Restarting a saved flight
May 24th, 2013 at 2:25am
Print Post  
Having trouble continuing a flight that I have previously started and saved. I do this with all the aircraft that I have. Sometimes it takes turning some things back on but the 767 is stumping me.  Can't get the AP to come back on.  I have read that the IRS can't be aligned in flight and is this the reason the AP won't turn back on?

Unfortunately there is no save panel feature. I saw that some forum members said that loading an FSUIPC saved flight (a feature of the registered version) for the CS767 works, but it never has for me.

So for long haul flights, I do them from start to finish, without closing FSX. Sometimes I pause FSX mid flight, go to bed, and continue the flight the next day. That's the only way I can do them.

If that's the case it is too bad.  That makes this aircraft totally unworkable for me.  I guess I will have to just fly the older airliners that I have.  I have the C-130, 707, 727 and 737 that I have no problem restarting.

Add it to the 767 Captain - wish list. I'm sure many others would like to have it, myself included. Wink

Just figured away to do it.  Start with a new ac ready for to at Sea, select desired ac, turn on everything on the overhead panel including the IRS, reload flight plan and reprogram the route on the FMS.  Then on map mode, reset the flight to the Altitude, as, heading and lat and long, date and time from where you last left off.  Got to get the gear up fast but it seams to work and not take too awfully long.

Coincidentally Markoz, one of the reasons I wanted a long range wide body was to start some flights down to Australia.  I visited your country while on R&R in 1970 and loved it.

Where in Oz did you spend it?

Enroute, we stopped at Darwin for fuel, then onto Sydney.  A buddy and I stayed at a little hotel at Bronte Beach.  Had a picnic on the Beach Christmas morning.  We also took the train out to Katoomba to visit the national park there.  We were both pilots, so one day we visited a small airport west of town and had a local flight instructor give us a chance to fly a Beagle, a small British built airplane that we were interested in.  I actually went a second time and stayed in the Kings Cross area, but didn't have as much fun because I was by myself.  I loved the people.  They were so friendly.

My father was in the RAAF and stationed at Tindal, about 220 miles south of Darwin, in 1970 (I was 12). In 1971, Dad was posted to Richmond (a Sydney suburb). Dad was posted to a new place every year, so we were always on the move.

Back on subject.

I will have to try this for myself. At least it will be a way of continuing long haul flights after a save. Not as easy as a saved panel state would be though.

Good Talking to you Mark.  My email is PeteLydia@comcast.net.  If I ever do get back to your country, other than on flight sim, I would love to see more of it.

Pete

I just thought I would share that I never have any problems with reloading the 767 after saving and closing fsx. All I do is start a flight with the 172, then load my saved flight. Usually the only thing I have to reset is change the A/P from heading select to LNAV. I must just be lucky?  Shocked Try loading a flight with the c172 first, might work for you?

BTW, you may want to send your email to Mark using the forum's personal message system, just to avoid those spammers  Wink

Definitely better to either send me an email using the email button on my posts, or PM me (but I think you need minimum of 10 posts before you can use the PM system Sad).
Also. Make sure to tell me who you are (including your forum nickname) and what it's about, otherwise I'm not up to speed on what it is you need help with. Wink

Thanks AirCanadaGuy. Will try the 172 idea to see if it works.

Thanks for the tip AirCanadaGuy,  I always used the default 172 for loading new aircraft, but never guessed that it would work for restarting aircraft.  I haven’t tried it on the 767 yet as that aircraft is currently on the ground, but I tried it on my Legacy corp Jet that I have enroute between Seattle and Anchorage. In the past, I always had to restart the engines and reprogram the FMS, but this time most everything was up and running.

Resuming a saved flight is super easy and you dont need fsuipc save feature.

Please test as i only have the CS757 installed but it should work for the 767

When in flight ( assuming its all set up correctly with your flight plan etc.. ) make the save and give a name you can remember.

When you want to resume the flight browse to the flight sim save folder for me its

E:\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files but you will have to find your own save folder

Browse though your saved flights until you find the one you want, there is 3 parts to one save and the one you want ends with FSSAVE double click that and it will load that flight and keep your flight plan, panel set up and IRS data etc.. the only thing it will do is settle the throttles down to what ever they was at when you saved but it only takes a couple of seconds to do that.

Enjoy Smiley
