Yepp, I watched your video and it went well flying that this way

@Jan : Thank you for the link. I assume IRL the pilot first manually goes into the circle due to the existing rules and then relies to the automatic ? With my 733 I joined "somehow" the circle and used timer and heading mode, but that keeps me quite busy especially when there are still other things to do during descend, since mostly the hold gives me additional miles when I was late for descend for the one or the other reason @mjrhealth : no, I am using SI because of the very good voice interface, the astonishing AI model behind and the availability, that VATSIM et al. cannot match

Is there a fix entry point for the HOLD, i.e. as shown here always LETKU ? Or can I enter the ring any place convenient for my situation ? And what about the turn radius, i.e. is it a venial sin to overshoot when speed is to high ? And one more : I assume,the FIX is alway the begin or end of the leg ?

Hi all I wrote a small LUA script to fly a hold starting at any chosen point. As you can see in the picture, it already works quite well. I haven’t compensated for wind drift yet, therefore there still may be a shift. In my script, I specify the heading of the leg as well as its duration in seconds. I set the bank angle to 25 degrees. The speed is manually set to 215 knots, and I define whether the turn should be to the right or to the left. In principle I allow any reasonable altitude and of course altitude changes. The picture also shows a defined hold nearby, which seems to have a different size. Less bank angle ? Higher velocity ? So I would like to ask, what instructions does ATC issue when they clear an aircraft to hold ? And, by the way, does someone know how to write with LUA directly into the FMC scratchpad without "typing" every character via the keyboard. Thanks a lot

Ok, disregard, cannot reproduce this behaviour. I will watch it over the next flights

Hi I was handflying the DKB4H SID from EDDS to DKB by following runway heading until crossing DKB radial 228 and turning then to 48° heading. So far so good. A/T and FD ON, starting and climbing with TOGA and trying to follow the magenta elevation line. This line however sometimes jumped all of a sudden from about 8° to about 15° elevation and then slowly went back to below 10° und jumped again. Did this several times. What did I mess up here ? Has anyone else seen this before and a hint what I made wrong ? And by the way : why is heading sel announced, since AP is off ? Regards Joachim

Increasing the number of passengers ultimately does nothing more than raise the aircraft's weight. This can just as well be achieved by adjusting the payload respectively.

Quite some time ago, but tried it as shown in your video and good enough for me

Thank you for your immedeate response

Did anyone see something like this also ? XP12 last stable, 733 Classic Plus 1.5.2 At some time during flight, this strange effect appears Problem 1 : blurry text on CDU Problem 2 : switching to an other CDU page open this page as an overlay to the existing on, the old page has not been removed before AND : this effect up to now is just on one CDU, the second one performs as it should. Some advices out there ? Thanks Flyer

Merci

Hi Did not find this mentioned anywhere here before, thus strobe lights of the Classic Plus V1.5.2 look a bit poor compared to the XP11 version, and no strobe at all in the back of the AC. Greetings Joachim

Thank you

Hi Noticed this behaviour today : during descend and later approach the flight phase CLB was shown. Should that be this way ? Regards Joachim

Got it for dummies like me : can be switched in the preferences menu

Hi Since in X12 the plastic speed bugs cannot be set manually any more , I dont have no more vSpeedCallouts by this well known LUA-script, since bug 2, which is the trigger for V1, is not set automatically. I was not able to modify the script respectivly, thus, can anybody help ? Refards

Hi and sorry to bring it up again : besides all the pros and cons, since I am using X11 more than X12, will the installer for the X11 version still work in case I loose my installation ? Regards Joachim

In case it has not been posted before : Workaround for the Level-2 check issue : - choose start up with engines running in IXEG dialogue (apply settings) AND in XP12 aircraft menu ! - OR choose turnaround state in IXEG meu (apply settings) and uncheck start with engines running in XP12 arcraft menu Then shut down XP and restart and the bird is alife as wanted. Log file shows "Level-2 check good" then. Doing the settings above wrong leads to "Level-2 check FAILED". I was not able to get the bird alife from c&d anyway.

I get this unpleasant stage when I try to start in C&D or Turnaround. APU EGT is there, but no power shown or switchable via APU GEN switch. Also no power on Batts. APU however can be switched to off and EGT then is droping down. I made however the X12 update before trying first time. AND : after starting X12 several times the plane now comes up with full turnaround state

that´s it Merci

Just because it fits to the heading : what about wing and logo lights ? Nothing for the logo and only the left one

Yes, recharging battery healed the symptons Still it is a bit unpredictable if engine will start following the hints given here but up to now it´s a 50:50

Thanks for the reply. First time I encounter this at one of my aircrafts.

Hello Starting from EDVK for a short pattern, I found that the flight plan of a previous flight with a B733 from LDSP to EDDM has been loaded. Is it a feature ?

One more : due to the electrical system failure, it is not possible to start the engine, prop will not move at all. I think, this not starting behaviour has been reported here before
