  1. Your log disagrees.
  2. Roughly 700nm as per SkyVector.
  3. I believe it's normal - legs are removed as they're passed, but they're not erased from the ND, this happens in other planes too. The reason it's more obvious in the IXEG is because after landing, in other addons, the FMS resets all parts of the flight plan (including erasing the flight path on the ND), which doesn't happen yet in the IXEG…
  4. Or more likely, laziness. The proper autopilot disconnect button is on the yoke, which requires moving around the 3D cockpit, or worse, re-enabling the yokes if they're hidden, whereas the disconnect bar is easily accessible on the MCP. There's always mapping a command to a button or a key, but just about every advanced addon has its own custom command for this. You can script around it using e.g. FlyWithLua, but not everyone is willing to deal with X-Plane's "internals", and also what happens if you have a bug and the developer asks you to "remove all other plugins"? The third solution is to remap the key/button whenever switching planes, but that's equally cumbersome…
  5. Out of curiosity (I don't use FlyWithLua), could you elaborate on what it does differently from DRT?

    Glad it's finally solved!
  7. Did you check whether all fuel pumps for the L & R tanks are on and operational? Did you deactivate X-Plane's built-in failures system (enabled by default)?
  8. It doesn't cover wether latitude/longitude coordinates are supported, and how they should be formatted if they are
  9. Same here - not sure what sound card I have right now. I have a 27" non-Retina iMac.
  10. LNAV and autopilot (CMD) can be selected from 400ft AGL, VNAV can be selected from 1000ft AGL. As they say on Game of Thrones: "It is known."
  11. Airports must be included.
  12. This gets reported so often, one of the hotfixes should simply have made the page say INOP or something…

    FWIW, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724832(v=vs.85).aspx
  14. Did you enter plan fuel?
  15. Do you know what the issue(s) might be? Maybe someone else can fix them. Or maybe you have a link to one of these junk-filled logs?
  16. This is printed by the terrain radar, BTW
  17. You weren't on VATSIM the other day. I saw a Twitch stream where the controller was so overwhelmed by traffic that ATC had to say "unable" multiple times

    Aircraft/X-Aviation is the default install folder; also, if you install it outside the Aircraft folder, how is the plane supposed to show up in X-Plane's open aircraft dialog???
  19. I wonder whether the .txt extension could also be supported? This way we could easily copy coroutes to and from J.A.R. Design planes' coroutes folder. The format (ICAO SID WP1 WP2 … WPn STAR ICAO) is the same.
  20. Not terribly important, but FWIW, this command existed as of version 1.0, AFAIK. It definitely predates 1.0.5.
  21. I've yet to see a write-only dataref for X-Plane. My guess it you're trying to read it with the wrong accessor (e.g. trying to read it as a float and it's an int dataref, or vice-versa).
  22. Oh that makes sense. I noticed that when disconnecting A/T using the button on the thrust levers (or the associated custom command), the A/T switch on the MCP also goes to the off position, which seemed odd to me, but maybe the thrust lever button cut the power to the MCP switch?

    List of bugs

    It may help if you indicate which navdata provider you're using (default cycle that comes with the plane, a subscription from Aerosoft, or Navigraph) and which AIRAC cycle is installed.

    GW in the FMC

    If you set plan fuel, GW will not update. You may set plan fuel to e.g. calculate V-speeds before refueling is complete, but you must delete plan fuel (once refueling is complete, IIRC preferably before engine start) if you want the gross weight to update again.
