Gee I missed the Computer. I think I was shocked when I read that one of Ken's friends was included and felt sad for Ken.

i wonder what other little virtual surprises one can get from a virtual A2A plane? :lol: I think with A2A aircraft, you should assume that anything that can happen in a real aircraft can happen in your sim. :) For example, while I've never blown a tire, or had to replace tires due to wear, I'm not ...

I've had water in the fuel a couple of times. i hope you mean virtually you had water in your fuel?? Everything I wrote applies to the sim. I don't fly in real life. The only time I've had a real life problem with water in the fuel was with a Goldwing motorcycle that had filled the water trap and t...

I've had water in the fuel a couple of times. All you need to do is keep checking the fuel until there is no more water. The water is easy enough to see at the bottom of the jar although you might miss it when it's just a tiny bit. I'm not sure what happens if you try to fly with water in the fuel, ...

I'm not sure what GSX might do if you request push back with only one engine running; I don't have it. Typically I'll start all four engines before requesting pushback, and I usually wait for them to get to operating temperature. I've seen advice to use only the inboard engines to taxi, leaving the ...

Sorry about the lost passenger! That is some simulation.

Here's the entire story of that:

Do not start engine 1 or 2 before you finish boarding and the cabin is secure. I left all the engines running on the Stratocruiser once during unboarding to keep the plane cool and lost a passenger. If you start engine 4, it is enough to get the cabin cool. The FE will take care of it. You may get c...

I had the same problem, and I do not use FSUIPC. The button would work on one flight, not work on another. This was not the first time the configurator did not work on an A2A aircraft. I eventually gave up on it and changed the settings to not need the <strikeout>manual pump</strikeout> electric pum...

If I remember right, the inboard tanks must have as much or more fuel than the outboard tanks or the FE gets confused and won't work the fuel valves correctly. In other words, fill the inboard tanks first, then the outboard tanks, and do not land if either outboard tank has more than 900 gallons of ...

This sounds for all the world like an Out Of Memory error. Please note that you will NOT always get the OOM dialog when this happens. This is a reason why it will happen in FSX and P3D up to v3, but not in P3Dv4 and above which is 64 bit. Even then it's probably better not to switch between any two ...

Since my re-install of P3Dv2 in July 2018 and subsequent purchase of P3Dv4, these are my highest time aircraft: Golden Age Stearman, two versions: 642.4 hours Manfred Jahn C-47: 543.1 hours Aerosoft BeaverX (converted to P3Dv2 and v4): 508.7 hours A2A Piper Cub: 258.8 hours A2A Constellation: 200.2 ...

Thanks, Skycat. I'm personally holding out for P3D to include streaming scenery. I believe this is likely to happen as now that MSFS has proven it's feasible; P3D's clients are likely to be demanding it. Imagine downloading an update to P3D and seeing a new option: "Streaming Scenery ON/OFF". Everyt...

Since the 377 was never updated beyond FSX and won't work in P3Dv4 (it seemed to work in v2 but I never actually flew it there), it's is highly unlikely that it will ever be made to work in MSFS. Unfortunate, as I did love that plane. User ports of FSX aircraft to MSFS are unsatisfactory. They can b...

I logged in with a different browser and got the P-40 logo. You're probably right about it being a cache issue.
