RAF Vulcan by Just Flight... (Read 457 times)

Recently purchased RAF Vulcan (Just Flight) and installed to FS9. Delighted with the decibels on take-off (now almost deaf!) and exhaust fumes and general drama of a full-power take-off, but a little disappointed with my purchase now that I'm exploring the cockpit switches.
a: just can't see that NAV2 radio is coupled to a VOR display - I can hear the morse ID of a tuned beacon but can't do anything with it! Can't even switch NAV2 frequency to NAV1 making NAV2 radio useless!
b: can't see how to select a keyboard/joystick button for the 3-position airbreak (off, low-drag, & high drag); using slash key (normally set for spoilers) just flips airbreak to high-drag setting.
c: the autopilot seems designed to frustrate - some settings don't even get mentioned in the 'manual'.
If anyone can give me tips on the above or in general re operating this beauty, I would be delighted.

I can only shed light on your second issue. Have you tried looking for an airbrake lever of some sort? If there is one, you could probably use that to deploy the airbrakes to the required position. I doubt that the low drag and high drag positions would be activated through a key command, as I imagine that would be quite hard to model in FS.

As I recall when you install the Vulcan the manuals for it are installed in the Aircraft folder e.g. C:\Microsoft Games\FS9\Aircaft\Vulcan as PDF files Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Many thanks for the replies folks. There is a 3-position lever in the cockpit's throttle sub-panel for the speed brake but a bit fiddly using mouse while holding stick & throttle plus I like to use spot view at times - however, I suppose when I'm in Spot View I could open the throttle sub-panel which at least would save the nipping back into the cockpit feat! I found the manuals, thanks - however, even though there is a step by step flight guide, they don't cover some issues. I find the lack of tuneable NAV-2/swapable frequencies suprising as it is pretty standard stuff. Again, thanks for your ideas.
