Plz report here your comments positive/negative about the new fleet. Thank you very much.
EuroHarmony MT.
-
I am very impressed with the new fleet! Thanks so much for putting in the time and effort, to make this amazing new feature!;D
-
WOOHOO! The moment has finally come ;D;D
I'm sorry to have to report the first bug; when I clicked 'download' for the new Beech 1900D, it said the page could not be found.
Otherwise, I'm also very impressed ;D A big thank you to the management for the new-and-improved division! ;)
-
Thx, Beech and the big Airbus link corrected ;) Enjoy.
-
Excellent work yet again Robert - I'm so looking forward to trying out the new colour ATR-72, it's such a great aircraft! I've already downloaded most of the fleet, got some pretty serious flying ahead to try them all out... :P
-
Hey,...
made my first flight with the new Dash Q400 - a fantastic plane...beautiful design. Congratulations - you made a very good job. Thanx for that...and I'm really looking forward trying all the other new planes.

I just downloaded and installed all the new aircraft... WOW. I really like the airport bus and the new Boeing 747 hub colors.... thanks very much again!! :D
-
First of all, as always great work looks fantastic. As far I have only downloaded one aircraft, the one that's going to get me back to ESSA from Canada. Been wait for the release.
I don't know if it's my FS or it the aircraft. I downloaded the A345. And was for some reason almost parked on top of another aircraft. So I would move it a little bit and hit the slew button. As soon as I have done this an release the button again (unslew) it runs of at full speed. Is it me or the aircraft?
-
It's funny you should mention that as I had that problem with some the V3 aircraft... I always just assumed it was an FS thing though! :)

I've had this problem too. For me, this has always happened with the aircraft if it is raised (during slew) even a couple of feet off the ground. In one particularly memorable event, at the gates after landing in Lima (SPIM), I slewed the aircraft back a little so it would be parked correctly. I pressed unslew and the aircraft slammed into the terminal because, during the slew it was raised off the ground. VERY inconvenient! So from what I can tell it's a flight sim thing, not to worry ;)
-
That is why I always hit F1 before return from SLEW ;) It happens with some other aircraft as well.
-
I LOVE THE FLEET!!!!;D;D;D
Now to fly the A345 to WSSS and back!;D
-
Thanks very much for the excellent work Robert - especially the ATR-72 delights my heart!
-
Problem! the SAAB 2000 is vibrating when engines are on and throttle at idle, gets worse when you start moving, and the nose gear keeps bumping during push back, landing and taxi
and the A345, keeps shaking and the rudder left right left right...
-
Ok, I have several problems;
I was going through the fleet, checking out all the planes in flight sim, and I successfully loaded all the turboprops. However, when I go to the class 4 planes and beyond, some had problems (which caused FS to freeze meaning I had to restart it) when loading, and others loaded but didn't have panels. So I restarted FS and now, when I try and select a jet and click 'fly now' FS simply closes. This doesn't happen to the Boeing 747 or the Airbus A320 and A340. Any ideas?
-
i encountered the planes without panels too, for that, check the cfg file for the panel line and make sure its correct.
-
Congratulations and well done to all who worked on the new fleet.
As it is bloody horrible here today it will be a day of much downloading.
Well done
Andy
-
Great work team. Look brilliant, just need to start downloading and test flying now.
Thanks for all the hard work,
Jim
-
The Saab 2000 is a nice surprise - I've not really used it much before as I preferred the ATRs as turboprops but with the new paintjob it looks really good and has some lovely animations on the ground...
-
Thanks to the fleet managenment for the excellent work, I really apreciate that. Cant wait to fly some of the new colours :)
-
Could you tell me if the new livery is already on IVAO MTL?
I really want to see the new A340-500...
Good job!!!:>
Humm, when a L1011?;D
-
Fantastic ;D All that's left now are the divisions;)
PROBLEM!!!
