    Tomas,Since the VC click spot is specifically mentioned in the part of the manual (Ch. 13) that lists the DIFFERENCES between the F and PAX, I would guess that it's a feature only available in the F version.Cheers,S

    >Hi Ton.... In all the tutorials I have read, none suggest arming the >A/T prior to ending the preflight setup in the FMC...... If anyone >has any guidance I am all ears.>I am a bit confused about this as well, in particular as the checklists that I have show the exact opposite, i.e. A/T ARM just before the runway. Ton,Which "RW procedures" were you referring to?S

    JTH (your real name?)Page 7-16 of the manual has a well-written section called "Setting/Displaying Minimums".... It explains in detail how to operate the relevant systems.The appropriate values for different approaches are generally derived for the airport approach charts, although other factors also influence the final value

    Christian,Looks like your fine observation made it into the -F release! Well done to you and the PMDG crew!Quote below is from the pinned post at the top of the forum:22) Adjusted EEC/ADC barometric pressure feed to prevent pilot barometric adjustment within MSFS from impacting FMS computation of takeoff performance.

    >And then it goes on saying:>>The FMC commanded speed is in magenta. Below CAS/Mach>transition altitude, CAS is magenta and Mach is white. Above>CAS/Mach transition altitude, Mach is magenta and CAS is>white.>>So this would mean both values are displayed leading me to>believe you can change them both ie CAS/Mach entry.>Sjaako,You're right, I didn't cut'n'paste the last bits, but they are indeed as you described above. That being said, the Cathay video (which I don't have) definitely does not correlate with the information from my Continental Manual.I'll see if I can find some stuff on airliners.net Found this one: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0238090/L/Difficult to read but it seems that the captain is on ACT ECON CLB and there are indeed 2 values indicated, I guess its magenta CAS and white Mach in this case. Let us know after Friday.Cheers,S

    Interestingly, the 777 manual that I have access to (see below) clearly shows that user inputs to VNAV CLB or DES pages are limited to either CAS or Mach - not both. On the CLB page either CAS or Mach is shown (on LSK L2), but on the DES page both values are shown.It seems that the diplay of either CAS or Mach on the CLB page is governed by an entry in the airline policy file, so I wonder if the whole issue could be airline option dependent?Anyway, below are extracts from the relevant parts of the manual-------------------------------------------------------------------VNAV CLB pagePage TitleThe page title shows the type of climb.

    I have flown with adjusted values since a few days after release - mine are not exactly the same as Adam's and I have also changed the first section, but there is no doubt that a little experimentation will bring immediate benefits.For me, both LOC intercept and G/S capture are smooth and I have seen no ill effects so far.Highly recommended, but I'm sure that the patch will make things even better.
