Milviz Red Bull P-38 Problems

I recently installed the Milviz Red Bull P-38 and wonder if I have some install problems. I can't seem to control the S-TEC AP the way I would expect. You should be able to individually activate any of it's four modes (ST, HD, TRK Low and TRK Hi), along with Altitude Hold, but I find ST goes on with Track Low, the AP automatically switches from Track Low to Track Hi when you switch from NAV to GPS; the ST, HDG and Track Low lights can be on at the same time, I can't turn off ALT Hold without turning off the AP completely, etc. I could not find any info on how Milviz programmed the operation of the S-TEC -- in others words, what I should expect compared to the actual S-TEC operation manual. The same AP is in the A2A Cherokee so I have some experience with how it should work, but that could vary with a given developer's implementation.

I've also noticed that sometimes when switching between NAV and GPS, the back lighted NAV/GPS switch on the instrument panel lights up indicating the mode, and then a minute later it doesn't -- seems strange.

Milviz says you need FSX Acceleration or Steam for this a/c. I have FSX+SP2 which I thought was about the same as FSX Acceleration, and Steam. I see the same behavior in both sims, and have tried repeated installs. If anyone with this a/c can shed some light on these issues I would appreciate it.

Thx,

Al
 
Hi Al , just to clarify, with your SP2 installed do your get a P-51 Mustang or F-18 and EH101 as new defaults, this comes with the FSX Acceleration or the Gold edition FSX package, I do have FSX Steam but is not installed, brought that as a backup, If you have the above then peoples will be able to help a little more readily.

Hi Ian,
No, the a/c you mentioned did not come with FSX (Deluxe)+SP2. They did come with my version of FSX-SE.

SP2 is not the same as Acceleration. Similar but not identical. It missing some features as I understand it.

As Rick pointed out, that is were the issue is, I don't know about Steam or its installation as yet, I brought the $5 special package and as mentioned only as a backup, so I think now is we need a STEAMED installed person to possibly crack the problem for you.
