EHM-0654 Murray:
I've downloaded and install this, and I'm intrigued enough to properly give the "demo" a go, but...

Does anyone have an EHM "model" for it? The VA features look remarkably similar to what we doing with PP (only a lot more "passenger-centric"), and I see the opportunity to "embrace and extend" FSP into the PP framework (Bruno, don't worry, I'm just "blue skying" for now... ;D)

EHM-0654 Murray:
Well, after one test flight I bought FSP, and I'm loving it.

My EHM company has successfully transacted a single flight (I'm going to restrict myself to the IVAO VFR WT for now) and my passenger was extremely happy with the flight, apart from the turbulence as we were coming in to land and hitting +1.31G for 0.07sec (cost me 5% points those did! If he didn't want turb, he should have flown in a bigger aircraft...)

One question for any real PPLs out there; light order? when do you turn what lights on?

The Jabiru 2 model I'm using for the VFRWT has Landing, Taxi, Nav and Strobe/Beacon. The EHM FLogger (and my PMDG procedures sheets) tell me that I need to have landing and strobes on before engine start (and personally, that's always been my understanding - strobes on as you start the engine, strobes off when you shut down), but FSP tells me off for leaving the strobes on during taxi out/in. Who's right? (Let me guess, both...)

EHM-1539 Pierre:
PMDG procedures tells you to have strobes on before startup ??
I think you are mistaken with beacon.
FSP is right (but Propilot too since it's the same conditions).

Official Boeing 744 Aircraft Operating Manual :

Before Start Procedure
Accomplish this procedure after papers are on board and flight crew is ready for push back and/or engine start.
BEACON light switch................................................................... BOTH

Takeoff procedure :
Pilot Not Flying - Position Inboard Landing Lights and Strobe Light switches ON.

Landing lights always ON below 10000 feet

After Landing Procedure
Accomplish this procedure when clear of the active runway.
STROBE lights switch ......................................................................OFF
INBOARD landing lights switches ...................................................OFF

Shutdown Procedure
FUEL CONTROL switches ...................................................... CUTOFF
[...]
BEACON lights switch..................................................................... OFF


MSN me if you want the real manual (900+ pages). After reading it the PMDG one will be good for the trash bin.
If you know how to fly the real ones then you know how to fly the FS addons after all ;)

EHM-0654 Murray:
Ooooooooooooooh!?!?!?!

It's not a PDF is it PF? That would be loverly...

EHM-1539 Pierre:
It is, merry christmas :8
Opening it is a deadly trap.
I read it entirely 2 years ago, but I can't help refreshing my memory about the hydraulics and bleed air detailed systems :]
I opened it to help you, I end up 3 hours in front of my PC..

You may ask me AOMs for the old 737, all the 737NGs, A319, and 777 too.
