Yeah, but same acf, no bounce

(bad take off though, need to fix the VR viewpoints and the last of the voice commands are a must)

I know. And I can toggle it w/ a dir name change. Where do I look from here? Bug report on a 3rd party? They don't like that, per se.

if you have a recreate they are fine, I dont have a way to recreate it...

kill the _pref file

Output/preferences/Freeflight.prf. Something w/ load/balance of a previous start that causes the bouncing and is being recalled on startup. Renaming the acf dir forces a fresh start because it isn't saved in the .prf.

2nd XP12 flight test about to complete, new throttle stuff seems to be working well, voice command stuff is pretty handy, approach and glideslope AP still need work, think next weekend I'll give the new ND stuff for XP12 some loving

so, the plan is to ask everyone to "retest everything" soon, likely next weekend, with a view to getting an idea what the current state is, I'll probably use XP12 time this coming week to flight test before that. 

Dont have any known flight critical issues now, started moving on to ironing out things like:

 

edging ever closer

 

There's a freighter model now? Color me interested!

 

What about VNAV and the autothrottle PID controllers for anything but the default PW (or GE?) engines?

done, although the altitudes used by VNAV still need some work, and last flight test I spotted a weird switch to SPD mode during takeoff.

currently WIP by v on the discord, coming along nicely and well liked.

Out of curiosity, how have you programmed descents? 

- The classic way, in idle or...

- the NG way using off idle?

There are a few threads about it, and the NG manual is free from the Aerowinx site, but a recent thread is certainly interesting to read...

NG FMC Descent Profile (aerowinx.com)

well, the true key to that question is how it calculates top of descent, which is a much more complicated question to answer than it sounds, because its not even clear which altitude to calculate ToD for - e.g. the one entered in the FMC, the altitude you are at now, the altitude you will be at when you hit the descent profile..right now, iirc it begins descent 400 feet above the expected idle descent path.

what I found is end of the day, the profile itself isnt hugely important, because it will need widely different thrust/drag doing the same flight over and over due to a whole range of other factors, like wind speed/direction & pressure changes,  exactly how accurately you recreate the flight or what version of the VS flight directors you are using.

👍👍👍

latest version and double checked and my gear is not bound to multiple device just my Honeycomb Bravo Quad.  What is causing this?