Started installing the new fleet, installed 3 aircraft, and when started the FS, first there was an error message for scenery folder missing from a LAGO folder?! After that comes an error intializing POSKY a330-300v2 and the FS crashes! PLEASE HELP!!! I really don't want to reinstall!!!
-
Hi folks,
thank you for the kind words, the work continues :P
About the strange freezes, I can only say that try to install another panel for the problematic airplane. If you succeed with the new panel, then probably there is a gauge in the attached panel that does not "like" your system.
In the past I had a nasty Fuel Calculator gauge problem with FS. It was said, that the gauge will not work on XP-Home, and neither on non-English XPs !!! When I loaded the plane with that panel, FS crashed randomly within 1-5 minutes, or sometimes immediately. Then I contacted with the author and he sent me a fix for all international XPs.
I wanted to say this, because annoying problems may occur in the strangest moments, and if it is a local problem and not a general, the only answer is: the problem is in your system. It can be either a wrong installation, or an installed add-on, or basically the FS version, or the Windows version that does not feel comfortable with other softwares...many things can happen. Do not forget that most of the gauges are simply DLL files. These contains functions from other DLL files, and if those are not correct in age, or version, the gauge will fail, and may freeze FS.
-
Thanks for the help Robert, I'll be giving that a try today! I can't wait to get familiar with all the new aircraft and their flight dynamics. The timing was great because the school year ended just last week :)
-
Well... what should I do? Since I installed the a330, I can't fly :( I deleted the new fleet aircrafts, but the FS crashed again. I haven't mantioned this, but the FS crashes on startup.
-
SAAB 2000
1. Bouncing(new Dash8???LOL)
2. VSI isn't working angel of attack 30* up, VSI shows climb of under 1000fpm
3. Why has the panel propeller setting the SAAB 2000 electronic controled pitch.
-
Ivan,
I don't know if this might be your problem but I just installed the new A330 and I see that in the aircraft folder there is a Modules folder. Did you install the two modules in that folder into your FS9/Modules folder?
If so that might have caused a problem as I remember reading in another Forum about some panels using an old 'gps_export.dll' module that caused FS9 to crash. FS9 already has a version of this module and older versions can cause a problem.
So, you need to go into your FS9 installation and check the date of this module in the 'Modules' folder - my one has the date of 01/09/04 and is the original one off the FS9 discs. If yours is older (the one in the A330 folder is dated 01/04/2002) I would suggest you copy it somewhere safe then explore your FS9 installation discs and find this module and copy it across, overwriting the older version. Then see if FS9 starts ok...
EDIT: Just thought of another possibility. Are you aware of the [Old Modules] section in your FS9.cfg file? If not it may be you need to add the following there:
[OldModules]
FSSound.dll=1
to allow the FSSound.dll to work properly...
If this doesn't solve the problem I'm not sure what will solve it - as Robert says there are so many variables between different systems.
Good luck!
-
I just installed a new panel for the Fokker 70, so it is finally working... wow. I am absolutely blown away by the new model and especially the sounds! It certainly sounds a lot more powerful and is a little heavier on the controls but that's ok. It will surely be a pleasure to continue flying it on the world tour!! :):)
-
Just to pick up on Christians point above, can anybody else confirm problems with the SAAB 2000 Bouncing?
I have tried it numerous times tonight on my setup but it works fine.... Then again, I have had so many versions, I may have a something wrong in my system that stops it from happening. :)
Thanks.
-
I've been out in the Saab and no bouncing for me...
-
I discovered bouncing with planes only on runways that have Bricked surface. As soon as I changed it to concrete in AFCAD2, that bad effect gone.
-
Thanks Dominic... I haven't copied the files from the aircraft folder.... and I have added the fssounds to the fs9.cfg file... :((
But why does the FS crash when I delete the plane? I'm not much into programming, but is there another place, besides the aircraft folder, from which I have to delete something?
