Tim, the trim indicator is not lit - it depends on ambient light to be seen. Make sure you have enough light in the cockpit to see it - I think in the real plane there is some backlighting somewhere in the control stand that sheds some light onto the trim indicator... Jan

Then don´t do that! This is not a NG! I suggest you look at some of the tutorials - in this case I would suggest tutorial #4. Have fun, Jan

Did you have VNAV armed at that point? Jan

You are right - this was a last-ditch effort to get this into the patch and there has been some confusion about what the right behaviour of that page should be. For now enjoy the fact that the TAKEOFF page will always show the correct trim setting - a luxury that the real pilots don´t have . Jan

Thanks for reporting back and happy you got it working! Jan

Roger, thanks! Jan

The real elevators are not connected to the fuselage, either - except in two connections - the elevator needs to be moveable as a whole for trimming. Jan

Thanks for the report!

Never mind, for me it works ok on both metric and imperial... We will have to search further. Jan

Well, if you look at the placard over the window, you will see that indeed quite a bit of weight-change is needed to see 1kt decrease... so I guess we can say that IF the GW changes for you on the APPROACH page, the speeds will also change - one less worry. Now we just need to find out why the GW changes for some people, but not for others... are you guys on Imperial or on Metric? Jan

Now THIS I could see - I am not sure if the real page will show the speeds updating while it is open, well, it probably does. So we will have to move these to a more frequent interval, too. The original problem was that the GW didn´t update, even if you kept re-opening the APPROACH page. Just to make sure, do the V-speeds update if you keep "refreshing" the APPROACH page? Thanks, Jan

Ok, thanks for the feeback... we will look into this to see if there could be any lingering issue. We (like most users, appearantly) are seeing the GW change appropriately. Maybe you can help us narrow it down - fill out the whole PERF page, fly with a route activated, use Imperial, use KGs, try different startup situations, anything to get that GW going down ;-) Thanks, Jan

Did you guys reboot X-Plane after the patch? It shouldnt be necessary, but just to make sure... Jan

Thanks for following up and reporting! This issue didnt make it into 1.0.3 but is already in our log... will bump it up due to the crash! Jan

Noted, thanks! Jan

Hi Bernt, I will try to replicate this - stay tuned! Jan

Thanks for the report - will verify! Jan

Try to disable "show custom datarefs in replay" in the PREFERENCES menu. This will help with the crashing, but you cant see the spoilers and reversers in replay anymore... Jan

Hi everyone, please help us scrutinize this - with every patch - despite careful testing - there is the chance that we introduce new bugs or don´t quite get the old ones (anyone said "spoilers"?? ). Would love to hear your feedback on this and keep the reports on bugs (in the support forum) coming! Highest priority of course are still the gizmo-softcrashes - though I do hope that we have reigned these in further signifcantly with this patch. Happy landings, Jan

Thanks, Tim!

Hi guys, I think the issue you are seeing reported in this thread may actually be a bug. When turning directly to a new waypoint, the plane should just make a simple turn, not re-intercept the line between the current position and the new waypoint. We will look at that during the tuning phase... Jan

Thanks gentlemen, nothing for me to add here. And thanks again for the report, Tom - especially the .84 issue should be fixed in 1.0.3 - the autopilot will now retain the current commanded speed when switching from VNAV to another pitch mode. Jan

You are not alone. There are probably quite a few 737 pilots out there that don´t really understand the system and why the airplane manufacturer introduced it. Jan

Could be that we mixed that up - thanks for the heads-up! Jan

Excellent, Thanks! Jan
