The A2A Simulations Community

I guess my excuse is just not paying attention, happy birthday plus a couple.

Glenn

Congratulations, Jake. As you know, the best is yet to come.

Glenn

I can’t miss this party! Happy Birthday, Lew.

Glenn

Almost all of my real flying is in C172's, no real time in a Comanche. That noted, I think in one of Scott's videos, he was talking about power settings. On thing he demonstrated was engine smoothness versus power settings, He noted a relatively low setting (doing this from memory) at about 19 squar...

Richard,

I don’t think your add on hardware is a real factor unless you are moving some 2D panels to a second monitor. If so, that could be the problem. You would be asking an underpowered video card to move a lot of dots.

Glenn

Richard, I’m not familiar with that card but I’m guessing it’s integrated in to the motherboard. So, I’m with Oracle, it sounds like your machine is a bit underpowered for what you are asking it to do. A2A mostly needs the graphics settings for things like number of light...

Richard,

I think most of have anger issues every so often so let's stick with the technical question for a while. More info please: What operating system? Assuming you are close to correct, what video card do you have?

Glenn

Maybe dumb questions but you didn't say so so we'll start with this:

Did you check the Maintenance hanger? Maybe the battery is dead.

Are you using the checklist in the manual?

Glenn

We're agreeing. In fact, I'm pretty sure the 10 minute routine came from a Cherokee discussion. One other thought, there are a lot of FSX aircraft that don't simulate the tank switches. At most, they have on and off but look at the tool tips. I think on some, they default to Both but work correctly ...

There has been a lot of discussion since last night but I don't see this question answered: "Switching tanks every few minutes? Can I get a reference quote on this? For how long, and how many minutes? For the whole flight or just climb? I know this is just a test with no FUS tank so I presume y...

Your first attempt to describe what's happening is on a seven month old thread so I think making a new one is the right thing to do. You sound like you do have some FSX experience so if I'm repeating things you know and have checked, I apologize. In neither this post or the older one, no one is desc...

I did something like that a few years ago in FS9, all around the continental US as close to the borders as I could get without crossing one. It took some time. Let's try an experiment: Leave your last saved flight for now. Start a new flight with a default saved flight and aircraft anywhere you like...

To be sure I understand, your default flight is based on a default aircraft? If so, and you switch to the A2A Cherokee, can you fly? I almost never switch aircraft in mid session because things typically get confused. I don't have FSUIPC and don't know what SPAD is so if they are part of the problem...

Much more info please. Tell us about the PC, operating system, hardware spec and so on. Also, what variant of FSX/P3D? Exactly which aircraft? Do non-A2A aircraft work OK? Did they ever work? Have you run the latest A2A update? With that, we might be able to help.

Glenn

Brendan,

Congratulations. Stay safe and God Bless. I hope you find a lot to love about your service.
