I hadn’t heard winds programmed in the FMC could mess with this, so that’s a possibility. I’m totally willing to believe it’s me and not the plane, but I can’t really come up with a reason why you’d program an autopilot mode this way (either simulated or real). If you’re above the path, you want your engines at idle as your starting point in a VNAV mode, at least classically. I’d genuinely be curious to hear thinking on why you wouldn’t want them at idle in this scenario. Maybe I don’t understand the 787 autopilot or am otherwise missing something. In any case, the result for me flying this plane was always that once I was above the path it was almost impossible to get back on it without building in extra track miles or switching to a different autopilot mode. Not at all the case in any other simulated Boeing I’ve flown, even the slippery ones. Generally, putting engines into high idle is done to reduce the engine spool-up time...it's common to see this measure applied in automated acft when configured with high-drag devices. It's done as a safety measure in case the pilot were to need to quickly add power (wind shear, engine failure, uncommanded thrust reverser deployment, or maybe just got too slow on the approach). The difference in acceleration time from flight idle as compared to high idle in a high-bypass turbofan can be an agonizing...and critical...long time to get the power up when you need it.

Regards Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Certainly I’ve seen that high idle behavior for example with landing flaps set in the 777. I do still wonder whether it’s true to the real 787 that deploying just spoilers in descent should lead to such a high idle, though. James
October 6, 20196 yr Load agent not working properly for QFA9 YMML to YPPH. Back to doing it the old way. Running i5-9600K @ 4.8ghz - 32GB DDR4 3200mhz - GTX 3070.
October 6, 20196 yr Has anyone gotten the QW Load Agent to work. I will load up a route and execute and then go to the LoadAgent like I saw in the video. It would load half the cargo and no fuel or it would load all the cargo and no fuel. For now I'm using the old method also. I'm seeing more reports on this and wonder if it actually worked for anyone.

I saw on their form yesterday were one of the developers told somebody to re-download it because of that issue I believe as they made an adjustment to fix an issue with the load agent. Eric
October 6, 20196 yr I did my first flight ever with this plane yesterday and everything worked pretty well. Very happy with the software. The only thing I noticed was in turns it slowed from M.85 to M.842 and then went back to M.85. Eric

A question for everyone having issues with the update; I thought I read in the QW update notes that the update was so extensive that required you to uninstall and then reinstall from scratch. I haven't but haven't had a chance to fly it yet. Wondering if this step would help people? Daniel

I should have stated that I have ran as admin, uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, deleted old QW folders and even went as far as to clean out my registry.

October 8, 20196 yr Figures. I've got so many end of season projects to do around the house it'll be a miracle if I can fly it before November. 😉 I've been looking forward to the -10 since I bought the plane. This is excellent. Ryzen 7 7800X3D/B650 X AX | 5090 | 32gig | Win10 | Pimax Crystal Light
October 8, 20196 yr It looks like this update requires a full reinstall.
