Possible bugs, comments on the new fleet

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Thank you Dan very much ! :8 Happy flying with the new airplanes !

I am going to post then the A320 fix tonite

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Here is a quick fix for the A320:

or you can reload and reinstall the whole aircraft

[EHM-1001 Robert]

For the bouncing SAAB, try out this edit, plz. Open the Aircraft.CFG and replace the pont.0 line in the [contact_points] section with this one:

point.0 = 1,  28.07, 0, -7.0, 1181, 0, 0.84, 39.9, 0.8, 2,   0.952, 4.8, 4.8, 0, 0, 0

OR, if it sinks below the ground, change the 4th parameter from -7.0 to -6.6

Thx, and good luck

The autothrottle in the new Saab is now working in my aircraft. The problem I found was that in the Aircraft.cfg file under the autopilot section the line reading autothrottle_max_rpm= was set at 90, this is too low, the original Saab was set at 20000, so to make the autothrottle work edit the line as follows autothrottle_max_rpm=20000.000000

[EHM-1570 Bruce]

Hi Robert
 I have changed the contact point as you suggested and it worked fine, I had to alter the 4th parameter as the nose wheel was floating off the ground, I only had to change it to -6.9

[EHM-1945 Christophe]

Hello all friends,

I've dowloaded the new fleet and looks very nice. Thank you for this great job.

I've noticed the following issues:

A330:
The Panel (2D nor 3D) are not displayed: I've noticed that the Panel= is pointing to vc, which does not exist in the folder tree
I've noticed that the painting of the front edge of the wings is quite blurry. Do you have the same (I'll try to include a snapshot later this week)

B767:
Same as A330 for the Panel. I've noticed in the aircraft.cfg that the panel= point to 2. Should be blank.

Cheers
Kristoff (EHM-1945)

[EHM-1821 Javier]

I noticed that about the A330 wings too

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Thank you Christophe, those should be correct by now. The B767 did not have a rear view in the cockpit, that was also added.

I will look after the A330 texture problem.

Thank you Bruce for the Saab testing. Although the 20000 value means not rpm but 20000%, because that should be a percentage parameter. But if it works that way, then it is okay. When I tried the autopilot I found that it cannot maintain a given speed with the throttle, it was oscillating. I will modify the files then to contain these new numbers for contact points, and autopilot settings

[EHM-1651 Christian]

And would you look into the VSI aswell can't get it above 1000fpm even with an AOA of 30degrees. On the SAAB 2000

[EHM-1001 Robert]

A330 textures corrected. The leading edge looks blurry, although it have only a "striped" texture.

I corrected the SAAB CFG as well. I am sorry Christian, but I do not have any problem with the VSI gauge on the Saab. It just works well at me :s

[TheLoneRanger]

Great planes, but I have flown de the new 747 and it's very nervous. I was trting to land on LSZH rwy 16 on the ILS, via de autopilot I try to stay at 4000 ft, but it kept climbing and descending all the time. I tried the old 747 and there was no problem.
Anyone have the same?

[EHM-1695 Hélio]

I already instaled the A320, 330 and 340.

I merged the 340 model, with PSS panel, and i noticed that the taxi lights don't work... Is that normal? Thanks!

[EHM-1570 Bruce]

Hi Robert
  I have done a few flights in the new Saab and the aircraft was bouncing on takeoff and landing, this is with the modified contact points. I have looked further into the problem and have cured the bouncing. the problem is in the aircraft.cfg file in the Moments of Inertia section, the first line empty_weight_pitch = was set at 160000.0, I altered this figure to the BSMP figure of 231763.0 and the bouncing has disappeared, I have taxied and landed on various surfaces with no bouncing

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Thanks Bruce, another strange solution, but if it works, then it is okay. Anyway if you increase that parameter, you may feel that the plane  pitching/bowing is very rapid.

I hope you did not try to land the 747 with full load. If you use fuel / not load so much, then you should not feel that oscillation.

