Hello guys,
Ive been a longtime p3d pmdg ngx user that decided to give xplane a try because I couldn't resist this aircraft. Its been a lot of fun so far to fly and the level of systems modelling is superb, even though it is still somewhat incomplete. The attention to detail is amazing and is what drew me into this sim, and I am glad that you seem to be supporting this aircraft well and rolling out numerous fixes in a timely manner. That being said I did notice some thing that were not quite right, I haven't seen them mentioned on the forum yet.
1.) The standby altimeter reads incorrectly even when set to the same pressure as the primary altimeter, it seems to be related to altitude, with the error being about 400-600ft by cruise.
2.) The engine oil temp drops to near zero degrees in a matter of seconds when the throttles are pushed back to idle starting decent, the temp seems normal up until that point.
3.) The oil pressure is lower than what I've seen in various cockpit videos in the same phase of flight.
4.) The CSD oil temp doesn't move from zero, and the preflight test does not work.
5.) The pack overheat test doesn't illuminate the respective lights.
6.) I had a duct overheat warning, but the reset button did not clear the light.
7.) The egt is too low during cruise, it is about 420-440 degrees, normally it is between 600 and 700 degrees at normal cruise power and altitude.
8.) VNAV bounces around during decent, never giving a smooth idle power decent, even with a simple crossing restriction the path changes several thousand feet, usually starting descent too early. Im not sure if this one is just a case of you modelling the quirks of the system, or an actual bug, maybe this is why southwest doesn't allow vnav usage?
9.) I noticed this after the latest hotfix, maybe it is real behavior, but the attitude indicators dont center until the left system is being fed off the engine genorator, not the apu. The same is true of the autobrake, but in this case with the right system. I thought the apu supplied power to the bus in the same way the engine generators did, I could be wrong about this.
10.) It seems like it takes an awful lot of power to get the airplane moving on the ground, I need at least 40% N1 to build up an kind of speed, after about 5-10 seconds I hit 10 kts.
Thanks, really enjoying this plane!
