  1. We are not over-writing any of those settings, so it should not be a problem with our plane. Make sure to never close X-plane with the little "X" in the corner, always use the "close" dialog - or it will not save your settings. For recommended control settings, read the documentation, it is also discussed in "Quickflight #1". We recommend 0 artificial stability and 25% non-linear, iirc. Jan
  2. Just following up on this - did we fix these issues with 1.0.2? Thanks for your help, Jan
  3. Quick thinking, James. I think we have modeled the alignment process not working when the airplane is moving. Without engines, the plane shouldn´t move much, unless the ramp is slopey. But I have also seen users that started the engines without the hyd-pumps on, and never realised the brake accumulator was depleted. That being said, we look into improving charging of the brake accu during reboots - right now a gizmo-reboot won´t recharge it, so you would either have to run the B hydraulic pressure up, or reload the aircraft... Jan
  4. That is true - the weights on the PERF INIT don´t update every frame, just every 2 seconds (we figured that you can´t really burn too much fuel in 2 seconds to warrant a higher frequency). The downside is that you sometimes see this small lag when switching to the PERF INIT page. Once that page updates, the changed GW is also transmitted to the APPROACH REF page. Unfortunately this won´t work without going to the PERF INIT first, so that is what we are fixing (looking into making it a smaller interval, too) Jan
  5. Ok, we will look into increasing oil pressure a bit in the future, I agree that it is a bit lower than in the real plane ;-) Automatic failures is yet to come - we have some failures that you can trigger yourself in the "failures" menu, and some failures from the X-Plane failures work (engine failure, fire, ....) Since we control a lot of features through our plugin, you will get mixed results with the X-Plane failures, though. Jan
  6. Hmm, strange - can you tell me what kind of plugins you are running? Do you have add-ons, that change artwork settings (like Real Terra Haze)? Can you try without any plugins other than Gizmo (don´t forget to reboot X-Plane!) and report back? Thanks, Jan
  7. ...and I am pretty sure you entered the displayed airport position into the "hollow boxes"? Take a look at the Quickstart guide #2 or Tutorial #3, they both contain the procedures for that. Jan
  8. Good report, was known. Will take a bit longer to fix (need to port code over for right CDU). Hopefully next hotfix, possible a bit longer. Just ask your Captain to do the POS INIT for you in the meantime (about time he gets to work, that lazy slob!) Jan
  9. Good report, thank you! Was known and should be fixed for next update. No effect on aircraft ops, though. Jan
  10. Hi and thanks for the feedback! This is a bug, and we will fix it with the next update Ok, we will take a look at that - Tom has a good fix in for the next update relating to STAR selection... During idle on ground, oil pressure should be in the yellow range, this is realistic. During takeoff, it just needs to be "in the green", exact pressure would vary Some work to do with the ToC marker. It´s perfectly normal to not hit it "exactly", same in the real plane. But when at crz, in the real plane it simply gets deleted. Tuning of these kind of functions will ensue shortly (after fixing the gizmo softcrashes) Thanks again, Jan
  11. Well, nothing is impossible Jan
  12. Thanks, gentlemen - we are working on the bugs as we type, and have already stacked up a nice load again... Not sure when we will do the next fix, so don´t quote me on this ,but I am thinking more days rather than weeks. Jan
  13. Just the FMC display wasn´t updated in the last update - if the config menu shows 1.0.2, you are good to go Jan
  14. Xander, what is wrong with the anti-skid? There is no real anti-skid in X-Plane, unfortunately... You will get the smoke and the squealing if you stomp on the brakes. Jan
  15. Thats very nice of you to say - thank you very much! Jan
  16. The light on the left side doubles as the "emergency exit light" - it will shine whenever the emergency exit light switch is armed (and no power on the AC buses) or when it is on. In a previous version, it was defaulted to "arm" for cold+dark, this was not correct. It would drain the battery over night... So now, flip the guard down to get it going - or use the flashlight, or the dome light. Jan
  17. Hi Peter, the ability to save them was removed, but you can certainly load them. You can make them with a simple text editor, or dedicated output software. I think its explained in the docs. Jan
  18. Hi, and thanks for the great reports - everyone, keep em coming. We want to get this polished and gleaming. Some stuff might take a while to get to, but we catalogue everything. Descent forcast page is a placeholder and has no effect right now. More to come. Jump to .84 is fixed in next update A LOT of VNAV descent tuning yet to come - this is the stuff that will get fixed in that Ok, will try to take a look - have to maybe get the NOAA plugin - but VNAV climb is using the very same logic that FL CHG is (with a different speed source, of course) I think you would actually be able to, depending on environmental conditions (747s do, all the time, but with a stronger APU) - but it´s really tough on the APU Future tuning Future tuning Known, will take a bit to fix Cheer, Jan
  19. Actually, #2 is our fault - when I did the videos, we still had a little inaccuracy going - the numbers over the engine instruments are only shown, if you are setting your N1 limit "manually" (pull out the grey knobs on the bottom of the EIS to get that going)... so in normal operation, you shouldn´t see any numbers there. Jan
  20. Fixed for next update... you did nothing wrong
  21. And there will also be an output of FPA on the DESCENT page (once we get that working)...
  22. It is actually a different issue (braking effectiveness vs differential braking effect), but your complaint will be fixed in the next update (tweak to yaw-effect of differential braking). I do recomend (as do the airlines!) to use the autobrake for slowing down, only using the rudder to steer. Most people will not be able to brake symmetrically (I still can´t after 20 years), leading to too much brake on one side, with deflected pedals to the other side - resulting in overheating brakes on one side. Some people say that this is attributed to driving a stick-shift car, where the left foot is conditioned to stomp on the clutch, and the right foot is more sensitive with brakes and gas... Jan
