aviatop Posted December 14, 2011 Report Posted December 14, 2011 If this is true - nice progress. So appeciated that more functions to add with each update! But what about wind indicator? Is it planned to add in future? Quote
benoitl Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 CRJ is just getting better and better. Happy to see that hard work is still on-going Quote
davidngr Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Does the real FMC have the Descent point calculation?Or shall we compute it manually? Quote
medfox Posted December 21, 2011 Report Posted December 21, 2011 Hello Philipp!Any news about the update? Do we geht a christmas present?Cheers,Bernhard. Quote
thiengo Posted December 22, 2011 Report Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Amazing work. Turn the FMS more realistic is a big step to improve reality for the CRJ200...Collins FMS 4200 - ManualsHow wants send me a email, I can not share this document (tiago@thiengo.com)Maybe a help to understand the CRJ's CDU implanted...

philipp Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Posted January 9, 2012 No christmas present unfortunately, even for the Spanish christmas where you get the present on Jan 6th. However, we are getting there. I know several people who will like this:Philipp 1 Quote
davidngr Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Will the updated FMC calculate the DESCENT POINT? Quote
Japo32 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 I don't know if for this update 1.4, will be any calculation of Descent point. For sure we want to complete the fms as much as possible. But things takes time, and we think is more important to complete a holding page (that was ok but this one is better) than the start of descent, that can be calculated with the formula I put in the tutorial. But as said, we want to make vnav advisories in the future.Thanks 1 Quote

philipp Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 A late Santa told me he is shipping a few leftover Christmas presents to X-Aviation customers this week Among them, the completely reworked holdings: 1 Quote
Japo32 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 INCREDIBLE WORK FROM PHILIPP. I was testing this weekend and has to say that it a pleasure work with him! Quote
rosariomanzo Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 This aircraft gets better and better. Great work! Quote
davidngr Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Philip is a genius in the bottle:-) 1 Quote
deltapilot90 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Thanks Phillip and if I ever came across as a NAG LOL please don't take it that way I Just have a serious passion for this aircraft and I'm grateful that a simulated version is available. Just finished my ATP jet Training at Phoenix so it may explain why I expect so much...Patience...Yes I'm learning that right now Again looking forward for the update :-)P.S. (Here it comes ) Can we expect a VORHDG-BRG/DIS in the FMS later on? & Fix for way points (Some Departures require a cross @ XXXXft before 10DME ARC for eg.Not rushing just a curious question. Thanks -Tristan. Edited January 18, 2012 by deltapilot90 Quote
philipp Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Hi Tristan,depends on what information I can extract from the Navigraph procedures. Because there is a lot of guesswork involved as there is no DTD and I have to figure out all the quirks by try-and-error.So, can you give me an airport and a procedure where the feature you are thinking of is required?I need the airport and procedure code obviously, so I can look it up in the database, and a chart where I can see how it is _supposed_ to look like. Because chances are, this already works.Philipp Edited January 19, 2012 by philipp Quote
deltapilot90 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 No problem, DTW for example has a requirement to cross DXO at 10 DME ARC on a 095 radial (ERRTH3 departure). For the VORHDG-BRG/DIS I did a flight not too long ago DTW-UNV ( ERRTH3 ERRTH CXR325/12 CXR ETG PSB). I figured the coding of it all would lie the problem. I may soon look into database coding for dummies maybe some months from know have knowledge and could be of some help. So what already works? The DME ARC or the VORHDG-BRG/DIS?Tristan. Quote
deltapilot90 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Anything on the release a little birdie said this week...**cough** cough** its saturday Quote
Kieran Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 In another thread Philipp said he had released 1.4 to org customers and had found a large bug, so X-Aviation customers would be getting 1.4.1 Quote
deltapilot90 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 Any time frame on that? I got nothing at X AviationThanks for the update.Tristan Quote
