mikpen14 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is the INS on the Fly the Tiger operational to the point where you can navigate with it? And if so, do you get the same INS in the Patrouille Suisse X version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hello Mike, The Ins in the Tiger is programmable so you can get to a programmed point with it. As for the Patrouille Suisse X version I'll have to check. The Ins is exactly the same in the Patrouille Suisse so yes you can use it for navigation.

mikpen14 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thanks Shaun The Patrouille Suisse X will be my next purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikpen14 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 As mentioned I purchased the F5 Patrouille Suisse X and I am having some problems with turning dials back. What I mean is ie I can turn the Chaff dial to the right, but it will not allow me to turn it to te left to turn them off. Also, does the hud not function on it? And how do I activate the Autopilot? I read up on the INS use for her and have been able to input LATs/LONGs, but I dont know how to turn it on to fly there on her own? Finally, when I select Emmen from the airport menu, it only gives me the options to select runways to start from and not any parking/bunker positions, should that be the case? Im sorry for the number of questions, Im just stumped right now. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hello Mike, Have you found the manual to the product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hello Mike, The chaff dial is a bit strange, when in the VC view if you look at tit from 90 degrees say to your left and click on it it will move then move your view towards the front again say 45 degrees and click on it again it will move to a different position, same for going backward. I believe the HUD is non functional on this product. As for the INS you have to program it as per the instructions and then when you press the DEST DATA button it sets the bug in the HSI and then you have to follow it manually as it doesn't have an auto-pilot to the best of my knowledge.

mikpen14 0 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Alrighty, I find the Chaff switch fussy and will work at it. But I am disappointed in the INS system and that it doesnt work with an AFCS, having worked with the SSTSIM Concorde and now working with the FSLABS Concorde which use an INS for navigation, it would have been good to try it on a fighter. As for the HUD, does it work with the other F5 Tiger offering? If so, would it be possible to get the coding to add to the CFG, to make it work with my version? And the AFCAD for Emmen, is there one available so I can add other parking spots since it doesnt give you the option for other parking spots in the airport select menu? It only gives you the 2 runways to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hello Mike, I dont believe the Hud is modelled on the Tiger at all. As for the AFACD you could try adding a few of your own start positions using an AFCAD Facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikpen14 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 The drag chute is not visible to me in FSX. When I pull the handle the function seems to work, but when I look for it to deploy from an external view nothing happens. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hello Mike, It mentions in the manual why it may not show! Page 21 section 6 Useful Notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Shaun; Where would I be able to get one? Ive never done anything like this before. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hello Mike, You could buy a payware one from Flight1 called AFX or there are a few freeware ones around like ADE or FSX Planner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
