  1. Your seat position is still too low. Look at the two balls on the right side of the eye height tool, they should be completely superimposed, not offset like they are.
  2. There’s nothing on the CAS to tell you which non-passenger door is open.
  3. I’m running Win 11 (dev channel) and have had no issues with the 650. For the most part it seems more GUI change than underlying operating system change.
  4. It’s probably trying to fetch what you put in. Aviation weather doesn’t accept the numeric either, you have to put in the K by hand. Works: https://aviationweather.gov/metar/data?ids=K6a2&format=raw&date=&hours=0 Doesn’t: https://aviationweather.gov/metar/data?ids=6a2&format=raw&date=&hours=0
  5. Nevermind.. It’s a cute feature of the real FMS that it’ll determine the lat/long where 2 airways meet and create a user waypoint. Not as easy in the stuff I’ve flown.
  6. Curious, any breakers popped? Especially in the panel down by the captains feet?
  7. Before this one gets locked, @Pils can I put in an RFE for the installer to give you a “try again” or “cancel” option on “can’t read file”? Theoretically one could get around this by manually placing the gizmo file (for example) into the x-plane directory and “retry” proceeding to install it rather than just giving up and exiting to desktop. FWIW
  8. They’re trying to read a file called TPP-Metafile.xml, which is likely an index of links to the actual procedures (idk how the FAA API works, just an old pilot who’s now a network/firewall jockey) - as long as the index can’t be fetched, none of the files that index references can be fetched, if ya know what I mean. Logical that it’s the issue from the report and evidence, educated speculation without knowing exactly how it works. I’m thinking the 2112 in the original URL is probably a reference to the cycle and now that we are on 2201 it broke.
  9. U.S. AIM 4-1-20 paragraph 3 says the same thing, “on“ before surface movement.
  10. The chart might exist, but the FAA index link it’s trying to get to doesn’t - 404 Not Found is a server side error code for “you asked for a page I don’t have”..
  11. Did you cycle the databases in the index/status page?
  12. Did it go back down after you leveled off in cruise? Could be resistive capacitance fuel sensors getting confused with the aircraft pitched up thinking there’s more gas in the tank than there is.
  13. In neither of those screenshots is the AP showing engaged in the FMA
  14. Hi, My googlefu isn't strong today; I'm trying to find a way to export the binding list (is it a dataref in x-plane?) for anything starting with C650/ and I can't seem to figure it out... Thanks in advance,
  15. I can't say that I've ever unintentionally pulled back through the detent with either the Boeing handles or the Airbus non-TR lever equipped handles (which also don't have a stop lever - is this how an A340/380 thrust lever setup is IRL? Have to look around for some pics, one flight deck I've never been in IRL). In MSFS I have the detent button mapped to... engine decrease?... for the FBW and it works great for reverse in that airframe. Still trying to get used to this setup as using the detent for cutoff and reverser lever Airbus handles. Seems... odd.. having to lift the reverser handles to pull back into ICO. I might just leave it with the Boeing handles, but life's kept me away from the sim for a few days so I haven't really had a chance to give the Airbus lever-equipped handles config a fair shot. Edit: OK quick look around it seems like the 340/380 don't have a reverse area like the 320. 330 and 340 have levers, and the 340 has 4 reverser levers so the Honeycomb Airbus pack is 2 levers short for that airframe (guess you just map #2 to engine1/2 reverse and #3 to engine 3/4 reverse). Still, lifting the TR handle to pull back into the detent for ICO seems, odd. I think it's just a spring... wonder if a bit of tape to let it come back through the detent without pulling the lever would finish making the Airbus pack match the 650 w/ left throttle button being TOGA and right button being ATS Disco... Least I have a giant snowstorm coming in tomorrow to play around with this stuff.
  16. We used to load the next database into the secondary database slot when it came out so when the cycle expired the aircraft would have a current database on board without having to wait for maintenance to come by and load it on cycle day.
  17. I believe it shows the touchdown FPS of the last number of recorded landings. Cycle through them by clicking the button.
  18. I used the CL650 left yoke AP disconnect (don’t have the sim in front of me to look it up ATM, sorry)
  19. Ah.. I’ll have to go look at mine. I’ve only used it for the FBW 320 and that uses the detent for reverse. Never looked at the other 2 levers. What do you do, move the TOGA button from the other two that don’t have levers?
  20. Right - but if pulling back past the detent isn’t ICO and you don’t have reverse levers any more, haven’t you lost a button? Boeing: red button, reverse, detent for ICO Airbus: red button, detent for reverse. Seems to me like you’re losing the reverse function?
  21. I haven’t looked at this profile, but using my Boeing throttle pack I have the detent mapped to fuel cutoff, the reverser lever mapped to reversers, and the red button mapped to TOGA. Since you lose a button with the Airbus pack how does this map out in this profile?
  22. Was on the ROBUC3 STAR for KBOS 22L about to transition to the ILS and got this strange TMP(C) message on my scratchpad? Just curious what it is? I've seen it elsewhere (legs page?) but not sure offhand exactly where... Thanks,
