Flight Illusion Problems

[davemckee]

Anyone dealing with this company having problems? i/e returning or answering emails. I sent an order equaling almost $1000 usd, sent 2 emails about the order, and am getting NO replies. Not very good PR for a business.

Just wait till the gauges die...like mine...ZERO help.

[CrashEd]

I finally received a reply with copies attached of prior emails sent by FI which I NEVER received. According to FI shipment will not be made till mid Feb. We'll see. Thanks guys for your input. Dave

Same here (a full Cessna setup! ;) ) Never had a single problem in nearly a year of use. Solid as a rock.

Dave> It took them 3 months to make mine, but I did have several custom gauges made. It was well worth the wait though.

[tugo31]

The wait is worth it, great items, im now dealing with my overhead bundle set up for pmsystems, good luck.

[Melnato]

Hi Gerry If you have a solution then I d love to know.

My entire OH set is dead...no movement...no lighting...

Hey Nat, did you upgrade anything of the software?? does they work with the FI software?? if not you maybe can check the fuses in the GSA55, they might be damaged.

Iim having trouble with my fuel gauge, temp reads in pmsystems 20 and in the gauge shows -20, the dif pressure double gauge doesnt match with the one show at pmsys, and also the oxygen doesn show any movement. im working on it :(((

[Melnato]

I wish it was that easy...they worked for one year..then...nothing.
Fusues OK, PM OK, checked with another GSA card too.

There is no initial clicking when powered which to me means the motors are dead.

Flight Illusion is not one of our sponsors, so I don't want someone accusing me of playing favorites because they are advertisers :) :) :)

Flight Illusions has been around for years, and has a fantastic reputation for quality gauges. It's my understanding they are always running in overload becasue of the high demand for their product.

There, I said it :) :) and didn't even get paid to say it, LOL.

PS if this doesn't look right... format messed up, mispelling, etc.... I'm on the road with limited sources. :(

My last order took 3 months to arrive. Im using some of their older software, the lastest version wouldnt work on my computer. Computers are something else, what works fine on one crashes another.

My Flight Illusion Altimeter died after a year and I never got a reponse.

I love their attitude indicator with its fast movement and continuous 360 degree roll.

Thats exactly what my altimeter did as well. However, their attitude indicator has worked perfectly for me since 2007.

[tugo31]

So far an after a few hours dealing with, almost all my gauges are working.

Nat, did your oxy press gauge used to work?? beecause its the only one i cant make it run, so any advice will be very appreciated, here are my settings:

180, 1, apuegt, 0.72, 4000
181, 1, cabinclimb, 1, 1000
182, 1, cabinalt, 1, 2000
182, 2, diffpress, max 10000, 2000
183, 1, bleedpsi1, max 80, 500
183, 2, bleedpsi2, max 80, 500
184, 1, fueltemp, 1, 4000
185, 1, cabintemp, 0.66, 2000
186, 1, oxypress, 0.66, 2000

[Melnato]

Hmmm... from memory my Diff Pressure never worked, Cabin climb or the Oxy Press.

Dont get me wrong, I was happy with the gauges when they worked
BUT for 1000 Euro, you would expect some sort of help or apology or something, but
instead...silence...pathetic really.

Well, after reading and asking in other spanish forums, not all the flight illusion overhead gauges are functional with PMSYSTEMS, i meet a few guys that told me they have the same doubt about me: the oxy press and cabin climb gauges are not functional with pm, we have been asking for support or if they will be updating this issue and there was no reasonable answer. i been told there are a few new options for systems simulation, but they are only for FSX, and all my systems is based on FS9, so lets se whats going next and i hope PM can solve this. have a nice weekend.

Here is the new option for systems logics, such a shame it is only for FSX because im stuck with FS9, the new era of software is here, great support and good plans for fast future programs development, and with good prices, good luck L4SC.
