    Putters RTW sight seeing tour

    Ok, so I started this a few days ago to begin testing Duenna and get a feel for how everything works in preperation for the next online event.

    My trip planner starts at home and ends there. (East coast, Australia)

    I plan on heading north into Indoniesia, into Asia, Russia, west to Europe, jump the pond and make the trip south throughout the Americas etc etc until home again.

    First leg: Hervey Bay, Queensland to Townsville.
    Nice test leg (If I remembered to start Duenna ) Good to get a feel of the DC-3 in prime weather anyway.

    Second leg: Note to self. DC-3 doesn't have the range to go from Townsville to Darwin. Had to sit her down at a coal mine strip in the Northern Territory to refuel. The next leg will be a jump to Darwin for an overnight stay before pointing the nose across the sea.


    Problems so far/HELP ME!!!

    Duenna is coming up with an error about my realism settings. From what I can see, I have everything set up right. When it gives you the suggestion on why it's encountering the error, it suggests items that have already been resolved. I'm a bit lost on this, but that is why I'm doing this test flight I suppose.

    Chris if you can sign into SOH teamspeak... I'll be there a while to hopefully resolve the issue.

    Make sure you check winds aloft and close FS then restart and check.

    Aircraft stress causes damage needs to be checked.

    I have to hit the little arrowheads (at the right hand side of the Flight Model sliders) a few times to make sure they are all the way right.


    Should look like this:

    Make sure you have 'winds aloft' checked in the weather settings too as most people forget this one and then Duenna will spit out it's dummy!

    Ok, got my second leg done tonight.

    Macauthur Coal mine that I had to sit on over night to Darwin International. Night flight and landing.

    Attachment 44764Screenshot of Darwin landing.

    Here's my log and info. Duenna still called shenanigans, I'll post my realism settings as well. There must be something wrong on my end.

    This might give you some clues. Taken from the 'Errors' section of the Duenna text file:

    Errors:

    If you don't get all green buttons/indicators on the duenna before you start you will get errors. IIRC the only time a yellow button/indicator will be OK is when you are flying a jet.

    Ok, I don't have FS 2002. I have FSX.

    Is there a setting I'm missing that I need to change? (Perhaps I dl'd the wrong version?)

    Here are my settings. (sorry for being a pain, I think I'm in a bit deep )

    Yeah .... nice one there Chris!


    Kick back with some BBQ'd Stingray and some Jackfruit on the side.

    Red Bean Soup for desert ... ready to go after that ... quite sure.



    Cheers,
