Bob -- Mark sent an email to the FMS coder along with a few pictures to show him the FMS HSI CDI problem.

Bob,

I went back and fired up P3Dv5 again, downloaded the latest FMS version 1.5, and I also still see that bug, so I assume it did not get fixed, don't know why not. I'll let Mark know. Unfortunately the FMS was coded by a contractor so it may be a challenge to get this fixed quickly at this point in time.

Is it an FMS issue, though?  Clearly the FMS is producing the correct data, as the Arc mode has to use the same data for its CDI, and it's display is correct.  I think the problem is a sign issue in the HSI gauge itself.

Well, the ARC display and HSI display seem to agree in VLOC. And the "glass" HSI was written by the same guy who wrote the FMS code, so I think the ball is in his court.

We have an update coming soon as we are in testing phase now. Here is a list of the updates.

• The TO on the nav page causes waypoints to stack onto the same location.
• When selected 'DTO' the FR is sometimes incorrect (it should be (PPOS));
• VNAV page and enter waypoint and desired altitude plane turns back to prev waypoint.
• CDI is reversed. So the CDI should be left when you are right of the track and right when you are left of the track
• Unable to select Power/Dim menu options (fuel page 2, FPL List Page, Fuel Options)
• Fuel page - Elapsed time not working
• Fuel Options Pax Weight doesn't match fuel (weight) page when in Kgs
• NAV > MNVR > HOLDING DEFN page, unable to scroll through the waypoints using the NEXT/PREV buttons.
• PPOS TO WPT page isn't currently measuring the distance and time from the aircraft to each waypoint.
• Fuel Options - Pax Weight doesn't carry over to fuel (weight) page
• Perf Page - Fuel onboard at dest show higher about than Fuel onboard now. Same for endurance at dest
• Perf page NM/LB label overlaps FF values
• FPL Page unable to enter Oceanic Waypoint as Coordinates (ex 6630N )
• Wpt page from FPL page (return LSK R5 does not work )
• Fuel Options Only Displays KG

The FMS update that addresses the above list of issues is now available from the FSW store, and should be available in a few days or so from other stores.

That's great, thanks!

Hi, one question, how can I enter a Manual waypoint to My approach ? ( I mean coordinates)

Thank You in advance
