FlyByWire Simulations | A32NX | VNAV in Dev Version

[Watsi 2,578]

Hi there,

Our custom-built implementation of VNAV Version 1 is now on our Development version! Pilots now have vertical guidance in managed modes in all phases of flight alongside appropriate visual indicators on the ND and various available predictions in MCDU. We also added a quality of life pause at T/D feature.

While we do still have features for VNAV yet to come, a huge thanks is in order for a team-wide effort to finally bring this out of testing.

Vertical navigation for RNP approaches are still works in progress.

See full feature set and documentation here: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/vnav/

Happy Flying!

Yuge…

Thanks,

Definitely huge. YUGE as they'd say.

The "move fast and break things" nature of expiramental was a massive pain if all we wanted was VNAV.

 Not really interested as no real A320 pilot uses vnav for descent in the airbus but thx fbw for the contineuos support

V/S (VeeeeSpeeeed) is for n00bs'.

Flying both Fenix and FBW, what FBW team has done is truly remarkable to the flight sim community.

I don't think this is quite completely true, the quote I've gotten from pilots is that it doesn't work well, but I'm sure it's used a fair bit. I did however hear that intervention is quite frequent though.

BTW, VNAV is more than managed descent. It provides more accurate predictions and extra symbology on the ND.

That's what I was trying to work out what the difference is. I thought "VNAV" was already in the plane but anyway this step forward is very welcome to an already fabulous aircraft.

Much appreciated, the bar continues to be raised.
