That was a pleasure to watch, pity about A/T at the end. Don.t understand what happened there. Though he did tell us it was not a bug, but something he did wrong.

You take a mortal man, you put him in control, watch him become a god,....watch peoples heads a.roll!!!!

 

Do Al-Qaeda (the base) have prayer mats...or their own agenda?

I know what he did wrong, apparently some folks seem to misunderstand the auto throttle system in thinking it ALWAYS retards thrust to idle during landing. The truth is it only does so when you're on an ILS approach specifically tracking the glide slope, so because he got high on the approach ,didn't intercept the glide slope, the afds didn't go into the full ILS mode hence why the auto throttle didn't go to idle and remained in speed mode. Try it out in the NG, you'll get the same result.

Yup, well said. He could have also disengage the FD to disconnect the auto-throttle in that situation.

Exactly, he should have disengaged the A/T arm switch before touchdown!!

Thanks

The whole flight was very educational. Loved it.  I am glad he did it.  He was the first person that I know of to demonstrate the accelerated rate feature in a video.  16X was surprisingly smooth. Thanks Frogglepete.

All in all i certainly did appreciate what he did though only wish i caught it from the beginning, im hoping someone managed to record the whole thing and will upload it to youtube so i can watch it again! ^_^

I think this is it? http://www.twitch.tv/frooglepete/b/445803564

That stream was great, thanks Froogle for putting it out there live, nice job! Thanks Jorge for the notice!

 

...and, way to go PMDG on the acceleration you coded up, very neat feature.

My pleasure sharing the info with you guys, thought most of you would enjoy it.

 

All the screenshots and videos the beta team have been putting out have really made the wait much more bearable (along with some time in the full motion NG and 777 sim hahah ;) ).

 

I think the bounce might have been what caused the AT to engage TOGA, although from my understanding it won't go to IDLE automatically unless your doing a LAND3 app with the AP. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Will have to check that out if I get into the sim before the PMDG comes out hahah.
