Chris 🙂 Well, as far as I can be concerned, I can say I am enjoying this 773, pretty much... I am yet to be able to test some tricky RNAV approaches to see how the new LNAV and RF implementations go... I hope to get satiosfied with it... Will see... As far as the C*u implementation is concerned, I can say I like it. The A/T though surges sometimes in a rather abrupt way, and I have seen the autoflight system bringing the speed dangerously into the barber pole on a couple of occasions, but I couldn't reproduce it afterwards... Could have been due to weather (?)

It would not be the first time that PMDG changed direction. Porting features over to the 737 might not be as easy as simply copying the code over and I can’t believe that PMDG will invest heavilly into another developpment cycle for the 737. That will not make them any money. Most likely they will have to make the 737 compatible with 2024 anyway somewhere down the road and we will have to pay an upgrade price to get the 2024 version’s 737s including the promised backported 777 features. But knowing PMDG’s track record that is probably not going to happen anytime soon. After all it took them more than a year to developp a simple three page tablet. I guess they will bring the new LNAV and navdata to the 737MAX next, which is said to arrive between the 777 variants. Everything else will be a big disappointment. I'm not sure when it will be backported to 737NG, though. cheers, NiIs U.AMD 5800X3D | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHz | RTX 4070 12GB @ 1920x1050px
July 7, 20241 yr I spent some time this morning testing LNAV with MADEIRA RNAV (AR) Z 05 and also a couple at Kathmandu, and the 777 performed beautifully ! There are, as I mentioned before, a few circumstances, not related to LNAV I guess, under which the autoflight system brings speed very close to the barber pole, close enough to trigger the aural alerts. Then I have only one quirk, which may well be a problem with me not knowing how to correctly perform the operation - refueling through the AUTO GROUND OPS... AUTO GROUND OPS work ok as far as all other services go, but fuel never gets loaded 😕 Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
