FBW MCDU Question

Recommended Posts

I am on the latest experimental version and noticed on the last handful of flights that the STAR info in the MCDU has some odd altitudes.  It will show the restrictions (for example, cross XYZ at 10000) but they don't 100% match the STAR.  The next few restrictions will show 8000, then maybe 6000, but the next waypoint in the STAR might show FL350, then 5000, then FL350.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Is this an FBW thing, MSFS, or Nav data?

As a side note, i've been climbing and descending via open climb and V/S.  Have there been any improvements to managed climb and descent?  Managed usually had me at like 4000 fpm and that isn't realistic.

Because the managed vertical mode is not working it just loads the constraints from the database but doesn't calculate the predictions for waypoints between the constraints.

With managed climb I can't say I have noticed an issue although if it is lightly loaded I would expect a high rate of climb . With descent, again, there is no management of the vertical profile so it pitches to maintain the required speed with idle thrust at the moment.

That's how I interpret the current behaviour.
