OPTIONS

Diverse options can be set (and saved) in these three pages.

Most will be self-explanatory, some guidance on these:

• IRS ALIGN TIME: The inertial reference system uses a

system of gyroscopes to measure the movement of the

aircraft. As it knows the starting location it can

calculate the current position without any external

references (for example from GPS satellites or radio

navigation beacons). To be able to operate it needs

time to spin up and align itself. Depending on

conditions this can take quite some time. The settings

here can be used to select realistic time, a compressed

time or an instant IRS aligning.

• HELP MESSAGES: Toggles the display of additional

EICAS messages. In the CRJ the messages on the EICAS

can be rather cryptic, enabling this option makes them

easier to understand. They are always shown in

magenta.

• On some aircraft the Flight Number is shown in a

different location, select this is you fly non Lufthansa

models for sure.

• It is hard to know exactly what detent your throttle is

in because there is no haptic feedback. If you like you

can have PFD show what throttle detent you are. We

advise this to be on at the start.

This also means you do not have to look at the

throttles to know if they are in the correct detent.

• FSX and P3D have a nasty bug that makes all ground

handling cartoonlike. There is an option to fix this. If

you have the FSUIPC ground friction tweak already

active just keep this disabled

• PREPAR3D HDR LIGHTING: When HDR lighting is used

in P3D this needs to be activated to make Dave

readable.
