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

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

Thats very nice of you to say - thank you very much! Jan

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

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

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

Greaser! Well done! Jan
-
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
-
Fixed for next update... you did nothing wrong
-
And there will also be an output of FPA on the DESCENT page (once we get that working)...
-
In a perfect world, maybe...

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

Of course there is NOT! What are you thinking this is?? Jan
-
Ach so! A tip - fly to the IAF, then push LNAV (this will disengage LNAV and you will enter the fallback state "CWS R"). Now enter a slight bank, maybe 10 degrees by pushing your joystick to the side. the plane will just keep flying circles until you engage another roll mode. If you have no wind, this will keep you circling over the same spot... Jan

While I in no way want to downplay the importance of the HOLD function, may I inquire what is stopping you from doing your approach preparation while you are enroute to your airport? Or - if you do a very short flight - just to enter two random waypoints in your LEGs page so the airplane flies back and forth? Jan
-
Ok - I will look into making a list for those, then. It will probably not be inlcuded until we do the first "real" patch, though. Off the top of my head (for now, reboot gizmo before flying a new flight, we will fix this in a bit, so it is not necessary anymore) Turn on fuel pumps, if now needed (after adding more fuel to CTR tank, for example) Turn on Fasten Belts signs again Reset Cabin Controller (Set new FLT ALT and LANDING ALT) Set up MCP (new values for departure) Set up FMS (Routing, performance, etc.) Set up EFIS and NavAids That should get you going... Jan
-
No, when in a transit-stop, only a few of those items are done (like resetting the cabin controller with the values for the next flight, re-programming the FMS, setting up the Navaids, etc.) Jan I cant check right now, but did you look in our documentation, Pilot Handbook, Normal Procedures? There should be a list...
-
I also applaud the work done here! I will certainly try myself, and by the time we have killed the most bugs, your SmartCopilot will be working perfectly, I am sure! Jan
-
Thanks for the report, will try to reproduce and then fix. Jan
-
We agree that there are still a lot of lingering problems - but assure you that we are working hard to get these problems taken care of. I am sorry that you are having a bad time with the product. I would maintain that it IS possible to enjoy the product as it is, though - as many users report. It all depends on your personal level of expecting a perfect and bug-free product. Jan
-
And please report back with results - naturally very curious if that cured your problem! Jan
-
Another way is to switch to FL CHG before overspeeding and then fly in FL CHG with high speed and speedbrakes until you are back on the vertical deviation pointer. Then you can engage VNAV again. Jan
-
Yeah, this would also explain the overshoot on the turn to final. Good catch - we will look at it! Jan
-
Also browse the forums a bit with those keywords - quite a few people had problems like you did, and quite a few managed to find a solution (usually not attributed to this aircraft). Thanks, Jan
