Hello,
Besides SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew=0, have you ever tryed reloading the aircraft on ground? With 2.3 I have to do that in order to get the systems sounds, maybe weird but effective.

There is no 2D main panel.

Yep too bad for the 2D panel, anyway not using it too much either 

Just had to report that your mod for GPS tracking seems to work fine also for latest 2.3 release, thanks that's brillant !

Richard -

For the "Dont Sink" issue - try changing the GPWS section to look like this:

[GPWS]
max_warning_height = 1200
sink_rate_fpm = -1500
excessive_sink_rate_fpm = -2000
climbout_sink_rate_fpm = -1500
flap_and_gear_sink_rate_fpm= -1500.

I think the problem is that on approach, the CapSim climbout sink rate of -100 trips the GPWS.

Please let us know if this works for you...worked for me.  The other option is to kill the GPWS entirely by changing the section to:


[GPWS]
max_warning_height = -1 //disable integral FSX GPWS

No, you're right...ideally you should be able to set the GPWS climbout warning rate at -100, but I think that is what is causing the constant "Dont Sink" for the Captain Sim aircraft. The cost of this workaround is that the GPWS won't do much to help you if you sink during your climbout.

If you find a better way let us know!

i made new CameraDefinition.xxx that can be helpful once copied to 727 aircraft.cfg file :

As I fly in VirtualCockpit view (not Captain Seat), I insert a very first CameraDefinition.000 that makes easy to read the EPR gauges :

[CameraDefinition.000]
Title = "Gauges Moteurs"  //this is french...
Guid = {AF7B06BC-6A5C-5098-B6E9-E4A0932D9F11}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.5, -0.4, 0.4
InitialPbh=0, 0, 0

Same here for the overhead panel :

[CameraDefinition.00X] //<-- depending of your Cameradefinition position
Title = "Panneau Suppérieur" //<-- french again...
Guid = {93EA964A-D1F4-4AD0-9E94-33ED9EB79079}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.5, 0, 0            //0.45, -0.25, -0.10 (previous values)
InitialPbh=-45.0, 0, 0            //-45.0, 5, 5

and one new for the flight engineer panel :

[CameraDefinition.00X]
Title = "Ingénieur de Bord"
Guid = {C5F2306E-A4D9-4F36-B984-8085F0B9C35C}
Origin = Virtual Cockpit
MomentumEffect = YES
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = YES
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = .5
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
PitchPanRate=20
HeadingPanRate=60
InitialXyz=0.60, 0.05, -0.80      //0.60, 0.05, -0.70 (previous values)
InitialPbh=0, 0, 90            //15, 0, 90

make sure your cameradefinition.numbers are well sorted :
cameradefinition.000 -> EPR Gauges
cameradefinition.001 -> Captain
cameradefinition.002 -> First Officer
and so on

enjoy

I tried the temporary fix.  Using the pitch control now makes the yoke wildly oscillate back and forth.  I am going back to 2.2 again. Sigh.
