Some inaccuracies

[Philipp737]

Hi, I bought the plane yesterday do to some good reviews. However, there are a few things which should be looked at:

ECU test in the real plane only works if all engine parameters are in the green. Especially in lower temperature it can take serveral minutes until a ECU test can be performed.

ECU test performs two cycles (it can be heard in the audio file, however, it´s not simulated)

Switching from ECU A to B is not simulated (the typical switching can be clearly heard and felt in the real plane).

not all speed bugs are displayed. furthermore they can´t be changed as in the real plane.

I´d appreciate of some of those point can be inculuded in a further update.

Regard,

Philipp

Regarding ECU test needing parameters in the green: I've got this logged and will look into this.

Regarding the two cycles, this is currently simulated already, what parameter is making you think it isn't doing the two cycles?

Regarding ECU switching, this is also already simulated, there should be an RPM kick when the handoff occurs.

Regarding speed bugs, the V speed notes are unfortunately not something we can change much as it is part of the X-Plane X1000 and only certain values can be set.

Hi,

I had a look at it again:

@ two cycles: You are correct, it´s doing two cycles. However, the indication on the PFD is not correct and this lead me thinking it´s not simulated correctly. If you press the ECU test button it should say "ECU A/B fail" and this message should dissapear after the second cycle (when the test is fully completed). Currently the fail message dissapears for a few secounds after the first cycle already and this lead me think that the test is completed.

@ ECU switching: no, I couldn´t see any RPM change. Apart from the RPM change I think a correct animation (sound, shaking of airplane) is very important, because in the real plane you don´t look at the RPM you simply "feel" the switching of the ECUs.
