FS9 Glowingheat SR-71

Post by VulcanDriver »

Hi Guys

I have this wonderful model, however I have a question.

How I create a FlightPlan in FSNav. The model has its own Autopilot but when I use FSNav it overrides the aircraft one and causes the aircraft to stall?

Can anyone tell me how to bypass the FSNav autopilot so I can just use the FP?

TIA
John

If it keeps stalling it sounds as if you have either got the speed wrong in the flightplan or that the program overrides the speed that you set.
A quick look on the web and I found this page http://www.bobholland.com/fs/fsnav/default.htm I noticed that there is a panel with various settings for the aircraft. I am guessing that you either need to select or deselect one of those according to what your flight plan says.

Thanks Steve, I'l take a look. The designers have done some clever tricks with the AP as it can cruise at Mach 3.5 Think FSNav doesn't allow that speed as a parameter. Although FS9 does!

Thought that might be the case in which case I think that article might have the answer.
