FMS Winds and LDG Press

Featured Replies

First of all, amazing work! It's so good to be back in the MD-80!! The plane and addon I missed most from the MSFS days. Finally got my first flight up and running and noticed 2 things

1) When I input winds into the FMS I noticed that the ETA and Fuel figures don't change. Are wind calculations not modeled?

2) On the Pressurization panel, for the LDG Alt, I see that the scale is labeled as IN HG, yet the values are MBs?

And one more thing. Anyone notice that the LSKs don't line up with their respective lines on the FMC in the VC. They are perfect in the 2D popular, but just a tad off in the VC. 

Not trying to sound like a whiner, just trying to offer some things I notice to improve the sim!

Thanks. I've added this to be looked at. To be honest, it's something I meant to do and never go to check.

Known, but thanks!

This is actually accurate for the eye position of the Captain and F/O.  You might notice the same thing looking at the Aileron and Rudder Trim positions.  But thanks!

Thanks again, your input is very valuable and appreciated!

Best wishes!
