Guysany news about the addition of a GPS .....The Trimble ( DA) would help a good :(

Regarding the autothrottle...

The autothrottle adjusts the throttles to obtain and maintain a safe flying speed as calculated by the speed command system. The No. 2 speed command system must be in approach mode to permit autothrottle engagement. Based on the speed command signal, the servo drive moves the throttles to achieve computed speed. At touchdown the autothrottle is automatically disconnected by the spoiler actuator. The servo drive is connected via a clutch which means that an autothrottle command can be overridden by a manual input. There are no maximum thrust limit switches, and autothrottle must be monitored to prevent over boosting the engines. Autothrottle operation is restricted to the approach phase. When engaged, it will maintain the minimum speeds as given in the speed booklet, providing the calculated aircraft weight is correct. This system is rather "clumsy" and since speed control in a DC9 is not a problem, the system was almost never used.

Hey GuysThat Bird is really good but its still have a lot of bugs.I sent a mail to [email protected]and this was the answerHi: The bugs are on the way to be fixed, we expect to release the service pack the next week. Best RegardsSkySimulations Support Teamwe have to wait until the release of the first sp1 and see if it really fix all the bugs. :(

I certainly hope the things people have reported are addressed, but even in its present state, I think it is pretty good actually. You certainly cannot grumble at the FPS it gets.Al

Their service/support e-mail was quick to reply and very receptive from the reply that I got.We'll see how they do here with SP1. :)

I got the same reception when I inquired about an issue with the MD-11. Sure it is not 100% system accuracy but as long as the quality is good and the basics are there, it is a fun enjoyable product

Hello people,Sorry to push back this topic to the top, but anyone have any news about the patch??? Thanks!

Before buying i am waiting on positive messages about patch too. I do not want to be a betatester :-)

To be fair to SS, the issues are fairly minimal and don't really prevent you from enjoying the thing. I checked the SS website the other day and there was no news of a patch then, but I'm sure it will show up at some point. I don't feel the urgent desire for a patch, I've been flying it a lot with no problems at all really.Al

Thanks for the explanation, Al.

Yes, me too Al. Just asking because someone in the forum told sometime ago that it would be released in a week or so .... So, i just asked. Not complaining at all.

Complain away, it might speed them up a bit LOL I'd take 'in a week or so' with a pinch of salt where computer software is concerned, as you probably know.Al
