  • I have flown a flight from 1 to 1.5 hours each morning for the past 20 days or so since posting last. I have made a new flight each time rather than using a saved flight. No issues at all with failure of gear to retract. Hope this helps. And... I…
  • Thank you most kindly for the update. I did manage to try about ten takeoffs this week under various conditions. It occurred to me that this issue started up very shortly after I bought and loaded GSX. I set up flights and took off using GSX for pus…
  • Thank you one and all for the input. I'm going to spend some serious time this coming week repeating just taking off without preflight checklists and a flightplan. Just get it her set up to fly. I tried three flights this morning from a cold and dar…
  • This morning I'm making my regular daily run on VATSIM, the same flight pretty much over and over KPDX/CYVR. Two issues came up that forced me cancel the flight mid air. The first is the gear would not go up, again. The pins are in the basket AND…
  • I'm on my 2nd CH THQ in 16 years. They are bulletproof. Mine works well for the Q400. Affordable. Functional. I mounted mine to the left of my yoke. Not realistic, but I can wrap my left hand around both throttle levers and rest my wrist there comfo…
  • I used the FMS Data Manager application and downloaded each addon on my list, seven of them. They are all updated from OCT Yellow to Nov green. Windows 10, P3Dv4.2, Lots of fast ram, a heap of addons and the usual stuff every other flight simmer …
  • I have updated my Navigraph cycle to the latest for all addons. I created several new flights cold and dark and flown them. Although I no longer lose my FMC flightpath display I still cannot select ILS for as a NAV Source for an approach and landing…
  • @JvanE said: Great information, +1 Excellent info. Thank you!
  • Thank You! Done. Let's see how it goes.
  • JvanE... could you be more specific about the file and the location in that file where you made the above edit? I know just enough to be dangerous and don't wish to make matters worse. Appreciate the assistance!
  • Be prepared to be persistent with your Q400 setup and learning. It can be frustrating at times but the end result is VERY much worth the time and effort. I have little to no turboprop or jet experience to fall back on (15 years of pistonslappers, bo…
  • Halleluiah! Reinstalled Q400, downloaded installed and configured 125hz control. Had to fiddlef’k around with the CPAN a few times to get the settings to take, but she will taxi like a dream now. Shut down and restarted a number of times, and then…
  • OK.... some fine tuning has brought a response to the tiller when aileron is used... sort of. After engine start, I move condition levers to full, turn on tiller. As soon as I put my foot on either rudder pedal and depress with any pressure at al…
  • Yes, I am running CPAN as admin. I pulled my WH HOTAS and Throttle out of the system. I replaced them with my CH Yoke and THQ. The CH rudder petals I left alone. I have removed FSUIPC from the computer. Doing so has allowed me to set the CPAN …
  • I am NOT using the TM Target software. Have never opened it. Throttles work fine in my DC3 and other aircraft. In fact they respond as they should when I take off and manually fly the Q400 off the runway.
  • OK... went into FSUIPC and cleared all the axis assignments associated with the Q400 profile. Control surfaces and throttle axis. Enabled the controllers in P3D. Doing a visual all my control surfaces now respond correctly using P3D. I checked ev…
  • Reinstalled software. I am now able to configure scenarios that start ready to fly. Yes, I have been opening the CPAN with Admin rights. Still no airways listed from a VOR when LIST is selected from any of the already chosen airports or VOR FLP w…
  • ckyliu and Master... THANK YOU for taking a moment to attempt to assist this old piston slapper trying his damnest to transition into the "jet age". I understand the concept here. I actually have spent some time with various FMC's over the pas…
