February 25, 200323 yr Hi there! I use Swedflights ESSA scenery aswell. The problem occours only when flying PIC so it might be those lines that ar incorrect. How come they work at your place?My ESSA lines look like this:Arlanda ESSA01 10830008 59.637193 17.913391109.9000800121Arlanda ESSA08 08202073 59.658241 17.936134109.5507300121Arlanda ESSA26 08202253 59.664064 17.979157110.1025300121Arlanda ESSA19 10830188 59.666449 17.923600110.7018800121Hmm strange, my file shows heading 008 for runway, how come? Have I missed a NAV download or what?Should it work if I change that to 007??Thanks for helping buddy!Edit: Now I have installed the latest AIRAC cycle again. Now my wpNavAPT.txt is updated aswell, it wasn't before! The "last modified" date was 2000 something, can't understand why. I'm going to try a flight now!
February 25, 200323 yr Just to be sure we're on the same page:(1) Did you get the NavData from http://www.navdata.at/(2) Was it an executable file and did you assign it to the correct installation path?(3) Is it for the 0302 cycle?(4)What is the date of your wpNavAPT.txt file? Mine is dated 2/11/2003.These are my ESSA entries:Arlanda ESSA01R08227007 59.626178 17.950978000.0000000124Arlanda ESSA01L10830007 59.637256 17.913225109.9000700124Arlanda ESSA19L08227187 59.648328 17.958869000.0000000124Arlanda ESSA08 08202074 59.658419 17.936133109.5507400124Arlanda ESSA26 08202254 59.663897 17.979153110.1025400124Arlanda ESSA19R10830187 59.666403 17.923767110.7018700124
February 25, 200323 yr Yes now my wpNavAPT looks just like yours. I was at Richard Stephans nav data page and the file I downloaded was named 767PIC_all_0302.zip. I installed it properly and the wpNavAPT is now dated 2/11/2003, it wasn't before.Ok this time the autoland took me down all the way but made a small turn just before hitting the ground, I managed to keep the aircraft on the runway though. Don't know if it was better than before or not... One thing I noticed though was that the LOC indicator wasn't centered at any time, it was a little to the right all the time, but the AP did nothing to correct it. Anyway, I landed on the runway this time which is good! Don't know if there is anything mor to do about it!?
February 25, 200323 yr Ok, I will practice practice practice... I guess I will nail em' finaly! Thanks! :)
February 25, 200323 yr My point though, is that there is a difference between the 767 PIC NavData and the FS2002 data. If I go to Map View in FS2002 and look up Arlanda, I see the following.Ideally you want the data to be the same. It doesn't matter to me since I don't do full autolands but you might want to experiment and see if it works.
February 25, 200323 yr Commercial Member I don't know if it was said above but I'll just type it anyway :-kewlUse FLCH whenever LNAV is not engaged. VNAV without LNAV guidance will cause a lot of problems. Also, use FLCH on LNAV when no existing altitude restrictions have to be paid attention to. Using VNAV could stop your descent somewhere causing some hectic movements!Also, some airlines don't like to use neither FLCH nor VNAV on descent due to its "chasing" character. It's not smart enough to smoothly change attitude to wind/temperature differences and will sometimes do violent maneuvers to cath the target airspeed (in climbs its no problem). Those airlines then use V/S for descent. (Just don't use V/S for climbs as it offers no airspeed protections!)Regards,Mark Mark Foti Author of aviaworx - https://www.aviaworx.com
February 25, 200323 yr Hmmm ok!When I open that same window is see this:Runway Length Surface ILS ID ILS Freq. ILS Hdg.1L 10830 Concrete SSA 109.90 00819R 10830 Concrete NSA 110.70 1888 8202 Concrete WSA 109.55 07426 8202 Concrete ESA 110.10 2541R 8210 Concrete TSA 109.35 00819L 8210 Concrete USA 111.35 188Since the new runway (01R/19L) is there these values have to be modifiable in the AFCAD or something, don't you think? Or is that something that is changed when creating the scenery?My AFCAD knowlages aren't that big, where - if possible - do you change the runway properties? Heading for example...
February 25, 200323 yr Weird huh? I don't know why but it's always left of center even with no wind. Another friend of mine has the same problem. It's never center. Of course I have a million addon airfields but it happens at the default too.Best Wishes,Randy J.

February 25, 200323 yr Ok, hmmm ok, it doesn't center but does it land on the centerline or what? That's whats interesting... :)Is it somekind of bug in the PIC panel!
February 25, 200323 yr >(Just don't use V/S for climbs as it offers no airspeed protections!) Well, it doesn't offer any speed protection in descent either, does it?Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing
February 25, 200323 yr The info that shows up in the map view and airport selection list is editable in AFCAD. (In your case, the new runway has apparently been added and the runways have been renamed.)This applies only to the info displayed in the map view, airport list, and flightplanner, etc. (and of course it affects the way ATC refers to the runways, taxiways, and gates, and also the way the AI traffic acts). But it has no effect on the actual scenery. So the frequencies or headings displayed in the map view may not reflect the actual frequencies and headings in the sim.(You could even have an "airport" complete with runways, taxiways, parking spots, ATC, and AI traffic, without any actual scenery of the airport at all... ;-))Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing
February 25, 200323 yr Let's solve one problem at a time; especially since I'm not sure you understand what I'm saying.As I've been stressing, the CRS heading in PIC Navdata for runway 01L is 007 while it is 008 in FS2002. The 1 degree difference possibly means the aircraft is not lining up with the runway correctly so you can try changing the CRS heading in the wpNavAPT.txt file to 008 and see if it makes a difference.
February 26, 200323 yr Commercial Member No it doesn't. But the chances you'll stall (primary concern) is far less in a descent than in a climb. You could, however, overspeed the plane but the risk of that seem smaller to the airlines than having the plane chase the airspeed and makig it a tough ride for the passengers.Regards,Mark Mark Foti Author of aviaworx - https://www.aviaworx.com
February 26, 200323 yr Oscar, MANY airlines use FL CH for descents below 10000'.Best Wishes,Randy J. [email protected]" A little learning is a dangerous thing"AMD XP 2100 |MUNCHKIN 512 DDR RAM |ECS[/b ] K7S5A MB |[b]GF3 64 MEG |WIN XP PRO |MITSUBISHI DIAMOND PLUS 91 19" Randy J Smith
