to show the drop-down window and select "Dual View"...................
In the section of the window showing your two monitors select which one you want to be the "Primary Display" and tick the box.
The monitors will be shown as 1 and 2.......................
You can drag the monitors round the window to replicate the position you want them to be in - so that left is on the left and right on the right :lol:
Click "Apply" and away you go :roll:
Now you can start FSC and drag it across to your second monitor (must be in windowed mode) and enjoy the moving map etc while FS is running (also in windowed mode) on your "Primary".
Enjoy 8)

OK.........Thanks.
Do you still have my earlier suggestion of making the wind-direction-indicator a drag and drop item in your "melting pot" for the next version :wink:

Is there a way to change the Millibars to inches Hg for data in the GPS-gauge Wx button?
When flying/using in the US or Canada, for example RC4 gives instructions ref Altimeter in inches but FSC is displaying "Q". It would be useful to be able to read the correct detail in the Wx window.

Thanks.

Pete,
thanks for your very prompt and comprehensive reply.
I shall make every effort to operate the aircraft via keyboard input only to see if that works with the default MS controls and will let you know.
I did contact CLS about the DC-10 and their Airbus series but the only response was "we do not support GoFlight". Very succinct!
Thanks again.

I have nine GF modules: MCP-Pro; 2 x GF166A; GF46; 2 x RP48; T8; P8; LGT.
These are running FS9 (and FSX to a lesser extent!) with XP.
I have recently installed the Flight1 Super 80 (to FS9) and find some anomalies!
MCP-Pro, GF166s (Nav and Comms radios), GF46 (ADF, XPDR, Altimeter) and LGT (Gear, Flaps and Trim) all work fine.
The problems relate to switch and button assignments on the T8 and P8.
The T8 is assigned to Battery, Avionics, Fuel Pump and Engine starts/fuel run.
Using the T8 to switch on battery achieves nothing! However, switching on the battery from the aircraft panel button switches on the battery and lights up the T8 switch.
Similarly, various lights assigned to the P8 are not activating from the P8 but illuminate when activated from the panel buttons. Another example is pressing the P8 button assigned to Nav Lights, this switches on the Nav lights momentarily and illuminates the P8 button but on taking finger pressure off the button the GF indicator light goes out as do the Nav lights!!!
I have a fully paid licensed version of FSUIPC but (to my shame!) I can't get my head round it. What I need, I think, is a FSUIPC for Dummies manual! :oops:
Would some kind person be able to advise and point me in the right direction? :cry:
I also noticed the same difficulties with the DC-10 Collection (Just Flight/CLS) and some others (commercial) but have to say that ALL of the freeware aircraft and panels out there work perfectly. Does that mean that these commercial add-ons are utilising a different code from that of MSFS?
Soft landings to all.

FSUIPC was not activating/recognising my PTT key selection "Pause/Break" despite showing up in the FSUIPC buttons window!
Strange, as all it does if regurgitate the keys it saw pressed. I'll check that here.
Glad you solved it anyway.
Regards
Pete
No problem!
It's a computer!!!!!!!! :D
Trust you had a good holiday.
Best regards.

Problem solved..............................
FSUIPC was not activating/recognising my PTT key selection "Pause/Break" despite showing up in the FSUIPC buttons window!
On suggestion from fellow "Simmer" I changed the key selection and now it functions correctly.
Panic over :D :D :D

I have used the "freeware" fsuipc.dll module since shortly after discovering FS (six years ago).
Yesterday I purchased a full registration in order to take advantage of the Button assignments feature. However, I cannot make this work for me! I know it will be something simple (it usually is!) - I just need a point in the right direction and a friendly critical eye at what I have done.
My first venture was to assign a Push To Talk button.
My VA uses Teamspeak as the voice programme and I have assigned keyboard "Pause" for the push-to-talk action.
I want to assign this function to the #1 button my CH Yoke.
I have disabled the #1 button in FS (Parking Brake) -
Pressed the #1 button on the Yoke - shows as "Joystick 1" "Button 0" in the FSUIPC Buttons page -
Checked the box to show a tick for "Select for key press" -
pressed the "Pause" key on instruction to press key -
Checked the box to show a tick for "Key press to repeat while held".
[attachment=0]FSUIPC_01.jpg[/attachment]
I need to be able to make this work before moving on to other functions!
I am currently using FS9 and XP Home (SP2).
System: Asus A8v deluxe MoBo, AMD 64 3500+, 1Gb DDRAM, XFX 256Mb nVidia 6600GT, PNY 256Mb nVidia 6200.
Some useful advice, please.........
Hi
You have to checked "Select for FS controls" ! After that you will find the functions on the right side.
No, the only PTT functions there do not cover Teamspeak (only SB and two others).
Thanks for your interest anyway.
Anybody else, please!!!
