March 30, 20215 yr I will further tune everything down the road. I also noticed on some videos now that in the moment of touchdown for some the rudder input etc is a bit sharp. It seems I tested too much in EDDS due to the sloped runway (which is really a challenge to get right), but there it constantly looses the LOC, so it just aligns heading to LOC heading but no correction for deviation from LOC. As said, will be step by step over the next weeks/month to further improve it… Edited March 30, 20215 yr by AGuther

Hope you don't have to turn in your license! 😅

March 30, 20215 yr Sorry for not reviewing this entire thread, but does anyone know off the top of their head if this version supports VNAV on a RNAV approach?

It does not. They need to be able to get the entire en route weather before VNAV can be properly calculated, IIRC. RNAV is a WIP. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
March 30, 20215 yr Just now, WestAir said: It does not. They need to be able to get the entire en route weather before VNAV can be properly calculated, IIRC. RNAV is a WIP. I think I'm confused. What's the difference between VNAV and RNAV? I think I mistakenly assumed you need VNAV to do an RNAV approach, but I guess that's not true? A320 Sim Pilot has a video on doing RNAV approaches in the Dev version of the A320NX back in Dec. How is he doing that without VNAV?

How is this RNAV approach working? Is this working in the dev version and not the experimental version? Edited March 30, 20215 yr by Virtual-Chris

He's such a great streamer isn't he? In any case, I was wrong. He's using the default AP (which is what the Dev version uses), which I didn't know supported RNAV. Sorry!

How is he doing that without VNAV? VNAV stands for Vertical Navigation. It's how a aircraft flies vertically. In the Bus LNAV (Lateral Navigation) and VNAV are combined in to NAV. LNAV/VNAV/NAV are modes that a aircraft flies in RNAV stands for Area Navigation. It's a way of navigating around the world. For your purposes here, you're talking about a RNAV Approach. It's just a type of approach that most aircraft can fly. Edited March 30, 20215 yr by Jeff Nielsen Jeff D.

March 30, 20215 yr Just noticed that EXPED climb is implemented. The aircraft started climbing like a rocket ship with speed dropping rapidly. Button tooltip still shows (Inop.) but PFD announces EXP CLB. Intel Core i5-12600k, Nvidia RTX 4070 Super, 128 Gigs.

As per my post above, the developer version supports it, so I'm guessing the experimental version would as well, but want to double-check before I botch another approach 😄 Edited March 30, 20215 yr by Virtual-Chris

No version of the FBW officially supports VNAV/NAV (the mode used to fly a coupled RNAV APPR). They're still working on it. Bottom line is that it might fly it and it might not. Try some approaches and see how it goes. Jeff D.
