Sterling Caravelle

[peh]

Hello;

After hours of reading, an total loss of overwiew. my conclusion is "I need Help" Sorry but new here. I buyed my copy of FXS2010 a few weeks ago. And i feel great when i saw this site, because i always loved the Caravelle from Sterling among others. Because i traveled so much with it to spain a lot a years ago.

But what files do i need, and will it work whith FXS2010 I downloaded all caravelle files from the machine to sound, texture, afg ect. and put in FSX... IT WONT WORK? ;-((

Regards

The Caravelle is not FSX compatible as clearly stated in the very first post in this section ....

Hi,

My Caravelle 6R (Sterling and others) works well in FSX.

The only small modifications I made are:

-Changed The smokesystem parameters of the aircraft.cfg :
smoke.0= -45.4530708661417, 7.9, 1.9304, fx_caravelle_eng
smoke.1= -45.4530708661417, -7.9, 1.9304, fx_caravelle_eng

-Add of a Zorder parameter in the panel.cfg (otherwise the pop-up panels are hidden)
Zorder=0 for Window00, Zorder=1 for Window01 and Zorder=3 for all the other windows

There may be small things in the panel that do not work (cabin temperature perhaps?), but the essentials like main instruments and autopilot work well.

Even so .... we still can't market these aircraft as FSX compatible files .... until they are actually modified for FSX compatibility.

Hi,

I understand that.
Just wanted to give the information to those who want to fly the Caravelle's in FSX.
Another small modification I made is : I set the
pitch_stability = 2.3 (instead of 1.0) in the tuning section of the aircraft.cfg.
Otherwise there is a very light pitch up/down on cruise.

With the Caravelle 3 panel there are some problems with the popup's in FSX.
But the Caravelle 3 (Air France and others) works also well in FSX with the 6R panel (modfied as above).

So far as I'm aware .... and have seen .... the AFG CARAVELLE's all work fine in WINDOWS 7 .... at least as fine as they do in WINDOWS XP .... so long as they are all installed correctly to start with .... i.e. precisely according to prescribed installation procedures.

There are NO compatibility issues between winXP or Win7 or VISTA... there are nothing in our aircraft that uses any system related components .... the only things that might be of an annoyance to someone, is the use of UAC introduced in VISTA and carried over to Win7 as well.
Either turn it off, or grant the necessary rights to the folders needed, or always use an administrator account when logged on to your computer ... which ever suits you the best.
