it is NOT as expected, it also should be backlit. on my list for next patch.. Thank you. -tk

Hi all, I'd like to throw this out there to see if this is just me, or a common issue. I'm a long time X-Plane 11 user, and upgraded to X-Plane 12 (I'm currently on 12.04). I bought the AFM G5 plugin for X-Plane 11 in 2020, and when I got the email that it was ready for use with X-Plane 12, I downloaded the update (v2.1.0), installed it, flew the G5 172 provided with the plugin, activated the license, and started flying. Everything works great except for one, relatively small detail: when I click either of the GPS screens in the cockpit, the 2D-window does not open. I went back and re-tested the version in X-Plane 11 (2.0.0), and the G5 172 does not exhibit this behavior (clicking either GPS opens a 2D window of the GPS screen). While a workaround exists (assigning keys to the 2D GPS Window popups), I did want to post this to let the developers know in case this is not expected behavior, and to see if any other users of v2.1 have seen this behavior in X-Plane 12. Thanks all! log_could_not_popout_gps_g5cessna.txt Log_standard_cessna.txt

Presumably on the MU2? This is an oversight on my part and fixed for the next MU2 patch (for those concerned) -tkyler

I will add that I myself prefer a bit longer startup as I enjoy the sights/sounds of the start process myself. Right now its hard coded and I can lower the 'starter strength' to slow it down a bit, which I probably will when I get back to the Moo engine tweaking...to make it more of an "average" start time of 40 - 50s, etc. -tk

Got a few more from a recent flight showing the aircraft easing into Le Bourget

That changelog is larger than the MSFS source code ;-) Oliver

Thanks both! The checklist just has me scratching my head for 98% of the time and even with DCS and other jets, I've usually learned mostly by watching videos then repeating it, then looking at the checklist which at that point makes more sense as I know I'm looking at the right areas of the cockpit. I have downloaded and printed out the 605 documents so a lot of reading for me! Very interesting stuff and I really enjoy watching and learning how things work especially in this detailed jet. I just watched the refuelling video and it was interesting to see how the center/aux center tanks worked! Funny how by learning this jet, I'm faffing about more compared to actually flying but it's so fun when something that went wrong with the last startup sequence is identified and corrected in the following attempt.

Hello, Navigate to your LEGS page and locate the waypoint which has had a constraint applied. Input the required level into the scratchpad and use the appropriate right side LSK (line select key) to transfer the information from the scratchpad. Some additional information below that you may find useful: - To enter an altitude simply input "6000" or "12000". To enter a flight level input "F310" or "FL310" - If you're given an "at or above" put "A" afterwards, eg. "6000A". - If you're given an "at or below" put "B" afterwards, eg. "F270B" - If you're given a "between" enter the lower altitude, then "A", then the upper altitude and "B" - eg. "7000A9000B" - You can also input a speed restriction at the same time, eg. "250/10000" or "220/5000" using the forward slash to separate.
