Altitude Range Arc - aka The Banana

[Rhinozherous 90]

Hello!

I dont know if this was ever asked, but I wanted to know if you maybe think about adding an Altitude Range Arc option for the descent? Or if this is possible at all? Would be a nice comfort function for example for the Majestic Dash8, always nagged me that they dont have moddeled it 😛

Thank you!

Hi Klaus,

I'm already thinking about this but I need access to the autopilot settings of P3D and X-Plane. Have to see what is possible.

Created  a ticket #247.

Schönes Wochenende,

Alex

@albar965, hi there!

Is it possible to implement this with MSFS2020?

Sure. This will work for all simulators.

Hello, I am also excited about such a function. Do you already know when it will be released?

Best regards Günter

Glad you like it. Very useful feature IMO.

Some aircraft abuse the autopilot altitude and do not return a reasonable value like the X-Plane Rotate MD-80. Others do not have an altitude setting at all. In these cases simply ignore the value or switch it off.

Sorry, but I could not find it 🙄 (currently I'm flying on the FBW A20N)

Is it possible to show the feature (and ON/OFF slider or whatever) on a screenshot? Thank you in advance 🖐️

Enable it in menu "View" -> "Show selected altitude range". It should show the range based on the selected autopilot altitude (you can show this in the progress tab).

LNM depends on aircraft playing nicely with the autopilot altitude. I have some add-on aircraft which use the autopilot altitude variable their own way making this feature unusable.