-
Ivan,
When you install a new plane there will often be new files for that plane installed in some other locations apart from the 'aircraft' folder (as a general rule, some don't but the more complex/interesting the plane the more likely it adds other folders ;)). The most common are:-
the gauges folder (where the gauges for the instrument panel live),
the effects folder (to see things like smoke when your wheels touch down),
the sound folder (often little sounds for the panel like the click noise some switches make or GPWS whooping noises)
the modules folder (where FSSound.dll and other .dll's live)
There are some utilities that scan your installation of Flightsim and remove surplus gauges etc (as long as no other plane uses them too) - you could try one of these to see if there's something extra got into your FS9 that doesn't need to be there... Search for 'GaugeExplorer' or 'FlightSim Manager' under FS2004 Utilities on Avsim - I haven't included direct links so you can have a look at the descriptions and see if they suit what you want before deciding to download...
From your original post you mentioned a 'Lago' folder - this (as far as I know) won't be anything to do with our fleet... Do you have any planes or addon scenery by Lago? Is there a 'Lago' folder in your FS9 installation?
And finally (and forgive me if you do this already) have you run a virus check on your system and checked your hard drive for errors and defragmented? Problems in Flightsim can be caused by other issues in your computer setup because FS9 is such a demanding application...
I hope you can solve this Ivan, if you need any more explanation of my post please feel free to ask.
-
I downloaded both, but with gaugeexploerer I don't know really what to do, and the FlightSim manager which I downloaded from avsim.net crashes, becaues it's an old version. I try the adress it gives me, but it doesn't exist... :(((
EDIT: I'll reinstall FS... I'm desperate and pissed off... d**n MCROSOFT!!! ;)
-
Ivan,
Very sorry I couldn't help - I haven't used those programs from Avsim myself so I wasn't aware they weren't very user friendly :$ I was just going from other people's recommendations...
Hope you can get flying again soon ;)
-
Thanks Dominic for the detailed explanation. I am sorry that the A330 may caused some harm to the system. It is true that the gps-export.dll should not be there for FS2004. I will fix that issue tonite. Also I forgot to fix the A330 Virtual Cockpit, and will do it as well ;)
-
Robert,
Can you give Ivan a list of files that the A330 installer package installs outside of the aircraft folder so he can delete each one to try and rectify the problem without having to re-install.
Thanks
-
Sure, and will. The funny thing if you install it to the correct folder, there should not be any problem, because the nasty DLL was packed to a wrong path, where it cannot run from ! Anyway I will fx this issue.
-
Well... Didn't work. Re-installed the whole FS and crashed again... The same error with initializing POSKY Airbus A330-300 v2
I just don't know what to say...
And to think I have to reinstall all add-ons all over again... and for nothing...
-
Well... it's fixed... A fourth reinstall... Good thing a friend said I should see if there's anything in the registry... Or at least that must be it...
-
I have just downloaded the new fleet, and there is an error in the E170 aircraft.cfg file stopping the panel from being loaded. If you open the aircraft.cfg file, in the first section on the line panel= there is a 3 following the = sign this has to be removed and the file saved and the panel will now display.
-
There is also an error in the A333 aircraft.cfg file where the panel= line has vc following the = sign, but there is no vc panel so the vc has to be removed in order to display the panel correctly
-
Hello pilotfrends i hawe some bugs to report aswell the saab 2000 is bumping upp and down when im taxi and on the runway and the autotrothle is not working corect i cant get it upp to sped.but anyway nice work with the new fleet.
-
Bruce,
I think it's a typo in the A333 .cfg - the vc should be after "model=" rather than after "panel=" so if you swap the vc between those two you get the right panel and the virtual cockpit!
-
Thank you Bruce, it gives a little light to the darkness. The problem is that the airplanes are placed in development phase at me, and when I collect the files for installation, some bugs can remain in them.
OK gentlemen, as Bruce said, we have 3 small bugs so far: in the B767, A330, and E170. The A330 Virtual Cockpit issue was fixed (at least it works at me) All these 3 packages are now uploaded to the site.
