Title: Dornier 328-120
Post by: EHM-1744 Danny on October 23, 2005, 08:29:45 pm

Can anyone tell me how I can shut the Dornier 328-120 out??
Today I had finished a flight, and I want to shut the plane down with ctrl+e. But this doesn't work. I also killed the battery, but whit no result.

Because of this, I couldn't send the pirep with Pro Pilot.

ctrl+shift+f1 cuts the fuel suply. Or you can go to engine panel by clicking on the respective clickspot. Then manually pulling down the fuel cuttoff levers. But they both have the same effect

Thank you!
But I have one last question....
When I fly in the Dornier 328-120 and I'm climbing after take-off, I put automatic pilot on.
I also click on the HDG and ALT buttons. But when I set the speed up to 250 in the speed hold selector the real speed goes higher when I set the gas-handle open.

How can I set the speed on 250 in the speed hold selector the right way?

Well, it depends on the panel you use, but on the Ken Mitchell panel recommended, there is not Autothrottle function.

I use the default panel that comes with the aircraft....
But the next problem apears... I finished a flight from EHAM to LKKV. I have shutdown the aircraft and send the pirep. I have locked a new flight from LKKV to EHAM, but when I look at my altimeter I noticed that it stands on 2500 ft. But the aircraft stands on the ground... With the first landing I had the same problem. The real hight was 1200 ft but the altimeter says 2650 ft.

How is possible?

As the altimeter gauge works relatively to a pressure change, it needs a calibration level on the ground. Also, to synchronize settings in the air, all planes must use a standard calibration level high up.

You should set your altimeter gauge for proper pressure level. Before you start your engines, press B and it will calibrate your altimeter to the departure airport. If you pass transition level, or FL180 max, press B again, so it will calibrated to standard 29.92 HgIn. If you go below FL180, or near the destination airport, press B again, and it will calibrate your altimeter to the departure airport height.

If you fly offline, you can listen to ATC, and they will always tell other pilots too the correct pressure, which you can set manually too on your altimeter gauge.

If you fly offline, with a static weather, you do not need to calibrate altimeter. If you fly online expect rapid pressure changes, as in real ;)
