Re: 737-400 Combi incorrect pax
The 737-400C, like many Combi's can be configured however the airline wants. All it takes is a night in the hangar to move the cargo bulkhead and install the additional seating rows. As such, Boeing and the FAA list the maximum seating as 189. All you have to do is set the passenger capacity you wan...

Re: OVERSPEED TAXI - BUT ONLY LANDING!
Also, if you bounced, or if you made a touch-and-go for any reason, that will also cause the taxi penalty detection on landing to get messed up. It's still a software glitch when it does, but you have to be aware of it.

Re: Request an Aircraft database update
All Boeing maximum capacities are correctly set per the Boeing and FAA Certification documents. I had updated the MacDonald Douglas aircraft, but it seems someone changed them back.

Re: Captain Sim C130 hercules
If you want to do a Flamingo, I'd head over to the Classic British Flightsim website - www.cbfs.co.uk and join the forum. They have a "Developers Corner" and lots of great resources of guys who like Classic British aircraft like the Flamingo and would be able to help you.

Re: Captain Sim C130 hercules
Unfortunately, unless your aircraft fits a very specific niche, putting in the real numbers won't end up with a properly flying aircraft. There's a lot of "black magic" to how FS works on that side and I've spent the better part of a decade trying to figure it out myself with very little success. I'...

Re: Captain Sim C130 hercules
Are you sure you have the most up-to-date model? I've got a lot of hours in the CaptainSim C-130 and never had a problem with the fuel consumption being low and the performance was pretty spot-on for any weight, especially in FS9

Re: Captain Sim C130 hercules
I wouldn't mess with the CS C-130 Matt. The performance is pretty close to the real thing. They made compromises in the CFG to get the Constant-Speed Turbine model to work right because no matter what you do, unless you do an Accusim-style module that runs completely external of the program, the sim...

Re: Should we allow this airport
Here's the other problem with Neu Mayer - it's not serviced by commercial aircraft. The aircraft that service it do so on special permit, not under normal regulations. Even in Alaska, the bush pilots that do off-airport landings are doing so under established regulations as part of their normal oper...

Re: Shorts 330
Thankfully, both Boeing and Airbus publish their data in ways that are very easy to read and interpolate. Only took me about an hour to update them all.

Re: Shorts 330
First of all, I was trying to help by getting as much information I could find. Google searches for Shorts 330-200 or SH33 (ICAO code listed in the database) certification or licenses does not bring up the FAA website for reference material. It brings up things various other data sources that are s...

Re: Shorts 330
Stan, are you sure it's not working? I looked at the type right now and it seems that the information has been updated. Sometimes it gives that error depending on what browser you're using even though it submits the edit request. Remember that all edits have to be approved, so you won't see anything...

Re: Shorts 330
Only 2 problems guys - 1) the data from Bombardier is only for a modified aircraft with higher horsepower engines, 2) none of the FS models conform to this modification. Also, why go through the trouble of contacting Bombardier, who don't own the type certificate or have anything regulatory-wise to ...

Re: Fuel question/NM question
The fuel price is per liter. Fluids are always sold by volume, not weight. The 1.234 converts from liter to kilo (1.234 kilos per liter) and then totalled. As for distance - pilots, when paid by distance flown, are always paid by great circle distance (i.e. point-to-point). Because there might be we...

Re: Gear failure - Kobayashi Maru
The landing gear failure simply triggers the FS hardcoded failure for landing gear. If you're having problems getting them to extend, then it's with the model, not with the client.

Re: Flying Supersonic
As has always been the case, all issues like this need to be taken directly to the developers/staff via a support ticket that highlights the flight(s) in question, not just generic complaints.
