July 4, 20241 yr I did not get a welcome email but Have a support ticket open. Where is the documentation? Trying to use the autopilot for alt hdg and it will not engage. This is without a FMC flightplan loaded. Chris Chiozza
July 4, 20241 yr Discord is mess, does anyone know if I do not load a plan in the FMC is the autopilot usable? I cannot get it to engage all I get when engaging is red annunciator and "autopilot"? No HDG ALT VS? Chris Chiozza

That's not correct. I can type in the text entry fields in VR just fine. The problem comes if I don't then click somewhere that is not a text entry field - having a field "active" freezes the yoke and rudder pedals. Not sure if that's a VR-only problem or not.

So to clarify, when you select an input box on the EFB, a virtual keyboard pops up in VR allowing you to type? I read on their discord from a user that there was no virtual keyboard.

July 4, 20241 yr Oh, virtual, no. I just type with the keyboard. I misread that as you couldn't type at all in VR, apologies. Ryzen 7 7800X3D/B650 X AX | 5090 | 32gig | Win10 | Pimax Crystal Light

We are not talking about an inertia difference (which does not exist in physics) but a speed difference. Going from -1000 to 1000 means the exact same acceleration as going from 0 to 2000 or 8000 to 10000. It simply means changing speed relatively by 2000. Speed change per time unit is acceleration. 7 hours ago, espent said: Thats like putting a tanker ship going at 1kts into revers and expecting it to immediately start going backwards. Due to masses and forces of ships, they will never accelerate/deccelerate at 1G. The ship will slow down with as follows: decceleration = breaking force/mass.

Are you saying that a C172 and a MD-11 can change direction equally fast? I see your argument, but I don't see how that is the case. Mass must be a factor here. // 5800X3D // RTX 3090 // 64GB RAM // HP REVERB G2 //

Not like the A300 which on 4x still burns fuel like it was on 1x… For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
