Ok then. That was pilot error. When at the beginning of each flight when we hear that we have an exsive amount of fule and I recommend fule loading operations, should we use the perform fule loading operations? Both for flying by the seat of our pants and for the IYPVA flights? Maybe this is why I crashed on final into portland is because at the biginning of the flight I didn’t use the voice command perform flue loading operations. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi Ron, REGARDING: Just was wondering how to remove this message from the begiing of my flights. Why? This is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION that you must have. Once again I am completely baffled... but what's new. <SMILES> If your aircraft is 150,000 pounds overweight, and you crash on approach, then you'll likely send me an e-mail telling me that IYP is broken! Having the proper fuel weight is right at the top of the list of EXTREMELY IMPORTANT considerations. So, here I go again. Please explain... I am confused. Help!

Hi Ron, Please refer to page 61 of the IYP FLight Deck Doc for a complete description and example. Incidentally, why do you require its use? What aircraft are you attempting to side-step? Bypassing this value unnecessarily can cause serious negative effects that will lead to Michelle being unable to properly control in-flight operations. This feature is only to be used to side-step aircraft max gross weight value for aircraft that are not supported by IYP. Which leads me to ask, why do you need to bypass a max gross weight for an unsupported aircraft? Sorry... I am completely and utterly confused. Please help me understand. Thank you.

Let me see if the following is correct. 1. just inside the fsx folder where all of the fsx files are located, we must create a text file and we must call it IYPExceptions.txt 2. is this new text file suppose to go in the FSX root or in the aircraft.cfg file that we want to side step gross weight for? 3. What is the PIPE symbol? 4. Is it like within the airline.cfg file? Where each airlines is on it's own line with no spaces on either side of the airlines. For example Northwest You'll notice that just before and just after the word Northwest there are no spaces. Could I do the following? boeing Then Citation X For the above example, if I understand everything correctly, that would take care of all of the boeing birds and the citation x bird as well.
