This will be noted on the airport diagram or in the controller's ATIS information. Mode C is also used on the ground at some airports if they are using an airport surface surveillance system such as ASDE-X. Mode C allows controllers to see your altitude on their scope. Mode C is used when you enter the active runway and any time you are airborne. While flying on POSCON, you will need to toggle your transponder between Standby Mode, and Mode C.
SIMCONNECT CLIENT DOWNLOAD SIMULATOR
This can be handy for users with a single monitor when the Pilot client is obscured by the simulator window. The checkbox labeled "Show incoming text messages in simulator" allows you to have any incoming radio messages or private messages displayed as text within the sim. You should leave this checkbox unchecked if you are using an add-on aircraft that features SquawkBox transponder integration, since the Pilot Client will then be able to read the transponder mode directly from the aircraft's panel. Here you can choose to have the Pilot Client automatically squawk Mode C when your aircraft becomes airborne. If you find your frame rate suffering when in a crowded area, reduce these numbers. Here you can limit the number of aircraft that the Pilot Client will inject into the simulator. Custom rule sets always take priority over the models found when the Pilot Client automatically scans your hard drive for installed models. Custom rules files can be re-ordered to set the priority with which they will be used for model matching. You might do this if you created your own file, or if you received a file from another user, or downloaded it from your VA's website. Here you can add a custom model matching rule set by loading the file from your computer's hard drive. Folders higher in the list will be searched first for models to use to represent aircraft you encounter while flying online. You can also prioritize folders by rearranging them in this list using the "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons. This section allows you to exclude models (either individually or as an entire folder) from use in model matching. Please note - Depending upon the simulator you are flying this may display as 'Model Matching (MSFS)' or 'Model Matching (FSX) Generally you only need to change the settings here if you want to change your default model.
SIMCONNECT CLIENT DOWNLOAD UPDATE
The Pilot Client will detect the keystroke or button press and update the "Current PTT Assignment" accordingly. Simply press the button labeled "Set new PTT Key or Button" and then press the keyboard key or joystick/yoke button that you want to use for PTT. In the Push to Talk (PTT) Assignment section, you can choose which keyboard key or joystick/yoke button you wish to use for PTT. If the device is not yet plugged in, you will need to close the Settings window, plug in the device, and then re-open the Settings window.

But I just have this unnerving feeling it's going the reinstall way. I'll remove it and give it another go after I have made a backup of my FSX folder. Stuck disc 1 in with acceleration installed. Hopefully you didn't just stick Disk 1 in, and, do a Repair with SP1, SP2, or, Acceleration installed. You may need it again and it's a lot easier than a Repair, or, Re-Install.Don Once you have your FSX up and running properly again, back it up, a ll of it.
Using Control Panel/Programs and Features, uninstall SP1, SP2, or, Acceleration until Microsoft Flight Simulator X version 5.0(Deluxe) is all that remains. If you have SP1, SP2, or Acceleration installed, they must be uninstalled before a repair attempt, and reinstalled, after the repair, or it won't work. You can make a copy of your existing FSX folder before the repair and paste those individual files back in afterwards.Īcceleration Repair only fixes what the Acceleration expansion pack modifies/adds. The biggie with a Repair is any default file, including those default aircraft.cfgs with added liveries, that have been modified, tweaked, or otherwise changed, will be returned to default status. The Disk 1 Repair is for FSX RTM/Deluxe, with no SPs or Accel installed. Reinstall coming up me thinks.Hopefully you didn't just stick Disk 1 in, and, do a Repair with SP1, SP2, or, Acceleration installed.
Not that it matters at the moment since I tried a fsx repair for my original problem which has now screwed fsx right up with a fatal error message at the splash screen. I assume being a Gold user I follow the Deluxe instructions.
