Hi everyone, I am back from vacation and will go through all of the reports that came in over the last two weeks (I did manage to answer a few on my smartphone) in the next few days, catalogue and reply as warranted. There will be a next patch, of course, and fortunately it does not seem like we have any "must fix immediately" candidates in there. Our number one priority is the "gizmo soft crash", of course - we still have a few of those lingering, but I don´t have any good and solid reports, unfortunately. If you want your gizmo-crash to be fixed for sure, please include surefire steps (a video works best!) on how to reproduce it. The usual "there I was, flying the XYZ STAR into ABC airport..." unfortunately rarely helps, as even minute differences in performing the flight may or may not produce different results. Thanks for everyone´s patience, Jan

Dang, I am convinced now! And I also see that we must reasses our bugfixing and feature priority. As of right now, FMS, VNAV and cabin 3d are on hold until we get this most pressing omission squared away... Tom, please delete that VNAV overhaul and get cranking on the winglets! . Honestly... real classics don't have winglets.... Cheers, Jan

That is the recommended (and most realistic) way. Jan

That is no surprise, nozhong was done on VNAV. Jan

Hi, your request is noted and I will add it to our list for the next update! Thanks for your hard work on this plugin! Cheers, Jan

On vacation right now, but try this: Set a scattered layer and warch it from a valley airport in a default aircraft... I could see the clouds THROUGH the mountaintops on my machine. Jan

30C is the minimum TASS iirc.

Feels like it, sometimes . "Dont fly angry!"

Thanks! Jan

This is due to you levelling off in descent while in VNAV PTH. The VNAV descent is not fully working correctly yet... so if you see this revert to MCP SPD or some other mode except for VNAV. Jan

Who else likes the great movie "groundhog day"?

Dont set Navaids for possible engine failure, its bad luck . Seriously, normal procedures ask for setting navaids for departure and subsequent navaids, you would only set the ILS if you really needed it (LFML for example). In the real world the GS would not show on "other" side of ILS, but you can just cancel the warning by pushing on the light. Jan

You are right, the correct sequence of pages to show when INIT REF is pressed has been on my list for a good year, but its hard to get devtime for that . Still many more pressing issues to fix first. Thanks for the report, Jan

Fahrenheit is a derelict measurement of temperature used by backward people, only. Get with the program, its kilograms, meters, seconds and errr Kelvin, erm, Celsius... . seriously, I dont think they use Fahrenheit in serious aviation even in the U.S... Jan

Also check if you have gusty crosswinds set. Jan

Not yet. You can visualize those points by using the FIX page. Cheers, Jan

Hmm, I will take a look at this when I get home from vacation in two weeks! Thanks for the report, Jan

You can see these clouds through the terrain (mountain tops), too. So I think its a Laminar bug. Jan

We are still investigating this, but there may have been a last second **** up on our side just before 1.2 went out . We had them working at one point in time just before the update and its not quite clear if we missed a setting or if Laminar changed something. At any rate, we definitely plan to bring reflections back. Jan

There is.

Entering this to make conditipnal waypoints does not work yet. Planned for a future update. Cheers Jan

Hi Ian, its on the list for future improvements. Cheers, Jan

Simply a safety addition. If there is a lot of wind, chances are it may get gusty/turbulent near the ground (buildings,trees,etc.). More speed also enhances controllability, provides more stall margin/better energy reserve for a go-around and lessens WCA. Jan

Hi, can you show a short video or some screenshots that illustrate what is going on? Thanks, Jan

Yeah, with the seatbelts in OFF we turn lights on. With AUTO they follow the flight phases (bright during boarding, dim for takeoff etc) but with ON they are always off, because they bleed light into the cockpit (current XP11 limitation) and puristst (like me) want a way to turn that off. Jan
