Is there no option to activate pause at TOD ?

EDIT: nevermind, found it

In the EFB

SYSTEM page > SIM menu > PANEL style > MISCELLANEOUS > 4th option

Got it. Very nice with one (huge) showstopper - I can't taxi. Twisting my TCA joystick moves the tiller but the aircraft doesn't change direction. Vey annoying! 

Is there the AutoSave option?

There is an option to activate the tiller in EFB. Did you check that?

I see it now. What's the "heading" for the RF legs supposed to represent? I assume it is supposed to be equal to the heading of the next fix?

Good question. This exists in the standard Navigraph database format used by the PMDG 777 as well, and I take it to mean the same thing you do, but I really don't know.  It isn't really explained in the Navigraph docs.

Yeah, weird. It becomes even more confusing when there are two consecutive RF legs and the first one contains a heading.

Quick Q, why didn't you increase thrust to 100%+ N1 on the remaining engine to increase speed and eventually climb rate? It seemed a very sketchy departure while engine #2 was held around only 84% N1.

Good question.  It's because of how data is calculated for a reduced thrust takeoff.  Your V2 speed is calculated to provide your best single engine climb at the takeoff thrust setting while guaranteeing directional control both on the ground (during rotation, Vmcg) and in the air (Vmca).  If you increase thrust, you run the risk of a loss of directional control (basically, not having enough rudder authority to prevent the plane from rolling over).

Now there are two reductions taken on many takeoffs: a derate, and an assumed temperature reduction.  Takeoff data is calculated so that V2 guarantees Vmc protection for the full rated thrust for the selection chosen.  In the video, I did a 26k takeoff with an assumed temp reduction.  So I COULD have increased thrust on the good engine to full 26k but not beyond it, without risking a Vmca scenario.  In reality I probably would have, and there was plenty of rudder authority left in the iFly to do so. But based on how the data is calculated, I shouldn't have needed to increase power, so I figured I'd try worst case scenario and see how it worked out.  It worked about like I'd expect it to.  I think in reality there is a turn procedure off that runway that would have given me a little more clearance on those hills and antennas, but it was really late and I was too lazy to look it up at that point so I figured I'd try straight out 😉.  I really just wanted to see if it would be able to continue the takeoff at all, or if the failure even worked, and it was all good.

I did yes. Also played with the sensitivity slider and it made no difference. All the other controls work exactly as they do in every other aircraft, but my TCA Airbus joystick that I use for a tiller with my Honeycomb yoke moves the tiller inside the aircraft but I still just plow straight ahead.

Look at page 7 in this conversation and try to change a few items. With those, the tiller works well on my system.

I just tried, unfortunately it doesn't fetch simbrief data

I just discovered this. Previously I didn't compare it with the OFP. It does actually import the values from MSFS weight and balance menu. Sorry about the confusion!

Being a bit rusty on Boeing procedures, I've got some basic questions:

1. On the MCP, do we set the speed to V2 or e.g. V2+20?
2. When do we know that the aircraft is at the acceleration altitude? I guess this is when we increase the speed? 

Also, I just had to restart the sim, because the aircraft became unresponsive during cockpit preparation (EFB, FMC etc). Re-loading the flight didn't work. I then noticed that the iFly MAX8 Plugin is not is the system tray. Am I missing something?

1. You set V2 on the MCP. After takeoff, the FD pitch bar will then give you guidance for MCP speed + 20kts.

2. If you are in VNAV, the speed bug will move up and pitch guidance will lower to allow acceleration. If you are not using VNAV, it is up to you to remember at what altitude you need to increase the MCP speed to UP speed.

Next time this would happen do not restart the sim straight away.

Try ALT+TABBING out of MSFS.

Close the iFly plugin and make sure it is no longer present in the tray. 

Manually relaunch the plugin and go back to MSFS.

Thanks. Unfortunately that didn't work. The bug occurs at the same time: just after I finish the PERF INIT setup in the FMC. 

I've already done one flight though without any issues.
