For the FSS E175, I need the Lorby scripts for my MCP etc.

Sorry, don't use scripts for that.

The real problem is LNAV. Any pilot can fly fine without VNAV.

As in it doesn't follow lateral navigation? As in it doesn't follow waypoints from the FMS that input or from simbrief?

The plane I own from FSS follows lateral navigation just fine for me....

LNAV seems to work ok for me, subject to limitations from using the default FMS systems.  It's still a work and progress and (now) clearly labelled as so.

All in all it's certainly not as polished as other addons at this point, but is fun to fly from time to time, updates are pretty frequent.

Same here. They just made a few updates as well. They're holding more true to their promise.

Yeah, LNAV works just fine for me. Not sure where everyone is getting their information

I don't think you have an understanding of what developing Sharklets entail if you claim they can be done in a day or a week. It took FSL 2 years to release Sharklets. Clearly, if you want to do it right, it will take time.

This thread is not about your product but in another thread or maybe your own blog... I would love to be enlightened why the development of wingtip devices take 2 years to develop "right" when the whole entire airplane took 2-3 years.

For the record, I follow your airplane closely but I do not own it.  I'd like to someday but the reason I don't own it is because there are no IAE engines or sharklets. When it released I said "I'll get it in a few months when the IAE and sharklets come out."  

My point is that people are saying unkind things about FSS for no good reason, especially since all developers have issues.  As far as I am concerned FSS has been keeping up it's end of the bargain with regular updates and development. 

While your product is excellent it is not and has never been perfect despite how long it has taken to do it right. You have had FPS performance and flight characteristics issues and various updates to fix bugs, same with PMDG. I've watched all this from afar on various youtube channels, fselite, and your own website.  Keep doing what you're doing, you are earning high praise for your unwavering commitment to quality.

but...I mean come on man, you are commenting about a little blurb 7 pages into a thread that isn't even about your airplane.

I actually have seen one specific issue with LNAV.  Not CRJ type issues where it hunts after a turn but instead it's like the whole LNAV system just stops working.  I was coming into BMW Monterrey one time from SFO and at the SNS VOR the airplane started turning north again like it was in heading mode, but oddly once I got it back on track it went to the next waypoint and all subsequent waypoints.  I thought it was a fluke but it happened again on a Horizon flight from SEA to Boise.   Just before the final approach fix same thing starts turning to the north.  I sent a trouble ticket to FSS, but they didn't respond.  I haven't seen that behavior in v0.9.19 yet... yet... I'm about to do MIA to Key West, we will see how it goes.

His airplane is the Fenix and the comment he quoted was about the Fenix. And what does it matter if that comment is 1 page in or 20? Aamir likes to be transparent. Please don't convince him to change...

We have too many devs who stay silent because of comments like this.

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.

There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

The system is MSFS default (non-working-title) LNAV, literally unchanged from the default sim. You remember the beginnings of the A32X from FBW, when it didn‘t yet have custom LNAV and it was impossible to manually edit waypoints (especially at the approach) and it wasn‘t able to do any non-straight-in approach at all and when you tried to go direct-to it would sometimes just turn in circles or go back to a previous waypoint?
That‘s exactly the same you get with the FSS E-Jets, because it‘s exactly the same system from back then.

Now if that‘s okay for you, fine, but that‘s another question.

He didn‘t say it would take 2 years for the Fenix‘ sharklets. He was talking about FSL and you‘d have to ask them why it took them 2 years.

As for your question sharklets drastically change aerodynamic behaviour, so here‘s a couple of things they‘d have to get right / realistic when doing sharklets:

1) New fuel consumption, but differently different in different phases of the flight
2) New drag, again differently in different phases of flight
3) New flare behaviour, that‘s probably the hardest part, since the sharklet-flare is slightly different but different enough to make it quite hard to get it right.

Obviously all that matters only for a study-level product, other devs might just put the winglets onto the wings and sell it for a 20 dollar expansion.
Aproposito, I can only recommend you buy the Fenix sooner or later. The level of quality (visually, systems-wise etc.) is top notch and it‘s always a pleasure to use this product.

As I explained two posts above this one, that‘s the MSFS default LNAV behaviour which already happened back in 2020 with the A32X. Default LNAV can‘t handle STAR-to-approach transition, like at all, and will very often just shut down for good. That‘s probably why they haven‘t responded to your issue yet, because it‘s only solvable once/if they have their own custom LNAV; there‘s no way and/or point in trying to edit MSFS default LNAV.

I've had this issue in other planes as well but surprisingly not the FSS 175. It could be that my ATC program often vectors me towards the approach start etc. But even when I have it all connected from STAR to ILS waypoint it usually works for me.

I use Pilot2ATC and often choose the "vector" to the transition waypoint to ILS but sometimes I don't and only follow the waypoints because I am lazy (life, kid, hobbies). Sometimes I don't have time to use the ATC accurately. But the plane does follow lateral nav pretty well for me. If it bounces out of the waypoints it was usually my fault with something.

Don't feel bad, I'm just getting into simbrief plans after 20+ years of only using default in sim plans.

Ok I'm going to check out Pilot2ATC. Yea I think i mistakenly picked SID/STAR waypoints in simbrief in the E175.

The lines were there but I had to follow them manually during takeoff until they connected with my main waypoints.

Haha. It happens. P2ATC has navigraph and simbrief import now but you have to have the full program and download their public beta updates (which are awesome, by the way). It does not control AI-AIG/FSLTL traffic but does recognize them (traffic alerts etc). The program, along with navigraph really helps me with flight planning and in fact...I don't use little nav map any longer as a result.

Having to connect to them manually could be an issue. I will say that I do not have that problem since I use navigraph and the works. Hope this helps because the plane is still pretty fun to fly.

That's where I'm torn, I DO NOT WANT TO PAY A SUBSCRIPTION FOR ANYTHING GAMING RELATED IN 2023.

Meanwhile Pilot2ATC is tied to Navigraph which requires a subscription and the BeyondATC will be subscription based as well but it will have its own AI injection.

I see P2ATC has a Navdata Pro option, but I know it probably isn't halfway as good as Navigraph.
