overspeed while flying

when ever i do a flight in fspassengers i get overspeeded easily because the max speed changes while im flying at altitudes starting at
28,000 feet to 35,000 feet. this might have happened be4 i got fspassengers but i dont think so because i never and i repeat never got
overspeeded. any1 know what to do?

PS. this only happened twice, im not sure if its a different bug or fsp.

[Eponnox]

dont think its to do with fsp

think its to do with thin air you can reduce power and keep high speed

but you might be able to disable it in fsp

look in FAQ

[Sovek]

there are several ways to fix it, disable overspeed penelty, fly slower or buy FSUIPC.

What's the plane?

I encountered this tonight.

Partially my fault. Partially unavoidable with my current settings.

I was in a mooney (I'm a c2 still) and at 11,500 (to avoid the storm front at about 9pm around the memphis area tonight) going 170kts.

Now I new about the storm front, and I barely brushed the west side (back) of it.

What I should have done was slow down to a safer bad weather speed, such as 120 kts. But no I kept on trucking at 170 kts. Well next
thing you know, a gust of wind or whatever, shoots me up to over 200 kts and overspeed. Only for a split second but it was enough to
earn -600 points.

Moral of the story,

1) download that program thingy (i know nothing about that) or
2) take it EXTRA cautious because the weather in fs2004, though cool, isn't perfect yet
3) disable the penalty for overspeed

Personally I'm going to take action 2, because when you are in a GA aircraft you have to do that anyway!!!! And if you in a larger jet you
should out of courtesy for your passengers till your above the clouds

[Lt. Grullon]

Yeah that sucks, but its dude to your weather not FSP. This has happen to many of us due to the weather setting in FS9. And on buying
that FSUIPC.....I dont know if you want that. Unless you really, really want to take it to the next level

To add to the overspeed issue,

Just a few minutes ago, on the return trip from mississippi back to st louis my altimeter went CRAZY. I had to hold the B key down for i
dunno 10 minutes before I actually got sick of doing it and went to manual altitude hold while my altimeter just spun around and around
and around and around and around.

A few observations,

1) This happened to me on the way south in roughly the same area (thought it was due to the storm and wind)
2) this happened in roughly the same area hmm....
3) Both times, the ATC constantly, and I mean constantly yells at AI aircraft to change altitude and proceed on course, and I don't mean
that it says they are off by 3 or 4 hundred feet. I recall one specifically stating that the aircraft was more than 14,000 feet below assigned
altitude.

4) this might of happened while on the same ATC freq as the trip south as well.
5) when the atimeter "corrects itself" the plane goes into a sharp nosedive.
6)SONOFA

Now my passenger satisfaction is 0% because my aircraft (mooney) went into a mysterious rocket propelled accelleration

Ok so yeah something is very BUGGY my maximum altitude is apparently FL470 ??????????????
when did i hit that???? Well there's like -2000 points ( i am set to automatically record flights too)


UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH

[Jason]

and the altimeter appears to be stuck on 31.50 and i cannot change it unless i hold down B. And when i let off the key, it goes right back
to 31.50.

but it's only in this area??? around memphis area???

wierd.

Anyone else have this issue before?

[Jason]

OK so the ATC just told me my atimeter should be 7331


Oh boy, what is going on here.

[runibl]

It seems like the Bermuda Triangle just moved to Memphis

Jokes aside for a moment. I have never seen this or even heard about this. Are you using any addons? Maybe something in the Memphis area?
Can you give me more exact location, route that you flew, weather conditions and settings you used for that flight? Maybe I can recreate that.

[Dynamo]

Hopefully the dynamic pressure fronts get sorted in FSX - continuous changes to WX and pressure would be a lot better.

I too have been having overspeed issues pretty much constantly since fs9 real weather went down last month nothing is more irritating
than being 10 min from landing and having the over speed alarm go off, I have been thinking of getting activesky but i wish they had
a "lite" version LOL

[jetdude43]

sry i anserd l8 its just that i live in argentina. the plain that i usualy fly in fsp is a 737-800 with winglets.

[jetdude43]

i can tell all of yes its not the weather, i do fly in bad weather conditions 4 an adventure but those two times that it happened i was flying in
the nicest weather conditions u can imagine. o and im only 10, my dad hates 2 buy stuff off the comp i was lucky that i got fsfassengers
so no way is my dad going to let me get FSUIPC. o and guys if u have another prob plz start your own forum

[SaVas]

FS9 is finicky when you fly over FL300 sometimes even with addons like FSUIPC and Active Sky. This is one reason why I will rarely fly
over FL350 and often times the aircraft.cfg file has an incorect max speed limit designed into it. Sometimes searching airliners.net can
help if you know how to edit the file, but the 'winds' high above can shift dramatically still.
