Fly straight and level until the LOC needle comes alive, then turn left on intercept maintain 2,500 ft until the GS needle comes alive, then reduce power to keep it centred. altitude=2500 -offset-azimuth=316 -heading=336 -nav1=320:110.3 -dme=nav1 -adf=377 -offset-distance=5 -vc=90īe prepared to make rapid throttle and trim adjustments on startup. Resulting command line (using the Warrior II, which launches with the engine running by default):įgfs -aircraft=pa28-161 -prop:/controls/engines/engine/throttle=0.7 -ndb=YRR \ preset your frequencies (110.3 mhz for the ILS 32 localiser 377 khz for the Greeley NDB).choose a true heading that is 30° greater or lesser than the approach path, in the same direction as the azimuth angle (336°).choose an offset azimuth angle from the final approach fix that is 10° greater or lesser than the approach path (316°).choose an appropriate approach speed for your aircraft (90 kt for the Piper Warrior or Cessna 172, though in real life, you might push it to 110 kt at a busy airport).choose a starting altitude 500–1,000 ft above the crossing altitude (2,500 ft).Determine the magnetic heading for the approach path (320°), then adjust by the magnetic variation (-14°) to get the true heading (306°).Determine the final approach fix (in this case, the Greeley NDB, YRR) and the glidepath crossing altitude (1,800 ft MSL).
Here are the steps to set up in the air for the ILS 32 approach into Ottawa (CYOW): You will normally intercept the localiser first, hold altitude until the glideslope comes down, then reduce power to stay on the glideslope. To set up an ILS approach realistically, you should start the plane in the air, outside the final approach fix, below the glideslope, on a 30° or 45° intercept. I will post screens of the checklist (FlightGear version 2017.3. Note that you do not have to be flying towards the reference point: you can pick any heading you want. When starting the simulation, the DHC 6 300 Twin Otter (downloaded from the official hangar) has an external power supply, and we can choose the power from the battery or the external power (makes no difference, still the engines won't start). This command line starts at 5000 ft 5 statue miles to the east of the Oakland VOR:įgfs -altitude=5000 -heading=270 -vc=110 -vor=OAK -offset-distance=5 -offset-azimuth=270 You then use offset-distance to specify your distance from the starting point (in statute miles, which needs to be fixed), and offset-azimuth to specify the bearing to the reference point (again, in degrees true). In that case, you can specify the reference position using the normal airport, vor, ndb, or fix options. Often, you will want to start flying in a position relative to an airport, navaid, or intersection. Here's a simple command line to start flying true north at 110 kcas (typical cruise speed for a Warrior or Cessna C172) at 5000 ft northbound:įgfs -altitude=5000 -heading=0 -vc=110 You can also set the heading using the heading option, but note that the heading is in degrees true rather than degrees magnetic, so in some parts of North America it can be more than 30 degrees different than runway alignment.
In fact, the starter will crank even if the battery master switch is off. (2) Cranking the starter has no effect on the load, and indeed the starter will work even when the /systems/electrical/bus/element/capacity-norm has dropped to 0.
#Flightgear s not startign engine generator
However, turning off the engine generator switches (the switches just to the right of the main battery switch) does - once off, there is no drain on the battery. Turning off the battery master switch (which is turned on by default) makes no difference.
(1) If you start FlightGear with the Seneca, but do nothing else, and look at /systems/electrical/bus/element (the main battery), it fully discharges in about 2 minutes.
Under 1.9.0, I notice several strange things happening: Then, under 1.0.0 (if I remember correctly), it worked. I recall trying the Seneca a long time ago and having similar problems. I can start the A320-family default planes engines, but in TheOmegaHangars A320neo, every time i flip this switch (or try to) It wont let me, and goes back to the off position. I experience the same problem as petri (I am also running OS X).
