Hello,

I just downloaded it... I have no time to test it now but... anyway thank you very much. 

Best Regards.

I installed the new 2.3 version and now I have no sounds for for seat belts, pilot, flight attendant and altituded warning. Not even by doing the fix of the 2.2 version in changing the value of  "SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew" from 1 to 0.

And the new gpws fix does not work either. I now get the old "don't sink" problem that I actually really fixed in 2.2. Time to put together another mod pack Matt :/

I had no pilot/flight attendant messages working. So to fix this I got the Captain_Sim.p721.P15.CAB file from the 727-100 v2.2 Panel folder and replaced the v2.3 one. They now work!

I got the other sounds working by changing the SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=1 to SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=0 in the sound.ini file

Hope this helps

I noticed this too. When I load the plane, I can hear the announcements from both the Captain and the Flight Attendant. But when I am in mid air and try to hear them again, I don't... Hmm I wonder if there would be a new fix for this?

Good evening all;

I've had a little time to install and kick the tires on the 2.3 version.  A couple of quick observations:

- I also had the "no sound" issue at first; I set soundoffwhenslew=0 and it seemed to help.  Later I loaded a flight in the 727-100 and suddenly there was no sound from the altitude alerter again; loading the 727-200 somehow enabled it again.  So, I'm not sure of the cause, but when in doubt load another version of the aircraft and see what you get.

- IMO The Captain seems to have done a good job on the revised autopilot. It appears to be functioning properly and I've abandoned my modified gauge in favor of this one.

WARNING: the one thing the AP seems like it will not do (at least on my system) is override the "hold heading" or "hold altitude" switches; so those of you who may have had trouble capturing a localizer/radial, make sure you switch off the 'heading select' switch when you switch to NAV LOC or AUTO G/S.  If you can't capture the glideslope in AUTO G/S mode, try turning off the "altitude hold" switch once the glideslope triangle starts moving down. The AP worked for me EVERY time once I kept these things in mind.

- I had the dreaded "DON'T SINK"...Launchbury's fix from version 2.2 seems to work still.

- I noticed that CS has fixed the barometric readings on the altimeters (great!)...unfortunately they still have the somewhat ambiguous reading at the thousand-foot 'rollover' point - I did a quick test and I believe that my revised altimeter gauges (with COL Bob Scott's fix) will work just as well with 2.3.

- My "MDA light" fix also still applies to the 2.3 version.

Enjoy!
Matt

I downloaded the new update and did a test flight as soon as I got airborne and made a 5 degree turn to the right the plane goes into a 40-50 degree bank.I tried different changes in heading and still massive turns. I make a small turn and the yoke in the 727 turns all the way right or left depending on the turn. The plane is unflyable in this state.

I believe that is a deeper issue with the aircraft. It is the same reason a lightly loaded 727-100 will struggle to get up to 35,000 feet. I think there is a drag or efficiency issue with the wing somewhere.
