Anything useful in the Log?

Sent, thanks for looking into it.

I'll send a download URL via PM. Too much PII in there to post publicly.

Hi, in the process of migrating from XP11 fto XP12. CL650 (v1.8) installed and generally working it seems, but the displays (PFD, ND, CDUs etc...) don't work in the 3D cockpit. But if I pop them up/out, those pop-ups/outs do work correctly. Enabling/disabling Zink bridge doesn't make a difference. NVIDIA RTX5080, driver 576.88 XP in windowed mode. License successfully updated. Never had this prob in XP11. Any idea? Best regards, Daniel

"fixed" in the sense of "adjusted", only on one side - so both side were using different NAV SRC.

Nice. So, is as solution for the NOAA problem on the (foreseeable) horizon, or is it far off? If the latter, I wonder if we could get the SimBrief import as a 2nd best interim solution. I guess the development effort ain't that big given that the SimBrief API pull is already there and copying the contained winds aloft data into the FMS legs data ain't a big deal. Unless I'm missing something.

Correct, but still far better than nothing for most cases where people will probably generate the flight plans within an hour before EOBT and having to enter the data manually. BTW, how does things work in real life? I'm assuming pilots have to enter the leg wind data from their dispatch OFP as well... or does the real FMS have a function that sends all waypoints via ACARS to some service and gets all the current predicted winds aloft data back, like you seem to have simulated with NOAA data before?

While we're at it, the SimBrief import function could use that wind data as well... :-)

Indeed, this was the case for me. It was after a turnaround so I guess that's why - I probably fixed just the NAV SRC for the next departure on the left side, not also the right side. Thanks!

I ran into this today on two consecutive sectors as well...

Hi, Situation: Host on XP12, left seater. Myself on XP11, right seater We've done two flights in shared cockpit now. Both times we had signficant scenery offset, even though having the same scenery installed from gateway today. Any clues what could be the reason for that? Unfortunately haven't been able to fly with someone also on XP11 to verify wether this is really an XP12<->11 issue.

Thanks, now got it. Hopefully getting to fly the CL650 this weekend finally again and will confirm.

Same here.

You mean CLR/DEL the following field? This didn't clear the fuel USED numbers in FUEL MGMT page... and the checklist item says to clear fuel USED. Anyway, will test again. Best regards, Daniel

Well, this is a very special 2-part item them, one that doesn't get the left column readout before the right column criteria is met? Sounds very strange. Anyway, will check next flight what's going on, thanks for the hint.

I observed the same... could someone enlighten us? Also, I'm seeing ATS on takeoff far exceed the set N1-TO limit (e.g. limit ~91%, but ATS pushing the engines to ~95%). Why? Best regards, Daniel

This checklist item has a quirk btw. When I select TO limit, the checklist system notices that I did and marks the checklist item green, but does not advance to the next item. It still needs a manual "next item" trigger. That seems to be a bug?!

Hi, the quick turn-around checklist has the item FMS FUEL USED - RESET: What am I supposed to do there? The used fuel quantities on the FUEL PRED page seem to be immune to any reset attempts via CLR/DEL. Not even resetting the FMS via STATUS page and flipping navdata base clears those counters (they do auto-clear later, I think when starting engines again or around that time). Best regards, Daniel

Hi, SSIA... although the ATS pushbutton on the glareshield has two LEDs next to it, neither one lights up in Lamp Test 1/2. Best regards, Daniel

Yes, I think this was in cruise. I'd argue that it shouldn't calculate with half-bank mode engaged when the trajectory is that low. Or does the real thing the same?

This is IPKAM2Z for ILS S 24 into LIRN. I've manually modified altitude constrait at BENTO from 7500A to 7500, don't be surprised. We're seeing that the lateral track RN411-BENTO seems to be completely off. The correct track is a right turn (DF leg) into BENTO after overflying RN411: FMS navdata coding seems to be ok-ish (at least it's CF-DF conformal to AIP): STAR:010,5,IPKA2Z,RW24,IPKAM,LI,E,A,E , , ,IF, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,LIRN,LI,P,A, , , , ; STAR:020,5,IPKA2Z,RW24,RN411,LI,P,C,EY , , ,CF, ,BAR,LI,D, , ,2669,0936,1290,0036, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ; STAR:030,5,IPKA2Z,RW24,BENTO,LI,P,C,EE H, , ,DF, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ; The 39.3NM trackmiles between RN411 and BENTO are far off. Interestingly, the vertical profile seems to be fine, with around 1850ft to lose between RN411 and BENTO on a 3° descent path. So the vertical profile seems to calculate a different lateral track internally?! I can't say what the bird would have flown as I got a DCT BENTO. Best regards, Daniel

Hi, I'm surprised that Vac can be lower than Vref... is that really correct? Best regards, Daniel

The problem is that X-Plane 11 doesn't have a global weather model, just a local weather bubble. Tools like ASXP just update this local bubble all the time. So X-Plane has no clue what weather you have 200NM away from your current position, so aircrafts can't pull that info from X-Plane. I think this is supposed to change in XP12. Until then, the only option for aircrafts is to pull that data from external sources like real-world Internet-accessible sources, ASXP or... (and that would be my preference) from the SimBrief OFP which contains wind data for every fix in the FPL. So, if the user downloaded a FPL from SimBrief, CL650 already parses the OFP XML anyway, so it has the wind data readily at the fingertips, to use on a subsequent WIND REQ. By taking the SimBrief-supplied wind data, this would match most closely an actual pilot entering the per-fix wind data from the OFP, just done automatically, which then matches the planned performance and thus fuel data.

Why are the EVS controls on the glareshield still there then? Do they exist in the real thing too even when no EVS option is installed?

Excellent - was looking for that in the LEGS pages.
