    Fixed for next update... you did nothing wrong
  2. Litjan
    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

    Oh, I suffer marriage! Just kidding... (in case my wife reads this!)

    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

    Ridiculous

    Litjan replied to bigbasspic's topic in Bug Reports

    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
  14. Litjan
    And please report back with results - naturally very curious if that cured your problem! Jan
  15. Litjan
    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
  16. Litjan
    Yeah, this would also explain the overshoot on the turn to final. Good catch - we will look at it! Jan
  17. Litjan
    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

    Just stickshaker.

    Hi Lena, I think it should also be noted that the POS INIT page doesnt yet work on the right CDU - its slated for fixing soon, though. The default view position is set up for the Captain´s head position - but you can easily set views up for the FO side (using X-Plane´s quickview system) and also use our IXEG view system (it has a FO preset), and also alter and save those views. So in conclusion, there is really not much to get into the way of your virtual carreed as 737 FO . Happy landings, Jan

    It looks like you didnt select the SID (MCOY1)? I will try to reproduce that, thanks for the report! Jan EDIT: Works here with the Aerosoft database - which one are you on?
  21. Litjan
    Thanks, racingmars. Changing those value-labels is indeed on our list - a tiny bit involved, though, as I have been told... Jan
  22. Litjan
    Hold on for a second - small fix to hotfix coming up...
  23. Litjan
    Little trick I use for fine control - use your mousewheel (haha, get the joke?) to zoom in, then your control will be more precise with the click and drag... Jan
  24. Litjan
    Yeah, I agree - credit where credit is due. Although... quite honestly we didn´t see it on theirs and copied it (at least no one on the team admits to that ) . So it´s a clear case of "great minds think alike!" Jan
  25. Litjan
    Wasn´t there this really flexible elastic guy, too?
