OscarI think you can access certain navaids through AFCAD. It's a little gizmo that makes it possible to change AI parking and taxying and runways etc, etc. They are coded in the .bgl files (I think).Haven't used it so I'm afraid I can't help you further.Cheers,

The ESSA02.bgl file contains the scenery that adds runways 1R/19L. Strangely though, if you go to the menubar and press World/Go To Airport/ and enter ESSA in the Airport ID box, the new runway does not show up in the Runway/Starting Position box in the lower-left corner. I guess its an omission by the scenery designers.There are tools out there that could disassemble .bgl files but this thread has now veered way off the original topic.

>There are tools out there that could disassemble .bgl files >but this thread has now veered way off the original topic. Like I said, AFCAD. :-roll If the runway is in AFCAD, it's on the map.Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

AFCAD cannot change the scenery information. All AFCAD does is change the facilities information; that is, the files in the ScenedbAFDFiles folder.To change hardcoded scenery information you need a tool like BGL Analyze or EasyNavs 2000.

"All AFCAD does is change the facilities information"... which is exactly what you need to do if you want a new startup position in the airport list. (BTW, there are AFCAD files available for the Swedflight scenery, both from the developers - but those files aren't very well done - and third party that are better.)But as you said, this thread has veered way off topic.Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

"You are at 5000 ft, MCP ALT is set to 3000 ft. You now engage V/S and select a climb of 2000 fpm. The plane will climb until it stalls, as it is climbing away from the MCP ALT."When selecting V/S as a climb mode, the airplane will climb regardless of the selected set MCP alt {if set below current alt} window and the airplane will continue to climb untill another mode is chosen. Boeing suggests that you always set the MCP before climbing using V/S or FL CH. If you pay close attention to your SPEED, stalling would not be a problem. Plus one would just hit ALT HOLD to stop the climb. Best Wishes,Randy J.

"When selecting V/S as a climb mode, the airplane will climb regardless of the selected set MCP alt"Well that really depends on your situation. If you are already in a climb, then yes, V/S will maintain your current rate of climb. If MCP Alt is above your current altitude, you will sometime level off.Same applies for a descent."If you pay close attention to your SPEED, stalling would not be a problem."In a perfect world, yes :-)But this is just another stress factor, and can be totally avoided by FLCH. Also, SHOULD the pilots forget to monitor this, and the plane would stall, you could have a very tough situation to cope with! (Low terrain clearance, very high stabilizer nose up trim, speed flying away etc. So again, just use FLCH in a climb :-)Haven't heard of any airline that recommends or even says V/S is suitable for climb on the 767. 737's are different in that regard, as SOME do have speed protections in V/S mode. From what I've heard, it depends on the FMC version.Regards,Mark

The solution is simple and not far away .... Disconnect the A/P passing through FL100. Reset target altitude to 1000FT, keep VNAV and LNAV engaged to provide guidance. Engage LOC mode right before turn to final, then APP when on the localiser. Follow the F/D and you'll be just fine.Much more fun to actually FLY the aircraft rather than sitting watching the auto-johnny get all the fun.PSI had the same problem with the aircraft tracking left of centerline on approach when under autopilot control. Gave it up long time ago. Handflying the beast is so much more rewarding. And if you crash a few times before you get it right; no problem, just try again until you get it right.

Yupp that would work...in a non ATC environmentThe second you get vectored around (read: 99% of the time at busy airports) this technique will not work.
