Oh yeah, I'll get it today, and do a comparison between the two. I'll probably take out the FMC and put the soundpack in there.

I have a question about this. In Alex's pic of the vc, in the air speed indicator,which also works fine for me, what does the 517 mean? I was flying around with this plane yesterday, and noticed that number changing all the time, but it made no sense as to what it was trying to tell me. I'm sure it's pretty simple, but I guess I am even more simpler. Cheesy

Thanks

I havent installed this plane yet but it looks like ground speed to me.

Anyone have interest in making a tanker 910 redo for this awesome jet? Please?

I had a little bit hard time to find out ,So I dig into the xml

         <GaugeText id="GaugeText">
            <FontColor>white</FontColor>
            <FontFace>Arial</FontFace>
            <FontHeight>18</FontHeight>
            <GaugeString>%( (A:AIRSPEED MACH
, Mach) 1000 * )%!03d!</GaugeString>
            <Size>80,29</Size>
            <Transparent>True</Transparent>
         </GaugeText>

Its the speed in Match value ,It could be change into Knots ,but if they make and exelent airplane MUST be there for a reason ,
Besides Its important to know in Knots ,why not also have a screen in Match? Cheesy

That's the Mach indicator. 1.00 is supersonic, and airliners fly on Mach Durring flight

Should be the machmeter. Don't have the aircraft myself but, in the screenshot, there looks to be a decimal point in the lower left corner: 0.517 mach which sounds about right for an IAS of 320 knots @ 3800 feet. Most mach-knot standard conversions seem to equate 0.517 mach to about 345 knots TAS.
