Classic British Flight Sim

Hi JB

As the gauge code seems to react in this odd fashion on certain setups and not others, without a rewrite.. I don't think so mate. From what I've seen, the newer the system.. the faster the ports e t c.. the throttles will chatter. On my XP2400.. it works exactly as it should. On my XP3200, I started seeing chattering at flight idle and on this pc (E8400) it's slightly worse at flight idle. I don't see it at ground idle or on the ground at all unless I've been clever and left the gust locks in. Fraser may revisit the Vanguard at some point but I don't believe he has any plans to do so in the near future.
The problem is probably being exacerbated by the CH Throttle quad as I remember before I gave mine away what a complete cow turbo props were to control with any degree of accuracy. I loved it for flying piston twins using 2 levers for throttle, 2 for pitch and 2 for fuel and the additional 6/12 switch positions were very useful but for everything else, I was never comfortable.

The panel is currently at an interim stage which you are welcome to here:

Pleaseback up what you have first, particularly the cabinet file.

In the panel folder there are two configurations; Panel and Panel_No_Stop.

If you wish to use a panel without the flight idle stop, rename the Panel_No_Stop to just Panel.

This is FS9 only

Vanguard V5 Interim

cheers

Fraser

As I said.. Fraser has no plans to revist the Vanguard in the near future! Don't ya love it when that happens

Cheers mate.. VM appreciated

Thanks Fraser

Thanks Fraser... installing FS9 now

This is an interesting thread.I recently d/l'd the Vanguard ,printed and rad the the manual then set abut learning to fly her.On the first 'serious' flight I found it difficult to stop on the r/way after a landing(of sorts!) but found that 'blipping' the throttle lever on my CH Product Yoke seemed to reduce the RPM to what I would expect.It's early days on the Vanguard for me so I will keep checking.I also use XP/SP3 and FS9.1.Keep practising!!

Fraser:

The new file above did the job. I made a beautiful flight from Chicago to Nashville in the Vanguard and had no ground or flight idle chatter. Thanks so much for spending time to sort this out...great plane !

Hi Fraser, just finished installing FS9 on the PC, alas not on an SSD. Love the new panel, in particular I liked the three way switches on the Aircon units! looks very fresh

Waiting on the ramp at Wisley....
