    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Iris T-6 Texan II Pro Course adjust?

I know some users here have this aircraft. I bought it during their sale recently. I like it a lot but am having some navigation issues.

I read through the manual but what it says to do is not working for me. I also get a sound.ini error on startup. Sounds still work for the most part. The wind indicator reads backwards but that's minor really. I'm more concerned about: How to tune a course?

I should be able to press NAV on the UFCP then tune a course and press ENT, but that doesn't work. I get this goobily gook on the readout. From the manual I should also be able to turn the data entry dial and set a course from there. The numbers change on the UFCP itself when I do this but I'm unable to set it for good... it always defaults back to what was in before. Also is there a way I can just rotate the NAV1 needle without tuning a specific course? If can use the RMI to see what radial/course I'm on but I'd like to be able to tune one manually.

What am I missing?

 
Just fired this up to check Ryan. The UFCP page you have there is the main 'front' one, the window you indicate normally has the IFF code and mode in it. To change VOR you select NAV on the UFCP, ensure BP1 or 2 is selected to VOR (as you have done with BP1) then enter the course into the scratchpad (bottom window) in the UFCP NAV page with the keypad (remembering to hit enter after). The VOR frequency is entered in the NAV TUNE page (which I guess you have figured out!). Don't think there is any way to adjust it with a rotating knob unfortunately.

Edit - select CRS in the NAV page, then twiddle the UFCP data entry knob til set, then press ENT. Learn something new every day! Now if I could only get both comm radios to work seperately, that would be great..
 
Yeah I tried all of that.... it's not working. Technically the product didn't say compatible with P3D v3.4 - only versions 1 and 2. So it could be that.

Argh!

edit: for clarity.... I can enter a course, but once I press ENT it just goes back to what it was. I can also spin the data entry knob and that will change the course, but after pressing ENT it defaults back again! It's weird.
 
Well that's really wierd. Works okay in P3D 3.35 as I hardly use FSX anymore. Guess I won't be in a hurry to update atm...
