When was the last time your Sim used more than 2 Gigs? (shhh...don't tell anyone... but without a special patch even if you loaded it with god-knows-what, it can't handle more than 2)
-
no more and no less than any other establishment. Why should it be?

On a monkey colony monkeys rule everywhere. Do generals who are clean and pure and full of Trumpeldorian pathos turn into different people when they take off the uniform and turn to, say, politics?? bad, good, corrupt and not corrupt people exist everywhere and I don't believe the army or air force are an exception. Its personnel is a cross-section of the given society and reflect its habits and values - for better or worse. Bad cowboys in black hats and good ones in white exist only in spaghetti westerns.

@3DVG We are talking about the DME updating. The update is done by calculating the tangent point between the DME arc and the aircraft's heading (theta) My question is how can you be sure that the angle theta is correct If indeed , as Bruchi points out, any incorrection is of negligible scale then I have no further questions. Otherwise I don't understand how the magnetic flux valve corrects it. Wrong, the gyro will outline the orthodromic (great circle) course
-
Corrects to what? how can it correct the gyro if a heading error is introduced? (an error in the gyro itself). As I understand it, the flux valve has no idea where the magnetic north is, it just tracks the changes in magnetic field between the current point and the point of alignment. The sum of this change and the gyros output will give you the current magnetic heading (assuming the original alignment was to the magnetic heading). if the gyro itself will point at the wrong relative heading , the same error will be introduced into the aggregate - not so? Moreover, can't you navigate on relative orthodromy alone without your flux valve? will it be less accurate if you perform your calculations accordingly? As for the accuracy of the flux valves - can it not be effected by magnetic disturbances on the ground? (e.g iron ors )or electromagnetic emissions from the aircraft itself?
-
Regardless of whether it's fixed or slaved to a flux valve - will a gyro maintain a correct heading or will an accumulative error be introduced? (namely an error in the heading, be it magnetic or relative orthodromy)
-
This assumes that the heading is correct, can you do that taking into account that the gyro drifts?
-
Hi, Something I couldn't quite resolve myself, perhaps someone will have the answer... I had noticed that the INS can perform a correction when it receives DME signals only (no VOR) The question is, whether it's possible to calculate such corrections without having the azimuth or radial? So, did the developers miss it - or did I not take something into account
-
ignore that message, it will make no difference. You can make perfectly fine AFCAD files with the version you have.

If anyone wishes to test (and report bugs if they find any) here's a little joystick utility: http://www.protu-154.com/forum/download.php?id=13178 and some brief documentation (don't mind any language errors, the document is a product of an online translator) http://www.protu-154.com/forum/download.php?id=13179 What is it good for?: 1) it allows you to customize your particular hardware to a particular model : each stick has its different travel so you can adjust the responses to your stick. If you have, say, data regarding turn rate or pitch rate on the real thing at a given situation - you can adjust the stick accordingly. The settings are model-specific, i.e you can apply different settings to different planes 2)you can introduce a response lag to represent a more realistic sluggishness of the controls (or make them more brisk, if so needed) or control spool-up times You can also apply a filter for a noisy stick 3)it introduces nosewheel steering control. Either using rudder or a nose wheel tiller that's independent of the rudder. Since the utility takes over the controls directly from the drivers (directInput) the FS joystick controller should be DISCONNECTED when the utility is in use (control + k) a panel.cfg for the default Cessna is included More info in the doc.

well, that goes a little bit beyond the way they write their tech. lit.

Part 3 - after engine start
-
Thanks, but the credit isn't mine It's purely the initiative of the Australian guy. Hopefully there will be more to follow or that indeed it will arouse interest around here as well. By the same token, I do understand this isn't a plane for everyone just like its parallels e.g the RFP 742 , the DF 727 or SSTSIMs Concorde. Talking of the KLN90B - it was designed for the custom autopilots of the 154 and the IL62 but can also operate as a standalone gauge with planes equipped with a default one (e,g all the models I mentioned previously) thus presenting a more capable alternative to the INS. In addition, an update for the KLN is planned withein the next few days or so, with "first ever" FS features.
-
Here's a short video tutorial, done by an Australian simmer. It's a bit sketchy and "rough" (and not without a couple of minor mistakes ) but it goes through the very basics of the GPS setup and engine start. Hopefully there would be more videos dealing with main panel and pressurisation system setup. part 1 (initialization, joystick setup utility and KLN90B GPS setup: Part 2 (engine start - rough version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuXjCCG_lEo

Which will also greatly depend on the nature of the society one lives in and its own norms. אורח חיים לא נכון פוגע באנשים בכל חברה. What I meant was, that certain norms and standards- call it the "social aspect" will greatly effect it. Why else would the consumption of anxiolytics, for example, be several fold higher south of the 49th parallel? But I digress...

