EHM-1703 Philip:
Hmmm That's what I thought, it must be the Battery Bug as I have seen in the forums that it is causing strange problems.
Thanks for your help Murray, I'm off to register my copy FSUIPC and get rid of this problem once and for all!
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi,
Philip, you are saying that you see the glidescope needle and the airplane dont lock on it or you even dont see the glidescope needle ?
Because I have a problem like that too. It also doesnt lock on VOR's ...
I got a way to go around that but first confirm my question.
Regards,
EHM-1703 Philip:
Yes that's the problem, I see the needles and get a heading lock, (Horizontal lock or LNAV) just no Glide Slope lock. (Vertical or VNAV)
I have just read on the PSS forum about a possible cure for this by reducing the Realism settings to 50% or less. I will try this when I get home tonight on a short flight to see if it works. Is that the cure you had in mind Bruno?
Cheers
EHM-1001 Robert:
Well, when I let FSNav autocalculate the route it just followed the available routes, so went high north along the coastline, then sharply down to Bermuda and it seemed too long. I redrawn it to a more linear form and I got the distance above. But as Bruno said, I let Murray choose the correct route plan ;)
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi,
Philip, I noticed that this doesnt happen for the first time that you fly the airplane (after you install it).
After some investigations, I got a way to know if you will have that problem or not. Basically you:
1. Connect the ground power on the setup panel.
2. Turn on the battery, then the PRI GND POWER.
Now, here comes the trick. After this you will get power on the airplane, so, you turn on the beacon lights and yougo to the spot plane view and check if the beacon lights are on. If you don't see the beacon lights (the red upper and bellow-wing flash lights) on, then you will have problems on the airplane.
So, what I do in that case is to uninstall and install the airplane again. That solves the problem.
Well, this is only a desperate turn-around because I didnt find another solution and it's very bad to see that you do a very long flight and at the end you dont have approach/landing navigation aids ...
Hope that helps,
