SWA4420

Hi TomK - for me, it's been all about the altitude restrictions. If it says 18000A, it causes an extreme delay in descent for getting on glide. If I code it to 18000, it tended to work better with the older version and stayed on glide a lot better after changing all Above to the specified altitude instead. I've made a couple of flights since updating to 1.31, and it hasn't worked as well-->had to use VS to get to different altitudes necessary to get her back on terra firma, alternating with VNAV. Best of luck with re-coding all this! Jim

Yes, VNAV descent is definitely still wonky....have had to use VS to get to/stay on glide. I do hope this will be fixed when the FMC is updated. Great plane overall though! Thanks for your hard work on it, Dev Team! Jim

THANK YOU!!!! I just did a perfect flight from KLAX-KOAK in VR, running 11.50b9 - fantastic aircraft....I wasn't expecting this update today, so again, thank you guys very much!!!! Jim

Thanks, Guys, it works now! Jim

Hi Cameron - the installer throws an error that it cannot create the directories when I run it. I run it as administrator....any ideas? "Error creating directory E:/X-Plane 11/Aircraft/X-Aviation/M20 Collection/M20TN Acclaim" Win10 latest version, 32GB ram, MSI Gforce 2080 TI w/11GB VRAM Thx, Jim

Thanks, Nick!

LOL, Nick! I hear you....yeah, I'm sure it would be a challenge to do that one, but I've asked for it before on this thread (several years ago), and nobody has done it....I have zero experience with livery painting myself.... Jim

How about SWA's "Arizona One" repaint.....please?!!!

Hi Jan - I've tried activating the AP immediately upon takeoff then hitting LNAV and VNAV, and it seems to do better...past couple of flights have gone OK. With VNAV, I've found that if an attitude is listed as 20000A, the plane will not descend unless I change it to /20000, and do it for all "A" restrictions listed, the plane will recalculate to hit those altitudes on descent to follow the profile correctly....more testing/flights to come! Thanks, Jim

Hi Tony - yes, I have the full goflight airliner captain setup including trim wheels. I also have a switch on my yoke for stab trim and one for aileron trim. I'll do another flight and if this happens again, I'll try your idea... Thanks, Jim

Hey Jan - OK - some more weirdness.... 1. sometimes the trim wheel sound is constant when it's hardly moving or not moving. 2. last two flights, VNAV was buggy - had to switch to VS 3. last flight - LNAV was problematic....it seems that it doesn't like to track more than a 90 degree turn after takeoff....last flight was a 180 turn once airborne. Specs: XP11.32r2, Win7-64, 16GB RAM, GTX 970 w/4GB VRAM, 3.5Ghz intel CPU. Jim

OK, thanks Jan, and I'll let you know if further issues crop up. As we know, XPlane is an ever-evolving platform, keeping you devs on your toes! Jim

Hi Litjan - my B733 is not tracking LNAV in the latest release of XP11.32r2. VNAV works fine, but not LNAV, and yes, I am very familiar with "flying" a B733 I have to use HDG select to for lateral tracking. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks, Jim EDIT - I did another flight, and it worked correctly...weird. XPlane did hang on exit, though...had to use WTM to end the process. QUESTION - is it possible to stop the FOV from resetting to 60 degrees whenever I switch views from external back into the cockpit? I have a 3 monitor setup and use 115 degrees for my

Hi Jan, Thanks for replying, and I do understand that it would require very in-depth work, but wow, it would be GREAT, as nobody else has done it....(guess there's not much hope, so I won't hold my breath ) Thanks, Jim

Hi - I love this fantastic plane, and I would love it even more if you guys could add the option to have a full steam gauge cockpit, the configuration that Southwest Airlines used in their -300 and -500 models. No developer has done this, with the exception of the default B735 in AeroflyFS2, and it would be GREAT if you guys at IXEG would do it! Thanks, Jim
