October 20, 200223 yr I just LOVE!!!!!!! the altitude and speed trendlines in the ERJ PFD. For me , they suddenly make flying jets EASY!! Before this aircraft, I was always way behind the action in jets when flying with no autothrottle. I have never seen them before on any other panel-- are they unique to the real life ERJ or just the ERJ panel by Bill Grabowski.?
October 20, 200223 yr >I have never seen >them before on any other panel-- are they unique to the real >life ERJ or just the ERJ panel by Bill Grabowski.? If we are thinking about the same thing, it's not unique - most modern jets have the speed trend vectors (I believe that's what they're called?), like the 747-400, 767, or 777, and I think the Airbuses too.Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing
October 20, 200223 yr I think Barry's point is that other FS aircraft don't implement trend lines. I really this aircraft too!
October 20, 200223 yr >I think Barry's point is that other FS aircraft don't >implement trend lines. >Well, if you have 767PIC and use the Pegasus style EADI then there are speed-trend lines and they are implemented. In the regular EADI there are no trend lines in real life any you won't find them in the PIC either. I can't speak for other products but I believe any professionally-done panel add-on for FS must implement trend lines if they exist in real life otherwise the quality of such addon is questionable.Michael J.

October 20, 200223 yr The upcoming Flight1's Meridian PFD will feature Speed Trend Vector (5 seconds ahead speed). Screenshots available here: http://www.simforums.com/forums/display_to...&PagePosition=1This is indeed very comon in Airliners cockpits, unusual and well suited in the GA Meridian.
October 20, 200223 yr >are they unique to the real >life ERJ or just the ERJ panel by Bill Grabowski.? Barry,Think for a moment. Would Bill "invent" trend lines to make your flying easier or would he rather try to recreate the panel with the outmost realism ? Which one do you think it is ? ;-)Michael J. Michael J.
October 20, 200223 yr Are there trend line on Meggit displays ? Certainly the pictures above do not show any trend lines for speed or altitude - this vertical white bar is nothing else than VSI. Or am I missing something ?Michael J. Michael J.
October 21, 200223 yr Actually the Meggit Avionics does have a trend vector. The screenshot does not depict it because the speed might be steady (the trend vector is derived from the instantaneous acceleration, to compute a 5 seconds ahead - usualy- speed). Thus, a constant speed leads to a null acceleration vector.Hope this helps!

You have not correctly interpreted what I am trying to say !! :)Question 1 -- are they unique to the real life ERJ ? - The answer appears to be NO -- they are used in other jet a/c.Question 2 -- are they unique to Bills' Panel? - The jury is still out on this one - although one poster has said that they exist in the 767PIC a/c panel -- are there any other panels with this implemented?I don't believe there was a third question with any kind of implication that Bills' panel has not been created with the utmost realism.-- maybe I should have added the word "only " after the first part of the question.How are you going to answer this question? - is the pushback gauge unique to the ERJ or just the ERJ panel? Please don't answer and tell me that Bill included an unreal gauge in the panel -- Shock horror!!Barry
October 21, 200223 yr Barry, yes, simple answer, there are quite a few with speed trend vector lines implemented. Off the top of my head, the PSS Airbus, 744 and 777 all have them, as does the DF734 (in a rather fetching shade of green). I'm sure there are others if someone can be bothered to do the research. They are a standard glass-cockpit feature.AndyEGTR

Andy . -- I really must get my questions EXACT!!!! :)Thanks for your reply -- but I meant any "freeware" panels with this implemented other than the ERJ!! :(
