MFD Problem

[JSpahn]

Hello all,

 Im wondering if anybody else has had ths problem and if there is a way to fix it? On my MFD the indicated airspeed shortly after takeoff stops and goes to 0????? It happens on different craft all around the same time. I noticed it after I installed The 737 experience

Any Ideas? :-?

Yep, I've also had this problem, even with the default FS9 aircraft. In my case it has always started working again after a few minutes. Sounds like a bug!

Thanks Guys,

   When I get some more time Ill tinker around a bit and see what I can dig up!

I have that problem with my 737s (all designers). I found a solution ( it works, really!): turn on the pilot heat! It works for me, but maybe my PC is freak (it is)

 Whenever my airspeed drops to zero it is because the pitot heat isn't on.  This is especially true in cold weather.  If you can't find the gauge, I believe you press shift+h.

Ah that makes sense  to me now I was flying around in a snow storm. Now in reality why does that happen? Just curious :-/

Wild that this is included in fs9, sorry still a newbie.  All this time I thought the pilot heat was actually for the pilot seriously :-? <--G.W.

masternerd,

That is p-i-T-o-t heat....... not "pilot" heat.  

best,

  Was looking at a heating element to add to the pit to keep me warm at high alltitude, just kidding :-? I need to work on my attention to detail!

Oops... should hjave read "...no airspeed change."  Yup...attention to details.

It's always a pleasure (and a challenge) to teach other people about the pitot-static systems since it's a rather complicated gimmic.

Gave it a try and works like a charm, its nice to know what that switch does. Ill  have 100 more head scratchers like that one. :-? Now when Im in the air the MFD does drop to zero, Im guessing fs 9 isnt 100% accurate?
