Prospective buyer- couple of questions

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Believe it or not, I’m still spending time on FSX even though I have the new MSFS. I have a lot of nice airliner addons, and MSFS still kinda sucks. So I’m thinking about buying the 767 to hold me over until things get better on the new platform. 
Two quick questions:

1) Does the latest version play well with GSX? I’ve read in other places some kind of third-party gauge is required to open the doors. Is there an officially-supported, or at least readily-available, fix?

2) How well does the autopilot do with higher sim rates? The 767 has pretty long legs, and I don’t have time in my real life to watch the world go by at 1x. Lots of FSX models go kind of crazy with pitch oscillations above 4x. How does this one do at 8x?

Thanks in advance!

	Welcome. 1. No idea how or how GSX interacts with the 767. A third party gauge is not required, but only ONE pax and cargo door is modelled. 2. 4x works great. 8x is not recommended.

	Both of the lower hold cargo doors work. The easiest way is to get the door gauge that will show up on the overhead panel. It will open the L1 door and both forward and aft cargo doors. I believe it's still available here in Member Downloads.
