Indeed scares away customers. And it's might be more efficient to requiere registration just for posting, but not viewing since issues like this is present.

 

Piracy can't be fought, it's just a waste of time and hackers will always find their way around it. It's just a matter of time. They do have their own support forums as well, but so far only in Russian.

There are two sets of forums at Milviz; one for the general public, the other for registered customers.

 

Support is only offered in the registered owner's support forums.

 

It is also critical to note that there are two completely separate autopilots available; the SP177 with FMS, and the SP77 which is the older and more "primitive."

 

A configuration utility allows the customer to choose which system to use for each installed livery.

Bill, I am not sure I understand what you mean by "'it is critical to note " :smile: ? One is working and the other not ? 

 

Let's put it simply. Is non-LNAV navigation possible, using only the A/P with VOR, NDB and DME  (no FMS) ? For instance, can I fly this simple SID with the Milviz 732 that I've just flown with the QW Bae 146, switching on the AP on the WAY NDB  255°  to let it catch the AS VOR 219° (no wobbling) ? 

 

What about the same with the FMS including catching  AYE NDB 263° ?

Did you encounter any particular annoying bug?

I don't own the CS 737, but I did look into it during their last 9.99 EUR sale. I understand that the PDCS has a bug where if you aren't slow and methodical when typing on it, it will crash the sim.

 

It should be noted that CS is due to come out with a service pack soon to fix at least some of the problems, but I'm not sure what kind of playing field that would put it in compared to Milviz's offering. I'd suspect the Milviz will still be more feature-rich, though I don't have it.

Radials do, after all, work. My bad.

milviz anytime...

Sorry - Ignore, question already answered

If the Milviz one didn't exist I would have recommended the CS one as I don't think it's that bad ....but the Milviz one is MUCH better, hands down.

Bill, I am not sure I understand what you mean by "'it is critical to note " :smile: ? One is working and the other not ? 

Honestly, this isn't the right venue to discuss this in too much detail. There are two autopilots from which to choose. I'm working on the SP77 myself, and have been finding and fixing stuff as it's reported. At the moment it is doing what it is designed to do.

 

What makes using it more challenging is simply that it is so much more primitive than even the default Bendix-King dual axis autopilot. On the other hand, it's Control Wheel Steering functions make it a marvelous adjunct to hand flying.

 

What I can say with absolute certainty is that any problems that may possibly still exist won't be ignored, or blown off, and it won't take years for any resolution... :Whistle:

We're not Razbam.  We do fix our stuff, if we can.

Blimey, huge apologies for that. I'd just been looking at their Corsair, which I've installed in P3Dv2, and the name must have stuck in my head. How embarrassing.

 

Milviz...its Milviz !

I prefer the CS737 due to better Vc graphics. I really dont care for an FMC either since there is no EHSI. I cant tell if I'm on course or not. At least using the CS732 and the RealityXP GPS, I can tell if Im on course. I also prefer the older 77 AP. lot a fun to use once your familiar with it. Im sure the Milz is very good also though. Just my preference.

If you need an EHSI to tell whether you're on course or not, you seriously need to revise your flying skills.

 

P.S, I don't mean to be harsh, it's just unusual to rely on modern systems on classic airliners. The feeling of knowing how to navigate, and doing it, is one of the strongest aspects of the simulation. I do not know what retrofits do on western airplanes, however, on Russian planes with retrofitted FMCs. GPSs, your Horizontal Situation Indicator (PNP) is your main instrument to keep on track.

People who couldn't fly a "pure IFR" airliner should revise their IFR skills...

 

They call them "children of the magenta line". Happens with real world pilots too by the way, not only sim-pilots.

Although, I am trying to learn the complex systems of tube liners and IFR flight it is a struggle but as a real world VFR glider pilot which is very much all hand flying I can tell you some aircraft in FSX or P3D to me feel right, i.e. handle in a manor that feels consistent with what I would expect a real airplane to do! Its all subjective but I can tell you the Milviz 737 does have the feel of a real bird with your hands on the yoke and feet on the rudder peddles. Its a total blast to fly in FSX. I think it still needs work in P3DV2 but I know that is a work in progress. Its not just the Milviz 737 their Sabre has this awesome feels right factor to it too. Can't comment on systems don't know enough. But I can tell you I have flown old 18m wing span metal gliders and that's almost 2/3 of the wingspan of a 737-200 and what can I say It feel right to my flying experience. I cannot say the same for most Aircraft in FSX. Can't comment on the CS737 but none of the CS aircraft I have really stand out in my memory as feeling right. That's why I never fly them. Personally, Once I tried the majestic Q-400 I was astonished that the Milviz 737-200 didn't make as big a splash. The Majestic Q-400 which despite the critical acclaim feels hokey to me. Hand flying the NGX has that same believable feel. Hand flying both of them you have the sense that on some level its the same airplane. Disclaimer: Don't want to start a war the above is all subjective opinion :lol:

 

On other thing when you are sitting in the captains set on the runway and you open the throttle up all the way you can almost feel your back pressing into the seat its so immersive :lol:

I've flown gliders too, I wouldn't necessarily compare them with a 73, but yeah I agree with you in that Milviz's bird feels very realistic.
