F.A.Q.'s and KNOWN PROBLEMS


Pre-Release Versions prior to 6/23/03 and Final Release Versions after 6/23/03


1. Throttle sync issues: After starting individual engines, throttles are not sync'ed or only one engine throttle is active.

Use FSUIPC HOTKEYS to assign one key to re-sync the throttles. It works beautifully.


2. Lights not controlled by the "L" key: The typical use of the "L" key is negated so that realistic navigation lights options can be available. Early Commanders had no strobe lights so the nav lights had an option to flash and remain on steady. Use the individual overhead switches to control the lights.


3. For the pre-release version (prior to 6/23/03) Yaw Left on Takeoff too strong?: Download this .air file for the NO-VC version, - or - this one for the VC version. Copy/paste it to your AC680S1 or AC680SV folder. This was corrected in the final release on 6/24/03.


4. Radios Controlled by ATC or External Programs: If you prefer this option over the authentic setup, you can download panel.cfg's for those changes. This change will negate radio control from the panel and require you to use the pop up radio for frequency changes, or through external programs like ATC or FSnavigator.


For the final-release versions, these panel.cfg's are in your panel folder. For the pre-release versions, download the panel.cfg's below for your version of the aircraft. Replace your current panel.cfg's with these listed.


If you have the AC680S1 NO-VC Commander, use this file:


NO-VC version -Click Here


If you have the AC680SV VC Commander, use this file:


VC Version -Click Here



5. If your aircraft tips backwards coming out of "Push Back" mode: If you use pushback for the Commanders, change the aircraft.cfg [weights] section to read as follows:


station_load.0=200.000, 5.500, -1.100, -1.000 //pilot

station_load.1=200.000, 5.500, 1.100, -1.000 //copilot


6.  When starting the #2 engine from the Spot view, sound is not heard: That is correct. No sound will be heard and maybe Aaron Swindle will ultimately provide an update for us. Meanwhile, start engine #1 first and you will not experience the issue.


7. Radio Switches: The MKR switch is NON-Operative however it can be set on the pop-up radio. The COM1 and COM2 Switches may or may not work depending on the panel used. Use the pop-up radio for assured settings. As the Commander pilots said, "There's always something not working up there."


8. ATC Recognizing the Aircraft: Add the following statements to the aircraft.cfg [General] section:


atc_type=ROCKWELL

atc_model=AC680


This is for the pre-release versions only. This change was incorporated in the final release.
