I found "reason" of Missing key control of AES problem.

[Zephyr RU 3]

I read a few guys posts of this problem.....but all answers were kind of nothing.

just say "re-install!", "read FAQ!"

I was doing that. but I have same problem.

0. Problem

missing control key. F1 - F10. but working ctrl + shift + w.

1. Test Enviroment

*Aerosoft Mega Airport Dusseldorf -I dont use licences(money) for other airport. -

*Windows7 with FSX.

*PMDG B737 NGX

*AES 2.26

2. Test Patterns.

Pattern 1.

start FSX. and run Free fright from Active Runway with Engine Start.

->working F1 - F10 keys. for example. follow me car is coming.

Pattern 2.

start FSX. and run Free Flight from Gate and Parking　with Engine Start.

->not working F1 - F10 key. can't close window by F10. but we can menu F1 - F3.

Pattern 3.

start FSX. and run Free fright from Active Runway with Engine Start.

"and" End Flight.(not close FSX) . Run Free Flight from Gate and Parking.

->working F1 - F10 keys! but showed up "Set brakes and stop engines!". I see. I know. I will stop and break!

Pattern 4.

start FSX. and run Free Flight from Gate and Parking.

->not working F1 - F10 key. cant close window by F10

Pattern 5.

start FSX. and run Free Flight from Gate and Parking　with Cold and Dark.

->working!

3. Problems and Reason

Initializing and State problem of ASE 2.26. may be.

I dont see source code...just my imagine. I am not esper

4. Normal plane and 3rd party plane.

may be some people want start from Engine Start State.

I saw, thats reason some guys post same problem.

when "having fun to flight", we dont have much time except student. (sorry!)

default FSX planes are easy to start engines. just "ctrl + E".

but PMDG and others are difficult and need time. from Cold and dark.

we want "Gate Position with Engine starting". starting from "Push Back".

...or only me?

I hope, some guys will read this.

To your point:

Pattern 1: -> Works as designed

Pattern 2+3: When you place a aircraft with runing engines at a Gate/Position via FSX GOTO Menu, the aircarft is always place at the center of the Position defined in the AFCAD of the scenery, not related to his "best posible" location on the parkinggrid. So it could happen, depending on size, placement of the Gate in the AFCAD and the size of you airplane, that you are placed outside of the inner area of the Gate and you need to move (SLEW Mode) the aircraft to get to the correct Stopposition, then you will see the message "set brakes and stop engine". When this is done, you have the menu to select the AES Gateoptions.

Pattern 4: When you have the FSX with ACC-Pack (not SP2) installed, it could happen as a bug of the ACC-Pack, that the transparent window of AES opens "minimized", only the Headline is in view, then you only need to use the mouse to pull down the lower border and the window will shown complete.

Pattern 5: -> Works as designed.

thanks, oliver!

about Pattern 4. I dont have ACC at all. I used just SP2.

I could see menu from F1 - F4. not minimized window.at all.

I just cant use that F1-F4 keys and F10 at all. except ctrl + shift +W.

for example.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AES - Airport Enhancement Services - 2.66 - EDDL - <Close windows with F10>

Request Followme to Position: Dock 5

F1 - decrement Position

F2 - increment Position

F3 - Request Follow Me to selected Position

F4 - *nothing

Did you have the ATC Window open? This can block the F-Keys.

And, as I explain i Pattern 2+3, when you have the Followme Window at the Gate, the aircraft is not correct in place.

[Zephyr RU 3]

no. there are not ATC window. Pattern 1- 5 were same situation. just start, just ctrl + shit + w.

this is my screen.

I found the issue, is a combi of the wrong position of the aircraft and the activation of the position. When you Slew forward until the marshaller give you the stop sign, the position goes active.

Will be corrected next version.

thanks. we will wait that.
