March 28, 20224 yr I have been unable to get this plane to capture an ILS signal. I put in the proper freq, descend to Glideslope altitude, then change the CDI source to VLOC. Then, I select APPR which gives me the LOC and GS annunciators. But it never captures. Anyone have any ideas about this? https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file

March 28, 20224 yr Okay, thanks guys. It's weird they would release this without that basic function... https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file

However, I would, at a bare minimum, want at least some FD guidance to hand fly the approach. https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file

It is in an open beta/ early access state, as stated on their website.

Anyone have any ideas about this? My experience has been different - I've had it capture and follow an ILS path and glideslope and also same for an RNAV approach, using the GTN750 version. I don't know if that makes a difference, but it might be helpful to know what version you were flying. "That's what" - She

I tried removing marks from the texture maps, and the completely overdone marks (look like hand prints) remain. This completely kills the immersion for me and I hope they have it on the highest priority to fix.

I didn't notice them on my first flight or two but flying in bright clouds with the sun behind you, they really show up. The wide coverage area makes me think it's some kind of splotchy mold problem within the cabin. Hopefully the reference airplane isn't like this. "That's what" - She

Mine is not functioning. Which GTN750 are you using. Thanks.

March 28, 20224 yr Just saw the email that FSW sent out today talking about current status and such. I wont paste it here but the salient points are that the autopilot is getting attention and is not considered finished, and an update is expected later this week. Response has been better than expected which has led to thousands of users providing feedback as opposed to the expected hundreds, so the author is a bit overwhelmed at the moment but updates will be coming. He also suggests we don't start modding things ourselves yet because of the pending changes. I know this is difficult to stop yourself from doing (I made tweaks to the camera.cfg file myself yesterday but set it all up as a community folder add on first so as to not have the changes overwritten by future updates). All in all I think it was a good message and appreciate FSW keeping us informed. The author is obviously busy working away on things judging from some repeated paragraphs in the email which I presume are just cut and paste errors caused by his haste to get a message out.
