A few questions/problems

[randall]

I'm enjoying FSCaptain very much--just the kind of program I've been waiting for.

My questions/problems:
I'm using the Kodiak--
1. I have retactable gear unchecked and made sure the configuration file noted it as Retractgear=No. However, First Officer continues to ask me to check gear when landing.
2. I can't figure out entertainment system. I have music checked but never hear any.
3. Pushback is not always available from FCOM. Is that dependent on the airport?

Thanks for the help. Plan to purchase the program but the EURO-USD exchange rate makes it a bit pricey right now for the US.

Hi Randall,

1. I have retactable gear unchecked and made sure the configuration file noted it as Retractgear=No. However, First Officer continues to ask me to check gear when landing.

I've entered this as a bug, will be fixed soon.

2. I can't figure out entertainment system. I have music checked but never hear any.

I'm not sure about this. There are settings to turn off music on an airline definition, and you won't hear any unless you have flight attendants to turn it on. If it's on a plane with music IFE and there are flight attendants you should be hearing it!

3. Pushback is not always available from FCOM. Is that dependent on the airport?

The pushback function will only be enabled if you have your parking brakes set. Is that it?

Hope this helps,
Dutch

I'm flying GA aircraft--no attendants. Would be nice to have as an option without attendants.

I'll check about the brakes.

Thanks!

I'm bumping this old thread. The FO still reminds me about retracting the gear on the Kodiak which does not have retractable gear.

Could you post the contents of the Kodiak's configuration (.cfg) file from the FSCaptain\Aircraft folder please?

Thanks
Dutch
