Title: Newbie Help
Post by: Ian Kirwin on Aug 07, 2014 18:34
Is it still possible to use the Dreamwing Q400?


I have the ACARS installed, but just sits there saying to turn engines off and engage parking brake.  (obviously I have done this).  Can't get it to go to boarding whatever I do.


Had a lovely flight to London City the other night only for it not to be logged  ::)

Hi Ian


Send us the details of your flight and we can file it manually, what version of FS are you running, what panel are you using with the Q400 and also (im sure you do) but do you have FSUIPC?

Hi


I am using FSX with the Dreamwings? Q400 from the downloads page, using whichever 2D Panel it comes with (don't like VC).  FSUIPC is v.4.93xx.


Flight was ICX395 21:20 Birmingham to London City

Hi Ian,

If ACARS does not move to boarding but stays asking to set brakes etc a way around is this: Simply reposition your aircraft at a nearby Gate. Rather than slew, use FS drop down to change gates. This normally sets to boarding or sometimes even starts the flight recording.

Best,

Keith
