I have a gift card at Simmarket I am thinking of using for this. Do product updates hit all stores at the same time?

Most stores are pretty quick with updates. The one exception is the MS Marketplace, where even minor updates can take 500 years or more to arrive

In the BAE/AVRO RJ comparison doc there was mentioned a feature called AVNAV (Advisory VNAV). I did not notice any sign on the PFD or MFD that looked like an adisory path indicator at or after crossing the Top of descent.
 

Maybe my eyes aren t good any more or I forgot to configurate something.

Can any of you fellow pilots give a helpful hint?

Certainly gives you TOD info on the Progress page - can't remember if it's on the ND. There is also advisory (presumably a path) indicator that you can have on for RNAV approaches (INDEX / APPROACH) - although I haven't used it yet so can't say more. Funnily enough though it actually gives you less VNAV information than the 146 - you have to work out your rate of descent yourself, and monitor as you descend .. ..

Thanks very much - so it is the RNV Approach supported by V/S Autopilot. I will try that and fly London City to Jersey - excellent!

Dear Santa,

You know what needs to be done.

Love,

True love Chris?

While the jist of it is correct.
the author is using IAS as reference to required vertical speed (should be groundspeed) and seems to be late to initiate descent at the FAF.

One trick you can use is to engage V/S  at 0.2-03NM prior to arriving at the FAF, in order to hit the intended profile. This allows for response time for the AP.

Just released today, Nov 29 2024

We’re aiming to release the v1.1 update for 2020 tomorrow. As usual, there’ll be a delay before the Marketplace version is processed and release, and it seems that might be longer than usual at the moment due to the 2024 release.

Here’s the latest change log:

Overhauled cockpit lighting using colour samples from new reference material and added “bounce lighting” on panels

Adjusted amber annunciator colours using colour samples from new reference material

Reworked cockpit display dimmer logic: PFD/ND can now be set brighter, LCD displays around the cockpit are now controlled by respective dimmer switches (previously they were automatically adjusted based on ambient lighting conditions)

Added automatic dimming logic to BRAKE TEMP indicator (based on ambient lighting)

Fixed GSX boarding at a gate with a jetway would not connect the jetway

Fixed GSX causing brakes to overheat during a raised pushback

GSX and default tugs can now rotate the nose gear during pushback

Increased deboarding simulation speed (doesn’t affect GSX deboarding)

Fixed issue where triggering boarding caused refuelling to revert to pending, or vice versa

Fixed GND SERVICE switch logic in galley

Fixed multiple Cabin Calls cannot be made without first cancelling the call

Improved GND CALL logic, GSX and default pushback tug connections will now trigger the GND CALL annunciator

Fixed automatic dimming on PED LEDs reversed (LEDs are now bright during the day and dim at night)

PED fuel quantity, N2 and EGT indications are now powered by the battery 1 busbar when the FUEL QTY button is pressed with no other power source available.

Fixed ENG VIBN caption does not trigger MWS alert

Improved EFIS Control Panel and Transponder button response logic

Fixed EFB settings not saving between flights (Auto Cabin Crew, Cabin Announcements, etc)

Fixed “Confirm Aircraft State” message not appearing if a sub-menu is open on the EFB Aircraft page

Corrected RJ85 Blue1 Livery registration in aircraft.cfg (now OH-SAO)

Various other minor livery fixes

Fixed ND: “LOC” text overlapping “LNAV” text during FLT ANNUNS Test

Fixed GNLU: STORED FLIGHT PLAN page displaying 1/0 pages when no flight plans were available.

Fixed GNLU: Arrival transition issue where the incorrect transition was being selected.

Added GNLU: WEIGHT UNITS option to GNLU MENU page (can now toggle between KG, LBS, or sync it with the EFB weights)

Fixed APU TGT logic being affected by pausing the simulator

Tweaked approach callouts trigger logic, now:
- Airspeed below 250 KIAS, below 6000ft AGL, vertical speed less than -500ft/min
or
- Airspeed below 250 KIAS, below 6000ft AGL, and localiser alive, localiser captured, glideslope alive, glideslope captured, or seats for landing calls have been triggered

Fixed EXT AC PWR AVAILABLE not illuminating without DC EMER/DC ESS buses powered

Improved AC/DC meter needle animations

APU or EXT AC volts and frequency now drop momentarily when an engine starter relay comes on

Flight director bars now remain locked to 7.5deg pitch and 0deg roll during taxi

Default elevator keyboard assignments are now supported

ELEVATOR TRIM AXIS control assignment is now supported

AUTOPILOT NAV1 HOLD control assignment now toggles the LNAV autopilot mode button, TOGGLE GPS DRIVES NAV1 control assignment now toggles the VOR LOC autopilot mode button

Autothrottle lock option now covers all throttle keyboard control assignments

TRP TOGA REDU flex temperature logic improvements

Added glass to weather radar display

Runway exit lights are now inhibited in the air

Added tooltips to the IRS MSU alignment knobs to show seconds left until alignment

Fixed reversed MCP VERT SPEED selector animation

ENG A-ICE caption no longer illuminates with only continuous ignition switched on

Tweaked yellow and green brake system accumulator pressurisation rates to better match real aircraft values (AC pump pressurisation is now quicker and DC pump pressurisation slower)

FUEL LO PRESS captions on MWP are no longer illuminated when the relevant fuel pumps are switched on

Fuel tank LO PRESS captions will now illuminate briefly as the valves change position

Updated MCP speed selector window flags logic so they are triggered by current rather than selected airspeed

RT/INT audio selector panel switches changed to three-position spring-loaded switches

Fixed thrust lever stop markings texture issues

Ready for take-off state changes:
- Continuous ignition (CONT IGN) is now switched off
- Cabin air is set to RECIRC
- Left ND data is set to WIND, right ND data is set to GSPD

Increased main altimeter decision height bug setting precision

Fixed APU fire test not triggering MWS chime

Improved ENTRY lights logic - two-way logic now simulated

Improved oxygen system functionality - PAX OXY OUT annunciator will now illuminate on the DROP OUT OVRD pushbuttons (left/right side consoles) whenever the passenger oxygen masks have been deployed, automatically or manually.

Fixed various MSFS Interactive Checklist and Paper Checklist typos

MCP mode button annunciator brightness can now be controlled by the FLT ANNUNS BRT/DIM switch

Improved overhead annunciator test logic

Fixed missing elevator trim wheel motor sound

Improved flap baulk logic

Increased APU fuel burn to more accurate values

Fixed PED indicating incorrect air supply logic during unpressurised approach

Reworked TRP FLEX calculations for greater accuracy

Updated default navdata to AIRAC 2401

Added ILS identifiers to navdata - Allows for ILS identifiers to be inputted on the GNLU’s FIX INFO page

Added ‘Knob Acceleration’ option on EFB Configuration Menu - Toggles on/off the knob acceleration on MCP ALT/CRS/HDG knobs, altimeter bugs and COMM radio knobs

It's already on Simmarket as well. That was fast.