[EHM-1001 Robert]

I do not know what happened, but the 744 was really oscillating. I could adjust it so it is much better now. The principle is the less the weight, the more stable the altitude hold

Here is a quickfix: http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/robert/B744.zip

Now uploading the plane for complete download...

I am sorry but the A340 do not have a visible taxi light from inside the cockpit. It is a 5 year old model, it is possible that you could not see it in now :s

Robert,

I've installed the new fleet 767 and noticed that the aircraft's sound folder aliases it to the 737. However this folder also includes the many panel sounds (co-pilot callouts etc). I think these should be installed to the main FS9/Sounds folder rather than here.

They all work on mine because I've already got Lonny Payne's panels installed so the files are already in the right place but has anyone installed the 767 who's never installed LP's 757 or 767 panels before?

If so, do you get co-pilot callouts for things like the flap setting and "gear's coming up"? If not, copy all the sound files (but not the sound.cfg text file) from the 767's sound folder into your main FS9/Sound folder and see if this makes things a whole lot noisier for you...

I could be wrong and maybe they work from here but in the original instructions for FS2002 I know you had to put them in the main sound folder for them to work.

EDIT: To be sure about this, I just removed my LP panel sounds from my main Sound folder and went for a spin.  The 767 doesn't load the callouts from its own sound folder - it just makes a 'bing' noise when you change flap setting etc instead of playing the appropriate co-pilot callout.

So I'm pretty sure these sounds need to be moved for anyone who hasn't already got them from another aircraft (EHO 757 for instance)

[EHM-1001 Robert]

Thanks Dom, good advice I put them there because many panels requests the panel sounds to be there Ths sound.cfg usually refers only engine sounds and general sounds.

I will change that tonite

Bouncing problem again...

Now is with A340-500... I departed from Lisbon and the aircraft bounced until 110Kt (more or less). When i landed at oslo, the aircraft bouced at a crazy way from touch down until it stop on the runway for the first time!!! At oslo the bouncing problem coused many tail strikes, one after another...:[

Other problem... The FL pirep gave me the error related with aircraft capacity... Is there a new version of FL for the new fleet?

Thanks

[EHM-1001 Robert]

I will check that out I guess if you press Update button on your FL it will download the new PAX capacities as well.

[EHM-1001 Robert]

I found the same Panel Sounds issue in the A333 and the Dash8, so I updated them as well.

For the bouncing A345 I have no clue. Try to increase this parameter in the Aircraft.CFG file:

empty_weight_pitch_MOI  = 20000000 ... to be...say 30 million.

Good luck.

[EHM-1657 Jay]

The new fleet is amazing, cannot wait for my favourite payware to become available in it as well

[EHM-1821 Javier]

I got a problem, i dont know what caused it...ive got a disco A330:8


when i tested the plane once i downloaded it weeks ago, it was alright but after downloading the A330 with the corrected wing textures, i didnt test it, today i got a new soundpack for the A330 and i got this disco plane :S

dont know whats the problem but thats the only time it was a disco plane, i just reloaded the plane again and its back to normal..

[EHM-1001 Robert]

I guess it was a videocard bug. Used to happen in overclocking situations

I found the nasty "shakin" bug at the  Beech-1900. I do not know if it came in front at me from the SP2, or .NET installation, but it is very weird that bugs just appear.

Anyway, if you have the same bug, you can download an updated Beech now.

Thank you.

[EHM-1617 Iain]

Javier, update your video drivers.

[EHM-1612 Paolo]

I am sorry to start this topic again, but I've just started installing the new fleet and all the others add ons and I have a very big problem with all of new EHM aircrafts...the panel...On all EHM panels I don't have gauges and there are only black areas, I really don't know what to do. :%
It happens only with our new fleet, because I tried to change all the panels and the result is the same, and also on the old fleet is working fine...
Can someone explain me what to do? Is it a problem with my .cfg files??? Is it possible that other add ons could have done this?
Thanks,
Paolo
