Time Compression on the Fritz & PFPX

Featured Replies

Hello PMDG 777 Pilots,

 

I have two issues, almost completely unrelated, but I didn't want to waste forum space with two separate topics. So anyway, here goes... Issue one is the more important one in my opinion. The issue is in regards to auto time compression. I appreciate the feature a lot, and having recently solved the issue of 4x< loading, I would like to solve this last one. Simply put the aircraft never seems to want to speed up, or when it does it's only for a couple of seconds. As I write this my T7 is flying over the Indian Ocean, in a straight line for tens/hundreds of miles, with no AI, minimal weather from the looks of it, and it's not speeding up whatsoever. Not even to 2x. And it hasn't for the duration of the flight. I understand that the aircraft doesn't want to "lose control", however I manually changed to 16x speed, with no issue at all, until the upcoming turn at which I realize the time compression should be off. Is there a way to increase the tolerance of "unstable conditions" in the sim? 

 

My second issue is only that I have heard that PFPX can export winds aloft data to the T7, and I'm not quite sure how, or if it can yet.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

 

Sincerely,

 

-Derek

Yes and no.  In the software, no.  Getting a different system that can handle it better would help, but that's mostly cost-prohibitive I'm assuming.  It's probably user error of some form, to be honest.

Same exact spot you export your route information.