The IL-62 is often overlooked, probably because it has no FE panel (it starts using ctrl + E) About a month ago someone started working on that - we'll see what happens Otherwise it's a brilliant model, better even than the 154 in some respects but it may be best to consider it as step 2 after the 154. The complexity of the navigation systems may be a bit overwhelming for a newbie. What's amazing about this particular model, is that 99% of it was made by a single person. Just for comparison, there are about 15 people involved to one extent or another with the Tu-154.
-
No Tomer, the problem is not yours. That's a hiccup by the programmer of the FE panel. He forgot to put some of them in, in spite of several reminders ](*,) ](*,) It's a #1 on the fix list. I appears on the electric, AC/pressurization and start subpanels - the rest should be ok. @ Leonid What Russian documentation?? The only thing that' s available is the original SOP (what they call RLE) . There's already a riot from the Russians "how come the english docs are better" so the russian developers are working franticly to get something out... @ Ilan There's no motivation for "marketing" per se, other than seeing more people enjoy the work the team had put into this. If a clip would have "educational" merits I'd consider making one though I have no idea about the scope of work it may involve. Meanwhile the step-by-step guide in the manual is getting a lot of positive feedbacks. @Oren Thanks! we tried to take the comments you made at the time into consideration with the manual. Hopefully we managed to apply some of it. I think you're a perfect example of the language not being a huge issue, it's just a matter of not getting cold feet and taking the plunge - just tell them... Hopefully once the tooltip issue gets sorted out and the english soundset appears, things will get even better in that regard.

The Bus has a Fly-By-Wire control, the principles are quite different than what you're accustomed to on Boeings and other aircraft where the yoke has direct inputs. The stick is not used to control the surfaces in the sense you're used to, it's there to outline the desired "path" for the aircraft to fly. The computer will make the necessary adjustments to the control surfaces to follow that path.

A complete version of the Package in Czech/ Slovak (including panel, callouts and dialogues) http://ptfs.ru/pt_tu154m_cz_setup.exe + livery here: http://ptfs.ru/Texture.1003.rar May help if you're struggling with Cyrillic letters. On the other hand the english manual refers to the original russian panel. Anyway, it's an option. I hope the English (along with the German) sound sets will be available soon
-
For sure, Bruchi! The plane takes some time to learn and contains some unique systems (mostly to do with navigation) that users may not be familiar with. Time permitting, I may take on Yardens idea for an introductory clip...I just need to learn how to make such a clip....Yarden, do you have an idea how to record or edit a clip from FS? I will, of course, be glad to answer any questions if such arise.
-
It's going to make one long clip... It's not a bad idea though, as a matter of fact someone had made one for the B2 version a couple of days ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eduAA6CEKos The FE panel on the B2 is a bit more simple and doesn't include the pressurization /AC system + its electric panel is more simplified. I could consider doing it, if I only knew how...any clues? (also, is there any way to put in subtitles or comments?) That's unavoidable, but if this was not the case the plane would not have been what it is... Again, flipping up all the switches and pressing some "Start" button is NOT the way to go about this model. P.S Once you get it in the air, try to get into the VC and look at the artificial horizon... I'n not a VC fan myself, but I never came across a horizon that looks like a ball and moves perfectly smooth as this one

Thanks Tomer, I do hope it is. No need to rush through, Rome was not built overnight. The aircraft is too complex to be mastered in just a few moments but again - it's no nuclear science either... the "quick" start section (well its 20 pages but that's as quick as we could make it) should get you up and running. More "advanced" features like NVU, relative orthodromy or RSBN corrections should perhaps be left for a later stage. The KLN90B GPS has a tutorial flight to demonstrate the basic features but it would be advisable also to download the original Bandix manual : http://www.ocflightcenter.com/uploads/d ... CF6103.pdf if you want to use all the relevant functions. If you wish, I can provide you with a KLN that handles SIDs/STARs, but there's one serious (although avoidable) bug in it associated with STARS which is why this version was excluded from the final release