About the SAAB bouncing, there must be something different in our systems. I found very strange behaviors at the A320, which was invisible at the betatesters. Now I corrected it, but the change is still invisible in their FS. Now I can only think about FSUIPC.dll It can change a lot of things in FS depending if you have registered or unregistered copy.
As I wrote in the installer, the AutoThrottle does not work on the SAAB because FS cannot control the torque of the engines.

I tried that, and it removed my A330 from my computer. I'm downloading it again and I will let you know how it turns out...
Edit: I just uninstalled, re-downloaded and re-installed the A330. The panel and virtual cockpit work!
Before I re-downloaded, I edited the .cfg file to say "panel= model=vc" and then simply deleted the A330 folder from my aircrafts folder. I downloaded the v4 A330 from the fleet page, installed and it all works! The .cfg file says:
"panel=
model=vc"
Maybe if others follow this it will work for them! Thanks for the help Bruce and Dominic ;)
-
Before i forget, is the A330 supposed to lean back and let its tail hit the ground with full fuel load? :s
-
It always depend on the summa payload. In case you do not load the plane over MTOW it should not do that. If you overload the plane it can be either nose or tail-heavy, resultingweird movements.
BTW, if anybody have problem with the A320 nosegear, and too much bow when braking, please report...I already have a fix for that.
-
For Robert
I am not one to post many items on the Forum, unless I need help, which is always there.
Robert, you have done an amazing job on these Aircraft. I just did a short flight with the B1900 and it is teriffic!!
I'm sure whatever bugs are found will be quickly corrected,; however you did great work here, congratulations are in order.
This is a significant improvement to the overall appearance and effectiveness for our V.A.
Many Thanks for all your efforts!

Thanks for the answer, and i have the A320 problem, already used to it lol:]
-
Thank you Dan very much ! :8 Happy flying with the new airplanes !
I am going to post then the A320 fix tonite ;)
-
Here is a quick fix for the A320:
http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/robert/A322.zip
or you can reload and reinstall the whole aircraft ;)
-
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
-
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
-
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)
-
I noticed that about the A330 wings too
-
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 ;)
-
And would you look into the VSI aswell can't get it above 1000fpm even with an AOA of 30degrees. On the SAAB 2000
-
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
-
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?
-
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!
-
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
-
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.
-
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... ;D
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) ;)
-
Thanks Dom, good advice ;) I put them there because many panels requests the panel sounds to be there :P 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
-
I will check that out ;) I guess if you press Update button on your FL it will download the new PAX capacities as well.
-
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. ;)
-
The new fleet is amazing, cannot wait for my favourite payware to become available in it as well :)
-
I got a problem, i dont know what caused it...ive got a disco A330:8
(http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/38/fsscr003or6.png)
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..
-
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.
-
Javier, update your video drivers.
-
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
-
Hi Paolo,
if you install them automatically: select FS2004 folder and let the installer do it all for you. If you try any manual manipulation or manual unzipping, you will probably miss some files. So do not do more than select your FS2004 and click OK.
If your gauges still not appear then your FS installation have some bug probably.
-
I'm sorry Robert, I installed the planes automatically as always...does it change something if I install the old fleet planes and then I change the livery manually? The old fleet is working...:%
-
You can drag and drop the texture folders from the new fleet to the old one then...but there were many modifications on the flight dynamics too, which you cannot get this way.
-
Alright, thx for the help, but I think this is the only way to make the new fleet work on mine, I really like the new livery!! Especially on the big jets!
-
hi all, i'm afraid that i've got yet another problem with the saab...
i took it up in the sky before, and after a while the fs passangers told me that i was causing to much G forces. And i couldn't figure out why it said so,cause all my gauges seemed normal.. but then i checked the spot view and saw that the elevators was jumping like crazy, from the "up" position to the "down" position and back again. All the time with the joystick centred.. i reloaded the aircraft but it wouldn't help.. anybody that can help me? the old version of the saab works nicely..
thanx in advance ;)
