I owned the V1 of the X about 10 years ago for fs9. I remember that I liked this bird very much, especially its power and performance.
So I decided to buy v2 for fsx steam, as I read they updated it since summer last year. To be clear I knew that model, textures etc. are not the newest and best looking things for fsx. I have about 4 Carenado planes, although their system deepth is not the deepest, I like the good looking textures and cockpits. My computer is about 5 years old, but I do not have big proplems, running it with good fps. If Carenado would offer a Citation X, you might guess where I would have bought it...
Anyway some days ago I bought the Eaglesoft Citation X V2 and was very looking forward to it.... Until I did my first flights:
1. Problem: The throttle levers are stuck. ( I do not use a registered version of fsuipc) The plane reacts on throttle movements and I can fly but visually the levers in the cockpit are stuck! Here is a part of the manual:
"FADEC is Full Authority Digital Engine Control system. All the pilot need do is place the throttles in the detent position for the phase for Takeoff, Climb, Cruise, Etc. FADEC is annunciated on the EICAS Gauge above the N1 tapes.
Single\Dual Throttle Controller Setup and Configuration There are three requirements for proper FADEC\Throttle Operation with your Citation X 2.0. 1. Registered Version of FSUIPC installed. 2. Personal User edit of ESDG_CitationX.ini file as outlined below. 3. Personal User edit of Calibration\Controller Configurations in one of the following… 4. FSUIPC Controller Configuration 5. Flight Simulator Controller Configuration 6. Third Party [CH, Saitek, Etc.] Controller Configuration.
ESDG_CitationX.ini File Edit
Dual Throttle Yoke or Joystick: To enable Dual Throttle Controllers you must modify an entry in the ESDG_CitationX.ini file. The ESDG_CitationX.ini file can be found in the following locations: Windows XP: "C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\ESDG\CitationX" Windows Vista: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ESDG\CitationX"
Open the ESDG_CitationX.ini file in notepad and locate the entry "Throttles". If you have a Single Throttle Controller, the value should be set to 1, if you have Dual Throttle Controller it should be set to 2. Higher values are not supported for this aircraft.
Example: ESDG_CitationX.ini file for Dual Throttle Setup [FADEC] LeftFadec=2 RightFadec=2 Throttles=2
Special Controllers: If you wish to disable Throttle Controller in order to use Keyboard Throttle Control the value should be set to 0 If you use an Xbox 360 Type Controller the use of FS Controller Configuration is advised. Some users report good results using special FSUIPC and Go Flight Module Calibrations\Configurations as outlined below. Note: Go Flight tips are user offered and are not official support from Eaglesoft Development Group."
[U]2. Problem: When I switch the autopilot to "ALT", the nose is going up and down all the time like the plane is drunk. No matter which speed or alt I go, even with weather settings off. I know this prolem from other planes but I could fix it with "flusifix" on all the aircrafts. On the Citation, it does not work.
3.Problem: Those guys of you who are familiar with fs9 might know the "no messages to transmit to anyone" problem. After take off the atc stucks, and after about 10 minutes it just says: no messages to transmit to anyone. Well I thought this was a fs9 problem, it now happened the first time after about 1000 hours in fsx and only with the Eaglesoft X.
Eagle Soft support is...I really don´t know if they have any support! I cannot register at their forum and I do not get any answer to my email.
I still would be happy if I could use the Citation. It is not only a question of money I spent for this thing. As I slowly get used to it, that about 1 of 5 FS addons are not working as they should. No matter how many reviews you read or in how many forums you search. There will appear problems, which are impossible to forecast.
Any solutions would be appreciated! :wavey:
