hi everyone

 

is there any chance to have more realistic autopilot engegement in the 777 then the ngx? because when you switch the a/p mode from LNAV to heading sel mode or even in flight on route turns, the aircraft turns suddenly. it is like having an acne on madonnas face, looks soo bad

You should keep the heading select knob in tune with the actual aircraft heading. If you do that the aircraft should not turn when you select HDG SEL.

I think the sim AP activates the same way as the real life AP. I don't think they can get any more realistic.

thare are some products that have a cool ap turns, and check this video at 1:13 you can see how does the aircraft react to when u select headning then change mode..

 

I call PEBKAC on this one.

Exactly, this is how I see it done all the times I have - it's a reason why crew keep their heading synced at all times. What do you expect it to do if it's not synced ha!

Yep.

Well I do agree with keeping the heading select knob lined up with actual heading (I do it myself, the MD-11 did spoil me in this regard though) however going by that video example of a real NG, the NGX does respond much more harsh if I tried that in the sim.

I watched the video and I am not sure I see a difference in what the ngx does compared to that video.. You are aware you can also change the bank angle the AP with use to complete the turn right? I am about to do a flight in a few minutes and I will check it out.

it isn't a requirement to have the current heading on HDG SEL window prior to selecting HDG SEL, pilots constantly align the HDG SEL with current heading so if LNAV disconnect they can continue on HDG SEL without having to select current heading first and then select HDG SEL. Then they reselect LNAV when LNAV problem has been resolved. Is true that the ngx turn aggressively when HDG SEL is selected with another heading than the current one. So cagrikartal request is valid.

actually i tested it in a FFS in a training center, i was totally right and i noticed that fliying the real one is quite easier than the ngx when fliying manually but anyway ngx is great to train your self for a real training.

I wish I had the privilege of hopping in a FFS just to turn an aircraft, pretty sure the majority of us do. :rolleyes:

I made some very detailed videos of AP engagement with the FD bars un-centered in a real 777 FFS - we'll get this right. Just keep in mind that all Boeing aircraft aren't the same AFDS - there's very visible differences in this behavior between models - the 777 has Boeing's most advanced AP aside from the 787. The 737 stuff is quite old by comparison and I did not observe it being as smooth as the 777 is.

You wanna' know why Ryan? Because the 777 is a bawsss. B)

im not comparing the 737 vs 777 but the ngxs auto pilot is quite agressive comparing to a real 737. ive tested it in a 737 in ffs too. but what im saying is that im afraid we ll have the same quality of a/p in the 777 aswell.

and looking forward to see your videos

and mary christmas to everyone....

I've flown both the 777 and NG level d sims myself. The 777 AP felt smoother to me. I didn't see anything in the NG that was ridiculously off from the NGX - it's perhaps a bit too aggressive in pitch at times, but I thought it was very close.
