Hello all.Jaco du Preez and I were flying ANA's flight 1051, from Honolulu to Tokyo, yesterday night, and came up on a weird event, maybe a bug.As we try to do everything realistic, we started of at FL330, then step-climbed to FL370 (I was actually at FL365 to avoid crashing, since we were about one mile from each other and lag can have the best of you then!).We had LATLON waypoints, as there are no airways connecting Hawaii and Japan in a straight line. Approaching the middle of the flight, as Jaco was ahead of me, it happened before with him. I was surprised when he (with failures DISABLED) told me over the chat window he had just lost his PFD and ND (I believe the proper term for PFD is EADI, correct?). We started troubleshooting his plane, him by checking the systems, me by crosschecking mine and seeing if his configuration was any different than mine, when it also happened to me.Both of us were, of course, on autopilot. LNAV and VNAV were selected and remained selected, both by the indications on the switches as the green indications on the EADI. The horizon (orange and blue) had disappeared, and on top of the aircraft symbol we had amber ATT warnings.The ND display was the same, with no route displayed, only the range vertical grey line, and the word TRK in amber. All systems were normal, no warnings on EICAS, and here we are, in the middle of an Pacific crossing, with the closest airport being not very close. Still had standby instruments, no panick, but it did start to get mighty lonely up there...It lasted about 2 to 3 minutes, and suddenly Jaco messaged he had gotten both back. A little after, I got both back. Trying to figure out what had just happened, I started thinking of everything that could have caused this, and noticed when it came back I was just over N26E180, and because everything else was absolutely normal, I had to deduce it had something to do with the longitude, passing over that 180

Hi Fabio,Yes, just a little more insight - I think it may have been an IRS issue, with the LON, as when your IRS hasn't initialised yet in the 767PIC (when following checklists from dark and cold), you don't have a proper EADI or HSI display (only limited information in amber text)Cheers!http://www.avsim.com/posky/images/banners/banner_jake.gif

As I recall, FS2002 has issues when crossing the international dateline. I KNOW it has issues when trying to fly over the poles.Sigh. Flight Simulator has been around in various forms for almost 20 years, and they still haven't made it so you can fly over the poles.Jon (KSEA)
