PILS: Awesome. thanks a ton for the videos. One thing that caught my eye to start with is how you set up your MFD's/PFD's. Apparently I have to be in the ROSE presentation to see the dashed lines of the upcoming switch to the ILS course and green needles? I have yet to see them even though I saw them on other videos. I may have solved one mystery. I have set mine up so that I am in PPOS. I like how you set up the copilot MFD for a bigger presentation to include the airspace. I am working to find the combinations I like and getting them into the memory locations so I can quickly set up what I need. I am still working to learn the ATS and the VNAV systems. I have been using Garmin G1000 on a Phenom 300 and that seemed intuitive and easy to follow and change. Collins is by far more capable and sophisticated and with that comes a steep learning curve. Watching the videos is instructive and I will try and record my flight and see if I can duplicate it. Thanks for all the help. Laura :-)

Sorry for quietness....the MU2 has been sitting at 95%+ done for the next update for a while. I decided last second to tweak the EGTs so as to have a proper crossover from Torque Limited to Temp limited at altitude...and that set off a round of flight testing I need to wrap up. The summer has just been packed full of activities, not all fun, lots of travel and its been a challenge to find blocks of time. Oshkosh is next week and is my last big activity for the year, so in speaking with Cameron, I plan to wrap up this update asap right after. ...and on a hopefully good note, XP12 new weather radar finally drops in 12.2 so I'll be squeezing that into the OEM variants, which along with the EGT will round out my "not done yet" list for the major features and I can then start messing about with improving the performance, systems accuracy and adding more liveries. -TK

He wasn't talking to you. You're not a customer of the 737 Classic Plus. To those that are, yes, FREE. You can attempt to label years past as abandoned, but even those years from 2016 and on saw many free updates, including through the X-Plane 10 to 11 transition.

I tried this approach in the V1.8 beta (highly recommended!), and was not able to replicate a NO APPR condition using standard procedures. There may be an inconsistency with the earlier implementation of the terminal area approach logic. However, a couple of tips when using Collins Pro Line avionics that are different from Boeing or Airbus: When performing an ILS (or LOC) approach, coming from FMS navigation, it is advised not to arm approach (APPR) before being inbound to the glideslope intercept point (or FAF when on a LOC approach), and established on the final approach course. In the case of ILS Z 08 at BUR, that's the point roughly 2nm before BUDDE (or BUDDE itself for LOC). One can arrive at this point using LNAV/VPATH (or VVS if desired). This is especially important at some airports with multiple step-downs on the intermediate approach segment, and there's an outside air temperature that can cause altimetry errors sufficient for the glideslope to be below these constraints. If on vectors from ATC (or self-vectoring) using heading select (HDG), then one should limit one's intercept angle to the localizer to ~30 degrees, and not to arm approach when too far laterally from the localizer as otherwise a false beam capture may occur. Hope that helps.
