Flying an approach

My Aircraft is rotating and is unable to
stabilize.

This is a problem when you are in SLEW mode, FSiPanel needs to use the slew
mode to position the aircraft correctly, if your controllers (joysticks) are
not perfectly trimmed, they may interfere with the process.

The best thing to do is the remove all assigned SLEW mode from your joystick
axis, your problem will be solved.

FSX Options / Settings / Controls / Control Axes

Flight Mode Slew

Controller type, check one after the other and delete ALL axis assignment to
slew functions.

Please do the same with FSUIPC.

Click on the link below to see a video showing you hot do remove axis
assignments.

Slew
Assignments

My FMS
is not set to the current airport / runway.

FSiPanel does NOT program your FMS
for an approach, only for a traffic pattern by importing the route FSIPANEL01
in the route page.

The ILS course is not correct

FSiPanel
uses your BGL files to create its airports database, this is to make sure that
the frequencies and courses match the ones used by FSX.

If you take the last Jeppesen revision, it might be that a new frequency is in
the air as well as an updated ILS course, however, if you set these
new values to FSX, you will not get a signal.

If you install an updated scenery which includes the new information, rebuild
your database by going to SETUP, OPTIONS, Update DB and FSiPanel will update
its database with the new values.

My aircraft was positioned correctly but too close from the terrain.

FSiPanel does NOT look at the terrain clearance
when positioning your aircraft, this is your responsibility as a pilot.

You can change all the default altitudes by clicking on the value to meet
the terrain clearance requirement

	Problem Updating FSiPanel You get the message to check your internet connection If you haven’t used FsiPanel for a while, some internet paramaters have changed and therefore older versions can’t access the server anymore. If your software version is 1.0.0.74 or below, you need to update manually by downloading a quick tool. Run the tool, choose a temporary directory, if FSiPanel is found on your computer, you just need to click update to get the last version, if not found, please locate manually FSiPanel.exe when prompted to do so.

	Prepar3D V3 PMDG Click Spots not working When the aircraft is loaded, several click spots are not working Prepar3D V3 doesn’t load the aircraft the same way as version V2, in some case, when ready to fly your approach, you find out that you can’t use your FMS, can’t arm approach, etc. A work around solution consists in launching P3D with the intended aircraft on ground and then program your approach using FSiPanel. To summarize: (Ex. PMDG 777) - Start P3D - Select the 777, any airport, on ground. - Wait until all systems are initialized (around 20sec) - Start FSiPanel and fly your approaches.

	You can’t import an aircraft When clicking on import AC, nothing happens. FSiPanel needs FSUIPC and SimConnect to work properly, FSX or P3D MUST as well be started with administrator rights. To have a quick view on where the problem lies: - Start FSX or P3D - Select any aircraft on ground. - In FSiPanel, go to Setup, Troubleshooting and click Launch tests button. FSiPanel will then check administrator rights for itself and the simulator, it will check your FSUIPC version, check that you don’t have a slew axis problem, etc. Once the report is finished, if you can’t fix the issue by yourself, please create a post on the forum and copy/paste your report.

	WARNING; Updating your favorite aircraft After updating my aircraft to latest release, FSiPanel doesn’t work anymore. FSiPanel works with the latest version of the supported aircraft, however, when a new release is published, FSiPanel might be not compatible until a new version is released. Therefore if you really want to fly approaches every day, wait until FSiPanel has been updated before installing your favorite aircraft update. PLEASE check that a post concerning the addon update is open on the forum, if not, please do so as I might be not aware of the update.

	Changing from Standalone, Server, Client I would like to use my Standalone version as a server. Standalone or Server version need to be installed via Flight1 wrapper in order to have the proper license file installed on your computer. So you can change the version as follow: Standalone to Server Standalone to Client Server to Standalone Server to Client NOTE: Client can not be changed, please use Flight1 if you want to change your version to Server or Standalone. How to proceed: - Browse to FSiPanel directory - Delete config.txt - Start FSiPanel and select the desired mode. Note: If you had previously created an airport database, you can skip this step.

	Server / Client Installation It is important to install FSiPanel using administrator rights and to disable your UAC (User Account Control) in order for FSiPanel to run correctly. No client setup file, how to install the client ? First install your server with the Flight1 wrapper, create the airport database and import at least one aircraft. Then, on your hard disk C:\fsipanel.com, you will find the file: SetupFSiPanel.exe, execute this file on your client computer and when prompted, select CLIENT installation, you won’t need to register.
