Hi JL,

I have 3 questions:

#1 what defines the target pitch att. during GRD-FLT transition when rotating? When above 8deg. it switches to FLT..ok. but with what target, is there any target pitch? Is the target the pitch to maintain SRS? But I assume that SRS should only define the FD bars to keep the set speed but not really influencing the pitch att. when in manual flight... the transition is way better now but it still gently pitches up without stick-input during rotation.

#2 I have a little request: Could you please add one output which shows if the AC is electrically powered or not. With that additional output we could control stuff like backlighting, floodlights etc. So if you turn off the AC the cockpit goes really dark as well.

#3 I still struggle with the brightness for PFD and ND. Could you please explain what is an "OFF-Zone" in the configurator? Does that value needs to be bigger than the Off-value itself? I think I know what you mean but I can do what I want... I think meanwhile I tried everything --> I can change the brightness of both but they both dont go completely OFF. Only pretty dark still seeing the contours of the ND and PFD. Any Idea?

Thanks & regards,
Rob

Hi




@Leonidas: do you use FDS hardware? if so just update again, I hope it will solve your error.
Regarding Spoilers, if you also use FDS hard with them, go to IIT_Creator, and change the assignation to spoiler ARM/DISARM function.
EPR mode:NO, this one comes up every few months. These are remainings of a very old version where I had EPR displays, but I will not do an EPR version in the near(quite long) future.

@Rob:
#1 the transition is a mix between direct stick to elevator and g factor hold. Depending on the trim, the pitch can change during the 5 seconds after reaching pitch above 8°.
SRS will try to make you keep V2+10 knots.

#2 this already exists: offset $7394 bit N°0

#3 OFF zone is the width of the potentiometer zone around the physicla OFF position. Just like neutral zone for pitch/roll axis. It should be non-0 and small (about 1% of the total potentiometer course).

FDS error: Solved!
Spoilers disarm error: Solved!

Perfecto...

Hi JL,

I downloaded latest update today, and it looks like I am having a flaps problem now. I am not using any key strokes or buttons for flaps, but one axis of my Saitek throttle quadrant, defined in the JL server configuration tool. I redefined it once more, but I cannot extend the flaps any more. Hydraulics are green. The EWD displays the requested position (e.g. 2) in blue, but nothing happens:

Hi

The bugs with flaps axis in FS9 should be corrected by latest auto update.

Hi JL,

thanks for the update. I can confirm that the bug is fixed for me.

Hi JH
I have problems with the displays. I run they on an old Dell-PC with an ATI Radeon X300 SE. I can't start they.
Is that a problem with the graphiccard or can you fix it?
