Flight1 ATR72-500 Bug List

Title: VC pushbuttons not working

Summary:  Sometimes the cursor is flickering and sometimes it doesn't recognize the button at all after one engine is started.
The proposed solution doesn’t work: “That happens when you press Shift+9 to open the "user defined panel" without having defined such a panel. Just press Shift+9 again and everything will be back to normal.” (Hans Hartmann, 17.11.2007)

Well, three of those issues fall into my area. Unfortunately you won't like the answer because I can't reproduce any of them.

It's the LNAV oscillation, config manager error and vc push buttons issue. I will try again and let you know if I was able to find something this time.

Konrad, the reason is that the model is still done with the FS9 SDK and not with the FSX SDK. Because of that, textures are not shown in DX10 Preview Mode and so the aircraft (and product) is not fully compatible with FSX SP2.

Sharrow wrote: Did not realise that official FSX SP2 compatibility was dependant on it working under DX10.

To some customers FSX SP2 compatibility includes the DX10 preview and they will start throwing ..., well, unpleasant stuff at us if we call the product FSX SP2 compatible.

I have no idea when FS11 will be available. I heard late 2010, early 2011 and even late 2011 from. Whatever is correct, I won't bother thinking about FS11 until the first beta is out.

What this means for the ATR? Who knows...

Randy,

I don't have this information myself, so I guess it's not public

My problem,

Was in the seattle area, on flights from Eugene (KEUG) to Seattle (KSEA), but I have not flown that route for quite awhile. I do not have any FSX addons, except flight1 aircraft, and of course SP2 using XP Pro. Oops, I do use Vatsim so I use FSInn too, but thats it.

I am not near my computer so I do not have the info on my current version of the airac, but I did upgrade it at the point that I purchased the FSX version (ATR) so that would have been a year or so ago. The LNAV problem was not intermitant for me, it happened every time I flew that route. I have had no problem on any other route (domestic USA) that I have flown.

Thanks for looking in to it,

Randy

Well,

Actually I was more interested in how the ATR stacked up statistically to other Flight1 aircraft. My mention of market pressure to bend developers was more or less a joke. Like i said before, my ATR behaves fine for my FSX system and I enjoy the aircraft as much as I enjoyed it in FS9.

If I understand what you mean about FS9 vs FSX, I agree. I at times wish there was not a FS9 to go back to. I am all for FSX with the problems that it has. I think that we need to look forward and support FSX, support the developers and move on. It will (and has) improve(d).  I have no trouble upgrading and/or building a new system every two years or so to meet the demads of a new FS. I am all for the wave of the future and right now that is FSX.

@Konrad, Randy: please discuss this topic in a new thread and let's keep this one clean of any off topic stuff.

I will clean this thread from off topic posts later today.

@Stephan: the VC push button issue can't be driver-related. I actually can create an effect as described by simply pressing Shift+9. But since somebody wrote that pressing Shift+9 again doesn't help, it seems to be something else.
