Level-D such a shame

[simba_nl 34]

Have Level-D for FSX since 2007 but started recently flying with it since my new SB system build can handle it and switched to 100% FSXAfter happy years Level-D 767 VA flying in FS9 I encounterd serious problems with the FSX version.Looking in the Level-D forums for solutions gives me another look and feel about the Level-D support and the fact that Level-D was a king in the old FS9 days but since FSX becomes the joker.I have a problem with bounching 767 after filling the FMC and specially the Cost Index. This one is starting the bounch and even while flying the plane goes nuts.Also the SID/STARS went away or only half so using VNAV is also impossible...I saw a very longggggg topic about it started in 2007 and in summer 2009 the moderator answer was, The team is very busy now with the 757 but after that there will be a fix, Case Closed and topic closed.What the heck, It is now 2 years later and there is no progression for solving that annoying bug????? and we have to wait until the 757 is ready....Level-D, scrap me from your fan list and iFly, go ahead with your 737 for FSX very rapidly and I will make the step-over. Already have the FS9 version with lots of pleasure but as I said, I stepped over 100% to FSX now.Happy landings...

Zero problems with LDS 767 here. Best and most reliable plane in the FS world at the moment. It's also FPS friendly.

What do you mean by "bounching"?

[Silverbird 115]

Theres a new BETA TEST: Acceleration engine & FMC data dump gauge to fix those problems which most reports from users say its working fine now. there was also the winglet update recenelty I dont see how you can hate the lds767 so much.

I have zero problems with the LDS767. None at all. It's as much fun to fly as in FS9, and with the new beta patch that silverbird mentioned, the final two annoyances have also been eliminated.

It's ironic you mentioned this... I just installed my FSX version yesterday, updated the navdata with Navigraph, no issues! I can actually enjoy it now with the 2500K.

The only thing that bugs me about the LDS is you can't use the fmc in the vc, it has to be a 2d panel.

I have never had a problem with LVLD 767. however other parts of fsx may affect it like FSUIPC, have you updated this? this fixed some issued I had with PMDG 747, and CS 757.

As long as you don't fill the FMC it is working, yes, Please fill your FMC and fill in the cost index (you have to otherwise you can't fly VNAV

[FlavioSSA 44]

Zero problems here too.

Zero problems here too.

Same here.Works great.

Hi,I enter all (optional as well as required) info into the FMC, including the cost index on "EVERY FLIGHT". She is an absolute beauty to fly, she is one of the best system/sub system aircraft ever made for FSX and I spend 99.9% of my flight sim time using the level-d 767.

I think that he's referring to these items mentioned. http://www.leveldsim...celeration-bugsAs you see, the workaround is from Feb 2011, so the solution for the users being affected came somewhere after this date while the problems itself came up with the use of the Acceleration Pack of FSX, in late 2007/early 2008 or so. Since quite some guys had that problem and were rejected somehow (look at the timespan), I can understand some emotions there. But "hate" is a bit too much, you are right. And starting a rant doesn't help in any way of course.The funny thing in that special thread is this 'sorry, can't tell you about it, you have to buy first' mentality though. I mean, he just wanted to know about the present problems, not about the "buy support" solutions.The bug description in the free forums is a bit vague (and maybe outdated, since a fix is available), so questions may come up if a customer is in the decision process.

note that there are several 767 systems "anomalies" or "bugs" that are present in the FSX-XPACK (Acceleration). No timeline for a fix is available. If you are willing to live with the 767-XPACK workarounds... Install the 767-SP2a.

By the way, what about that 757? I must admit, I haven't used the LD 767 for ages, not bug related though.

I have the LDS 767, in fact that is all I fly. I have NO problems, with any phase of flight. I have heard about problems loading data into the FMS manually. I know there have been topics on the LDS forum, I really suggest you go there: http://www.leveldsim.com/sevensix_home.aspI use FSBuild to plan a flight and then have FSB convert my plan into LDS FMS plan, so when I call the flight up all the data is loaded, works perfect. I am using FSX and have all the latest builds for FSX and LDS.Bob JohnsonDTW

Agree with everyone on the great attributes of the L/D B763. What do you all use for fuel calculations for a flight?Thanks, Bruce.
