my favorite party trick was using P/P.

What was that one ?

It was a track created by the pilot to be flown in LNAV. If you wanted to fly a 239 track, go to LEGS, type P/P239 and drop it on L1. It’d create a track line that’d be 239 degrees out to infinity, along with a discon on the legs page. It came in handy. 

Ah !, so like present position 239. I've never seen that, does that work in the modern Boeing FMC or was that from something older ?

Let me back to HS 787-9 😀

I did a flight from Bangkok to Seol yesterday. Initial FL was 390. Then I reached S/C point (automatic FL change is not simulated) I put new FL 410 in the alt window and push the knob. Plane started to climb and VNAV PATH became VNAV SPD. After reaching 410 SPD changed back to PATH automatically and new FL was automatically updated at VNAV FMC page. TOD was recalculated accordingly. Not bad at all!

AFAIK it was only on the 747, we used the NG software. It worked on the -8 software as well. I tried it on the 75 & 76, but it didn't work. And the 73 NG doesn't have the function either. I'd imagine on the 787 it wouldn't work, because it wouldn't be necessary. You guys have TRK mode directly on the MCP, which is very nice.

Patch is out

Great news !

Thanks for posting..

cheers 😉

I’m still noticing when I flare that the nose does this thing where it has a very subtle bounce to it. It doesn’t feel smooth like other aircraft. Difficult to explain, but rather challenging when trying to flare the plane.

[Systems] v0.2.3 = what's new?

Anyone having issues with ILS not behaving correctly????  I have also noticed the subtle nose bounce....much better than before but still something weird going on.

ILS seemed fine to me when I tested it at EGCC this evening

Just in case it has an effect, please note their simbrief profile was updated with the new version and make sure to not use the msfs weight and payload menu (use the fmc payload manager).

Started a first flight a couple off minutes with the V. 1.01 and was surprised at takeoff.

All simbrief planning ect,ect.

The plane rotate at desired rotate speed and kept a beautiful pitch his own until i pushed the AP so the climb to my 39000 feet with LNAV/VNAV was just beautiful and now lets see how the landing gets.. ( at another 3h of flight i will report back )

So seems the takeoff phase of the plane is so mutch better than before and looks as yet as a very good update to me - just my two cents, good work from the horizon guys so far ! 👍

cheers 😉

 

OK, completed my 4h 30m flight and everything just went beautiful, fine capturing the ILS another superb landing with this bird, so in short words perfect in my opinion.

The only thing still exist ( what boders me, that´s why i was on there discord with V.1.0 and they told they fix it for the next Version ) is that the catering truck sets far behind the back door for catering, so still wrong and the same as with V.1.0..

Just to report back my findings !

cheers 😉
