Re: website issues???

That explains it. It is all Snoopy's fault. Blast that Red Barron.

Now, there is a song and a cartoon out of the past. :D

Re: How to make the Cessna 172's spinner metallic?

I am going to start this off with a clean slate, no aircraft paint scheme, just a basic C172. I am also assuming that you know absolutely nothing about working on the Alpha Channel. For info, I am using Photoshop CS6 on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Your screen may look slightly different, but the work sho...

Re: How to make the Cessna 172's spinner metallic?

Jerrivel6060. Okay. It is a little late in the day right now, but let me put together some stuff for you and I will post again tomorrow morning (my time - Chicago). It is going to get a little deep, but I will keep it as simple as I can.

Re: Error 525 for forum and site

It looks like the server issue again. It has been going on for a couple days now. Hope Scott or somebody is reading the mail on this.

Re: How to make the Cessna 172's spinner metallic?

There are a couple steps involved. First, you have to color the spinner in your main 'paint here' layer for the specific paint. This MUST be gray, shade to your taste but you can follow what I show below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nvdrdx1wrdt36f6/Aircraft%20paint%20layer.jpg?dl=1 Then, you have to a...

Re: Autopilot NAV Mode with RXP GTN 750

My usual procedure is to let the S-Tec follow the magenta line in HI TRK, but I keep the heading bug aligned with the route, and watch the GTN 750 for upcoming course changes in the flight plan. Then, a minute or so before a change in direction, I switch from HI TRK to HD and make the turn with the...

Re: Saitek X52 Pro throttle problem

Hi Alan, Yet another X-52 Pro user (FSX-Gold). One major thing to check, and I know it sounds trivial, but check and double check the cable between the throttle and the joystick and the cable down to the USB port. If you can, try a different USB port as well. I have been bitten by that dog already. ...

Re: Autopilot NAV Mode with RXP GTN 750

Agree Michael......As I said, I changed from the F1GTN 750 (also have the 650) to the RXP GTN 750 (also have the 650 there too) and I don't recall ever seeing the left/right drift with the F1. Therefore, not sure it is an A2A problem or the difference in tracking between the two GTN suppliers. I ten...

Re: Autopilot NAV Mode with RXP GTN 750

Yes. I recently switched over from F1 to Reality's GTN and saw the same exact thing. I know that the autopilot is constantly trying to search for the correct course, but this did seem a bit over the top and was very noticeable. I will have to check more closely to see if it is happening in the Chero...

Re: Aerostar

Thanks for the update Scott. Can hardly wait. Have to pass this along from my Air Force days. New troops were often sent for a bucket of 'prop wash' and of course the old timers would send them all over the squadron looking for it. But there was one day that we had a C-124 Globemaster in the hangar ...

Re: Shopping for a Photobucket replacement

That is what really locked my jaws Steve. I have been a paying customer for many, many years. I lived through the last increase in charges a couple years back, but this time, with no notice, they started this crap with blurring out (even my aircraft types in my signature). When I tried to get the l...
