its a combination of both The school is still out on this one, so please let us know how you go... as I tried to say, "it might help, it might have no effect"

also, install the sim to a directory outside of the C:\ Program Files (eg C:\ Games - which you would need to create)

that's why you should trim for the speed (with the refuel flap open) before you get to the pump split throttles and correct trim/ throttle adjust will put you right on the knot. Contactor.cfg has a line for Trimmer Gain, set to 1.0 by default... knocking this down to 0.5 seems to make a difference - it might also just be a placebo effect.

that could always have been done... FC3 did a once only check for the requisite entries at install.

could always just use the link software to set the fans to a suitable level, then uninstall the link software... stopping that half second blip

Don't see much patience being displayed at the moment :music_whistling:

lol, and get near the ground a bit quicker :) @Bitmaster... I mentioned "Atmospherics" not "Aerodynamics". Some things are achievable with an RC plane which can't be with a real world plane without it ripping its wings off.

"Relative wind" (Airflow) generally, is the same as "direction of travel".. you can achieve the same AoA at different pitch angles, in a climb or in a dive or in level flight (note: these are directions of travel). Similarly, you can arrive at a high or a low AoA in level flight (travelling forward)... again, this depends on the pitch angle of the aircraft if throttle setting isn't altered to suit. generally, when landing in landing configuration and you need to slow down a bit, you pitch up

Pitch angle and speed are linked in landing... Angle of Attack is the angle of the wing chord in relation to the plane's direction of travel.

if your ILS tells you, you are below the ILS glidepath, throttle up slightly(which nudges the plane forward a bit) to ascend to the ILS "beam" (which is what you want to ride down - glideslope) and then pulling back the throttle a tad to "capture" the glideslope. What has happened is, you have slightly increased your angle of descent, which does increase the AoA even though your plane's inclination may not actually have changed at all (AoA is the angle of the wings in relation to the direction of travel), in the process slowing down a bit.. thereby requiring a slight pitch down to pick up some speed if required.

well... you've said exactly the same thing I did but in a different way, but digress slightly off "landing". lets just keep it to "Landing"/ "Landing Configuration"/ "Maintaining Slope and Speed", and not confuse things the thing with RC planes is the lack of weight, compared to the real thing... you may have an accurate scale model, but you don't have accurate scaled weight and accurate scaled atmospherics which is why you get into the correct configuration first.. from there it is just simple adjustments as required (in good flying conditions) when flying along normally... gotta keep in mind though, when landing (on Final) you are basically on a glide

and we all know that if the reply came back as "It'll be done in 10 minutes", it well could well take another hour, at least... so; "We have no concrete information on the release date, we do know it is actively being worked on and software of this nature does take time to develop...so, nothing else can be offered except: it will be done when its done" perhaps? gotta agree, it looks great

I think he said we can read regular size type just fine

The AoA indicator, (just below and left of the Compass - item 6 on the first image) is a very useful indicator... use trim the set the pitch so the needle sits between 19 ~ 21 on final, for the recommended approach speed. Once you get your basic pitch right, the (reverse of the normal situation) nose up/ down for speed and throttle up/ down for altitude (in reference to the glideslope) when flaps are deployed will start to make sense. If your plane is pitched correctly and you find yourself below the glideslope, pushing the throttle up a bit, causes the plane to move along a more horizontal line (remembering here that you are on a controlled sloping descent) and move forward to the glidescope. Keep in mind that deploying flaps, alters trimmed pitch With speed... well, we can't use the throttle anymore for that, and seeing as were are already on a sloping path (not flying horizontally) to the airstrip, so the underplane is acting as a brake anyway - we might as well continue to use this for speed control. We nose up a bit, so to present a bit more underplane surface area to the airflow, and similarly to speed up a touch - lower the nose to reduce the amount of underplane surface area is exposed. (second image gives an idea of what happens) Deploying landing gear, slows you down a bit With all that, its now relatively easy to keep your eye on the donut, crosshairs in the centre and the pipper on the end of the runway... look for the pipper "sliding" up or down the runway, (sliding up the runway - throttle down) which you need to do for the last couple of hundred metres.

yes, but how does it perform with other apps? :D oops...

IP addy's are really easy to change as well... downside (once again only affecting the innocent) is list of IP's are built up, of which an innocent player may have his (dynamic, from a similar area) IP as one listed on there

good advice, but don't forget to trim with fuel flap => Open

I'm still running my Auzentech X-Fi Prelude (PCI)... best sounding card ever http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/x-fi_prelude.php#specifications more to the point... TEST: Setting CPU Affinity. as with any good testing regime, testing one component should be done in relation to other components/ settings for a true indication of any pro's/ con's achieved (eg Setting Affinity on an XP System along with the better Page File fix, gave a better result than just the Affinity being set or Page File being relocated to its own dedicated drive.)

Which only fuels the Chinese Whispers... Well, it (Nevada/ E.D.G.E.) won't be ready until its ready, so might as well make the best of it until then :music_whistling: :)

Its always best to wait for Official Word from The Producers... the rest is just noise, conjecture, impatience doing the typing, people sounding knowledgeable and others stirring the pot, misinterpreting or just plain confused.

AI usually insists they have right of way and too bad if its you in their way :)

have you tried running without both or either of the [ --noreplay --trackfile ] commands? just a thought
