Embraer 170 Development (NEW RELEASE 20/09/2011)

And it is impossible to do an ILS landing without crashing.

Did you try following this guide?

No, but I do everything it says in that guide.

This is the 195 I'm talking about here, not the 170.

[Figaro]

Well perhaps you have the FGBr E-195?

Cheers,
Sam.

No, and everything is working OK now ILS-wise. But still the 170/175/190/195 banks too hard on autopilot and when rotating the aircraft it goes upward too high.

Hi, noticed a bug - when switching to LOC2, the plane goes into an uncontrollable spin.

I have release 1.3.

...when switching to LOC2, the plane goes into an uncontrollable spin.

Gijs, please don't delete this, it is not useless since I am answering two different questions.

Did you specify a second ILS frequency (in the radio stack dialog/CDU) that the plane could pick up in the general area

But still the 170/175/190/195 banks too hard on autopilot and when rotating the aircraft it goes upward too high.

Did you turn on the half bank feature Then don't pull back on the stick/mouse as much

[islandmonkey]

I specified a VOR to go to.

And no, didn't have half bank feature on.

And with the rotating bit when I put the stick up more lightly the plane does nothing. A bit of a dangerous thing on a short runway like Southampton .

Nice work there Omega.

I recently found out lot's of interesting stuff at your Hangar and started checking them!

As for this one, I have a few questions,
Why don't I hear the sound of the engine? Not in the cocpit view nor anyother. I hear all other sounds (gear retracting, wheels on the ground, clicks of knobs, announcements(!!!) etc.)
Shouldn't there be a NDB/ADF needle on the PFD or somewhere? I searched but could't make it come up.
why isn't the VSI needle moving?

thx

Hi de profundis, I posted a fix for the VSI needle here:

Great aircraft however having an issue hearing the engine sound both in and out of the cockpit. Anyone else have that problem?

[Müller]

Hello everyone, I have also cited problems with sounds of E-jet family.
Merry Christmas

Ahh yes, FG only shows their default aircraft and the ones in fgdata git, a lot of really good aircraft are missed out, incl the Tu-154b and all of mine

Hello everyone, I have also cited problems with sounds of E-jet family.

Yes, that's because the sounds are stereo and the new versions of FG doesn't support it. Anyone cares to change them to mono?

[Müller]

Firstly I would like to thank the people who give "life" to FG, presenting their work, knowledge and making it available to all of us enjoy.

I found this online converter (http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-wav). I used to convert stereo to mono sound, replace the Aircraft Sounds folder but no change as to the problems already mentioned. Did I do something wrong or this converter does not work for change?
But I'll keep trying to solve.

thank you

Sounds work in:

Motor Sound in visions: pilot, passengers, gear, copilot, wing, tail.
Flaps Sound visions: wing, passenger, gear. Aircraft on the ground, but in flight the sound flap is low.
Reverser Sound visions: pilot, passengers, gear, copilot, wing, tail.

[Müller]

sorry I edited
sounds after converting to mono and tested for a few days, including using sounds from other aircraft and FG / data / sounds:

There is now a conflict with the git flightgear version which uses tab to change mouse modes and this plane which uses tab to set the autobrake mode. I could change it and submit a merge request but what key do you think should be used for this?
