What's the EGCC referring to then? 59 minutes ago, tull said: obviously you know your stuff It's just trivial things, I know nothing about this aircraft but I'm familiar with those little tricks with that particular HUD symbology. As pilots flying the same aircraft type all the time we soon discover these little tricks and cheats in the instrumentation to make our lives easier. The trouble is once you're aware of them their omission in a sim aircraft tends to jump out at you, where as 99% of users wouldn't even be aware of them. For example in icing conditions on the ground the 747-400 requires a 30 second static run up at 60% N1 before take off. Putting the commanded thrust marker on the vertical N1 tapes opposite the NAI memo on the upper EICAS engine display will give you ... exactly 60%, it allows you to quickly select the desired thrust without fumbling around. These little tricks have obviously been put in by the avionics designers deliberately but they're not usually documented, they're almost like Easter eggs ! While test flying the original PMDG QOTS ver 1 747 they reprogramed the upper EICAS as I flagged up it didn't have the above behaviour, I remember R.R sent an email to the development and testing group saying it wasn't nit-picking and these were just the sort of things real pilots look for and so were important. It's this sort of attention to the tiny details that makes the difference between the mass market add ons and something really special like I believe we are seeing here with the CL650. 787 captain.

January 16, 20224 yr Yes you’re right Jon, it is all in the detail for sure and that’s what makes the aircraft shine I guess…another interesting detailed post! Regarding EGCC I am originally from Manchester and I’ve flown out of Ringway airport many times (as a passenger) so that’s why I put EGCC 😃 Also had many a flight lessons at Barton coming into land over the M62 in a Cessna!! That was fun ha! Regards Paul EGCC
January 23, 20224 yr Hot Start released update 1.1.0 and added several new features next to squashing some bugs as well. The list is quite extensive. Make sure to do a thorough pre-flight check 😉 Hot Start Challenger 650 Update 1.1.0

February 9, 20224 yr Hehe, Alexander 🙂 I have really no idea why the mod deleted my comment or your quote of it, it was just a bit of a joke in the spirit of the original https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/thats-what-she-said ...probably misunderstood it for critique of the poster I quoted? Oh well, it wasn't important, and I guess humor does not always transfer true in the written word, only. Cheers, Jan Edited February 9, 20224 yr by Janov

February 16, 20224 yr Do you need rudder pedals to operate this? the TBM is impossible to steer on the ground without a set of pedals due to the way its coded. Most planes if not using a set of rudder pedals the rudder is auto coordinated to the yoke. A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
