New user questioons
I just purchased this aircraft (350) This is one of the best aircraft addons I have seen. I spent two days looking at the documentation and youtube tutorials.
1. The best speed I can get is 160kts, I do it does better than that. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Props were at 1600 and running around 85 torque.
2. I have used a FMC for a while but I cannot seem to get the flight plan in there. Maybe this is newer than I am use to.
a: I used the Init Pos and set the airport
b: I press the flpn and enter a dest
With a GPS direct flight that is really al that is needed. Legs pages should be this
KSNA
KSAN
Also when I load P3D with the aircraft in a cold dark condition, why is th old flight plan still there when the FMC is on
Thanks
update
ok this is different than I am use to, I never was in a real plane with one of these, the FMC knows where the place is. Also if I put in a full flight plan with sids and stars I get more of a flight plan. I did not know it was required,
Another update. I found the problem with the speed. A lot of my sim is hardware, so my landing gear knob was not lifting the handle of the on aircraft. What was strange was I could hear it going up, but I guess it did not. I don't usually look outside at the aircraft.
I used KA350I_GearHandlePosition set to 1 in SPADNext. That allows me to use the Saitek switch panel to raise the gear. Oddly setting to 0 does not lower it. I use SPADNext to configure each of my aircrafts.
I am figuring everything out, this is a excellent aircraft. I have used another 3rd party one and it was no where near as real as this one is The flight from Santa Ana to San Francisco went very well

Re: New user questioons
With this aircraft you will need at least one waypoint between the 2 airports for the flightplan to work.
I am not familiar with SPADNext sorry I can't help with that
