  1. As far as I know, there is no data for transition altitude in the data set of airports... But we will look into having this store between sessions like some other values do. Jan
  2. Hi Markus, yes, once you loose AC power (engines off) you can´t get the fuel from the center tank... The center tank fuel pump low pressure warning is disabled if the switches are off. Some thinking has to be done by the pilots on this plane, this is not an Airbus . You should be able to lower your landing gear with the manual gear extension, we currently have a bug where this doesn´t work when you don´t have battery power. We will fix that. Jan
  3. Idea is noted. For the future: Ideas and suggestions will be ranked much higher on my internal list if posted in the correct forum subsection . Jan
  4. We coded the MA lights to always be on whenever an FD or AP is on - to indicate which side FCC is master. But you are right - the lights should be OFF when the FD switches are off... Nils will kill me Jan
  5. Re-download the full version 1.0.7 here - hotfix servers are down for a bit. Jan
  6. I am certain it is something with your computer - since no one else reported this. Either you need to exempt your X-Plane folder from your virus scanner (avast, windows defender, ...) or there is a heat problem (if you run on Mac). Jan

    Custom speeds

    Thanks, we will look at this! Jan
  8. Thanks for the reports and the investigative efforts! We will look at this one! Jan
  9. Not sure if turn direction is specified in the database. If it is not, the plane will default to a right turn, I believe. We will look at it, Jan
  10. There has been a time (after the Pittsburgh crash) when all maneuvering speeds were increased by 10 kts (crossover issue). So in case the rudder freaks out, you can still counteract that with the ailerons. But that was uniformly for all speeds (i.e. Up = 220kts). So I am not sure where the discrepancy comes from. You can certainly use flaps 10 to fly 160 (we do it in London, where the controllers have a hissy-fit if you don´t fly EXACTLY 160 to 4 DME...). You could also use flaps 15 to fly 150, but the gear warning will freak out if you pull out the power... Jan
  11. Yes, we had to implement that because we have many U.S. users - so we will have both until the US sees the error in their ways... Jan
  12. We also have a system in place that will initialize your TA to either 18000 (western hemisphere) or 5000 (eastern hemisphere). Jan
  13. Hi Tom, thanks for the report! Jan
  14. Hi, there is no non-normal procedure for that. It is very rare, fortunately, but what has happened is that the battery charger failed, the battery drained and the planes generators dropped offline. Fortunately the weather was good (not even standby power)... Jan
  15. Hi, also check your joystick setup and "CWS deadband" setting in the Preferences menu. Sometimes joysticks interfere with the autopilot (like a pilot would in the plane if he pushed on the yoke while the AP is flying...) Jan
  16. Thanks for reporting back, Tchou!
  17. Thanks for the report, the video and the .txt! This will help us fix this issue... Cheers, Jan
  18. Thanks, Tom. We do expect some quirks to be found still with the "subsequent flights" - your report will help us narrow that down! Jan
  19. We are working on the problem! More info to follow shortly! Jan
  20. My money would be on the photosceneries you are running... Jan
  21. I think this is modeled correctly. Also note that X-Plane will enter a special "stopped" mode when the ground speed gets very low - this is due to problems with "friction creep" that X-Plane was suffering from. So whenever the ground speed gets very low, X-Plane acts as if the wheels are soldered to the ground, so you don´t weathervane and shimmy off the runway in wind, for example. That being said, it is not recommended to help with brakes during turns in an airliners. The differential moment is not very strong, and you would need a lot of power to overcome the braking effort. This is something for an emergency, for example if your Captain is incapacitated (the FO does not have a tiller) and you have to get off the runway to where stairs can get attached, But I wouldn´t even try to enter a regular stand or gate with differential braking, only. The power needed is too dangerous for ground equipment. Jan

    MCP reset?

    I agree that having that stuff preset is cool and saves time - but this ends for me where the functionality of the real plane is different. If you always get a certain value on powerup (like the DH, for example), then you should also do so on our model. I know we can get in the old argument again about what is more convenient for the user. But you know where I stand on that. . Jan
  23. I have NO clue... is there another plugin interfering? Thats my standard suspiscion. Try to map a key to "mixture down engine 1" and try again? Does it shut down if you pull up the fire switch? Thanks, Jan
  24. Hi Richard, thanks for the report. As far as I know, nothing was changed pertaining to camera control or use... so I am curious as to why this is happening now. Thanks again, Jan
