Only when I didn't turn on the pitot or put jack in my coffee.

G'day RD, That stuffs poison . The reason I asked is because I haven't got to the bottom of the gauges stopping working in Heavy Snow conditions ,they seem to work OK in all other conditions .They also stop working in the RAF 747 you did for me ,aye?. There seems to be a tie up somewhere ,might be a glitch in fs9, Cheers ,Art

Are you using default weather conditions or Real Weather???

If default, let me know. I will fly it as winter conditions you mentioned, and see what happens.

Also, which gauges exactly are not working correctly.

If you want to, you can make a new thread concerning this.

G'day RD, In the attachment you will see I was flying and climbing to 4000 feet ,the speed is still showing on the GPS screen but it would increase rapidly if I had left the speed gauge at zero [it had just tripped to zero] The weather was at the default Heavy Snows. Auto-pilot and auto-throttle still engaged. Location was in Germany. Barometric pressure set as advised by ATC.
I have been communicating on the FS2004 section ,you can move this there if you wish,Regards,Art

G'day Heeshung, I have tried placing NZIR into flight departure and destination in FS9 with no result .I take it this is McMurdo station .How can I get there with an aircraft.

I set my startup point to nzir and popped up there with no problem. It may be that due to it's remote location there may not be any navaids for it. Try a search for "antarctica" in the downloads library here and at the other major sites for scenery addons. I recall that there were a couple of adventures as well as some scenery enhancements that may help.

Exactly as Tropicalfish says aircraft moves forward with brakes on ,wheels are not sliding though.
Tried landing a F28 maybe it did not have reverse thrust as it didn't stop. I wonder if a C17 will stop on that 10000 foot runway.

Hi Guys , Made it to the McMurdo runway in a C17 and stopped before the end .had to do a balancing act to keep the aircraft stationary with reverse thrust as it sure is icy and slippery .All good fun.boldpilot

Who is Al Gore.
The amount of sim flying I do around this world will surely increase it's temperature by at least 10 degrees . maybe soon no ice.Art

Al Gore is a puppet......a political one, that spends more to heat his house, than he gets back pushing Global Warming.

Now that the truth is out, that YOUR THE ONE creating Global Warming, I should punish you with his Global Warming video.

Believe me, when you see it, you would have wished for the firing squad.

I could always fall back to the RAF motto "Per Adua Ad Astra" "**** you Jack I'm fireproof".

Flew a KC10 tanker from Christchurch to McMurdo today ,good landing on the runway [IFR] but mostly un-controllable trying to taxi, needed independent engine throttles
