Incorrect flight phase

[Flc80]

Dear all,

I've been using this amazing model for quite some time and can already do a full flight using VNAV and LNAV without any issues. However, I have noticed that during descent phase, the display just above the engine gauges stays stuck at CRZ, even though the FMC successfully begins descent.

Any idea if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help!

It is a bug - you will find that the VNAV descent part of the FMS does not work very well.

VNAV during descent works ok if you are not changing your descent profile and if you don´t have complex restrictions on your descent path.

In general I recommend to observe airplane behaviour and profile closely during descent and revert to selected modes (FL CHG or V/S) if that is not satisfactory.

Cheers, Jan
