Hello,Thought I would post a quick shot to show some of the features coming in SU2. Terry and PMDG have been very busy!Enjoy,Georgehttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/47931.jpg

Looks real good. Thanks. I sure hope its not much longer.

>Looks real good. Thanks. I sure hope its not much longer. The team is working hard to get it out. I think the wait will be worth it, IMHO :-hah

im not trying to be rude but can you summarize all of the changes, I notice the F/D box and light, A/T light, the night blending, and the texture on the speed dial looks like it reflects the light a little bit (im trying to see if the other dials have changed--i think so) then I notice the box around the RA in the pfd, I know you wouldnt' have put it into PLAN mode and into the FMC unless there was something you wanted me to see so I'm really curious!! It looks stunning by the way! (also my comp crashed and I havent been able to get the PMDG 737 back in my comp yet, im gonan do that tonite--so please dont take offense at me missing anythign, i just have a rough picture in my head, so im not like doing a good comparison) Really looks great and I appreciate everything from your team! really is an excellent product!EDIT: I'm not tyring to nit pick but I noticed the RA in the PFD is yellowish, i think it might be white in the NG im not sure tho, you definitely know better than me and im not trying to cause any more grief or problems or dissappointments. Thanks a ton

Jamie, The cosmetic changes are minor compared to the inner workings that you cannot see in this screenshot. As for the RA being yellow, I think you are correct that it should be white, I think the reason it was yellow was before we had a black border around it to see it better. We will see if this is the case ;)[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/196432/winglets_lg.jpg

ok thanks a ton--and I noticed the SID stuff--lookin great!!! And thx for doin a Chicago area SID. DuPage (thats the KDPA visiable by the hold) is a beautiful airport--i havent flown outta there but i get lessons at outta other chicago airports!!! thanks a ton

"As for the RA being yellow, I think you are correct that it should be white,.."According to my (ever wrong) manuals, Randy, it turns to yellow (amber?) when you go through the DH RADIO height. It resets to white when you:Hit the RST switch on the EFIS C.P.TouchdownGo above the DH height setting by 75' or more.I don't think this has been looked at yet, in SU-2. I think the DH logic itself needs a few adjustments before this is attempted ;-)Cheers.Ian.

Sounds good, and it sure looks just like the intersection on the panel...Although I can't wait until SU2 will be released I hope you take all the time you need to add, improve, adjust and test the update. Kind regards,Mart

Hi Jamie,Have to leave it up to PMDG to summarize all of the changes, but you mentioned some of the good ones. Concerning plan mode and the FMC, notice that both the JVL4 STAR and ILS14R approach have been selected from the FMC. Also notice that the FMC included the missed approach and hold procedures for ILS14R.Did you catch the change just to the right of the FMC? ;-)George

I see a STEP prompt on the CDU, but there is no waypoint on the CDU page that is currently focused on (SEXXY). If you press NEXT PAGE, the STEP waypoint (that is centered on the PLAN mode display) is automatically changed to the top waypoint of the new CDU page displayed.

The STEP PROMPT is already done this way ;) but not sure why his screenshot is that way. It's 100% correct in the SU2 version I am running. Cheers,[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

I feel stupid Ian, we do have the color changing! I have not checked it for exacting detail but did notice it tonight....[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/196432/winglets_lg.jpg

Randy,perhaps it is somehow dependent on the hardware you are running. I suppose I could try the SU2-update on my comp if you send it to me and then I'll return it to you when I'm done. ;)/Krister

Step mode works fine. I took the shot this way to show the STAR, APP and Missed. I did a 'Next Page' on the FMC to show both the app and missed app waypoints.George
