Thanks Lou, much appreciated!  Makes more sense.  Your right, take it slow and learn it slow.

What exactly does Acceleration do?  Looks like a few planes, more missions.... which bore me.  Why in the world would CS design a plane that requires this add-on?


Davecat,  I only purchased Acceleration to make the CS 727 AP pitch control work correctly.  It did cause my other favorite plane to break, though, but I'm working on a solution for that.

Other than that, it does come with two new military aircraft and a new chopper.  Updated scenery, missions, and better Direct X 10 support are part of the update.  Not sure what else.  I imagine that eventually I'll play with the F/A-18 and the carrier ops that you can apparently get into with it.

Gosh! I did not know 727 autopilot is such a mess even after several patches. Additionally I don't own Acceleration. It looks like this autopilot is useless in radial capturing, pitch control and ILS landing.

@Gambler. Sorry you feel like that and left! Sad I guess you didn't search the fix for this problem too well. Captain Sim provided a fixed gauge for this in KB #4897:

Q: I have issues with autopilot pitch control.

A: We are aware of the issue, it appears only on systems with no MS Acceleration installed. Because Microsoft missed the AP PITCH HOLD token in FSX SP2, but our A/P requires it.



Fix for those who do not have MS Acceleration installed:
1. Please download the file.
2. Move the file to [Microsoft Flight Simulator X Root Folder]\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B727-100\panel folder. Press 'Yes' when asked to replace the file.

From: 727 Captain (FSX) / On the list for next SP (QID 4897)

Trouble is, the fix doesn't really fix the issue.  You just trade one problem (AP pitch control does nothing) for another (wild oscillations of the yoke).   The only real fix is to install Acceleration.  I have confirmed this.
