A known bug, to get around the issue change the units to feet and you will get sensible landing distances and no errors (or the other way around, not at my PC right now). Its a bug in the metric/imperial units settings.

I cannot for the life of me get the terrain overlay working. Yep, I installed the terrain file from the downloader and ran the exe to setup as per the synaptic website. Everytime I open FS2024 I get a "writing to the exe" popup that just sits there in the background and never goes away. I go in to the sim, make sure I select terrain overlay on the ND map and nothing ever appears. Spent a couple of hours trying to troubleshoot. The terrain module app entry appears in the exe.xml when I open the XML file to check. With the correct path, but that is as far as it goes. Its also annoying to have the dialog box "writing to the exe" constantly opening when booting the sim!

and here we go... she is out on the marketplace.

A couple of quick questions, is IAN supported? Secondly, has anyone got reversers to work with the thrustmaster Boeing throttle quadrant. My reverse gets stuck and refuses to disengage and then bounces the throttles all over the place. I am using the thrustmaster quadrant settings as the profile (as in downloaded the thrustmaster control settings from the marketplace for the Boeing kit and selected in control config) Just tested against the PMDG 737 and 777 and no problem with these TCA default config settings. Many thanks! Jane thank you Andrew, really appreciated!

apologies, wrong thread - great age!

Thank you that really helps! For some reason, the SI video demonstrating the CPDLC setup showed the departure clearance on the DCDU. It really confused me so thank you for clarifying, I appreciate it.

I only just tried it today, noticing compatibility was on the latest update. Still trying, no success.

Hey All, I am setting up the A346 for CPDLC (V 1.02 of the aircraft). All connections seem fine. I logon to the ATC station. I get my pre-departure clearance. However, it only goes to text in the MCDU. The DCDU panel doesn't get updated at all. It just constantly displays which ATC I am logged on to. I have tried many things, but there is no way I can get ATC messages to the DCDU - Again, they all appear fine in the received msgs area of the ATSU on the MCDU. My departure clearance pops up just fine in the MCDU, but the DCDU remains blank, apart from displaying the station (EGCC) that I am logged onto. I double checked all was working well at the Sayintentions side of things and connected quite happily with the Fenix and Inibuilds on the same flight and all worked as expected with the DCDU happily displaying messages. EDIT: I followed the Sayintentions setup and demo video released yesterday, which seemed to show the DCDU working... Any ideas would be appreciated? thank you! Jane

For some reason and it may just be me. I always find the A350 cockpit much more cluttered than the 777, so in the real aircraft I have always felt more comfortable in the 777. It may be a me thing, but all the glass in the A350 and the sheer volume of keyboards, keypads and buttons makes the A350 seem overfilled and somehow less spacious. On the 777 by comparison, there is actually some nice clean fascia between all the displays and a much more less cluttered pedestal. So feeling less wall to wall crammed, the 777 has always felt much more spacious to me. This coming from someone who is a software dev in my day job and has no less than six monitors around me in my workspace as I type! S

Is anyone noticing EFB preferences not saving? It is resetting each flight for me, including having to re-enter my Simbrief ID. Wondering if it is some permissions thing (My FS2024 is installed to the default MS store install path). The EFB really needs some work in terms of the UI, I feel. It catches me out that pressing buttons on the EFB often has no sense of pressing them with any sort of button animation too. (maybe I am picky as I work with UI teams all day long in my day job in the games industry where it is a really big deal, with focus groups just for UI feedback)

Thank you! that really helped! I appreciate it (I notice it refers to x-plane in that chapter which needs a quick edit)

My rapid review from 4 flights (I do miss working at PC Pilot mag 😉 ) Visuals = ok but will not set the world on fire. Cockpit lighting lacking a bit too. Systems = fabulous FM = not flown a real A340 but very stable and convincing. Nice feeling of the weight and inertia. Goes where you expect it when handflying down the g/s so a real joy Jane

I took the plunge and bought it. Website was ok, but Aerosoft 1 is falling over trying to log in. (changed my password just to make sure and confirmed at the store). It just ignores the login request and tells me I am not logged in... Will try again this evening when things calm down.

it genuinely makes me a bit dizzy sometimes!

Hey All, The Just Flight 146 now flies in 2024. A 2024 version is also available in everyone's account for previous purchasers at no charge. I have been looking forward to this, really loving the original steam gauge 146 over the more modern RJ. Thanks JF, been looking forward to the compatibility, Jane

my Winwing MCDU just froze again moments ago, latest patch installed and latest WingWing simapp version too.., just a short test from Manchester to Heathrow, and it froze midway.

same here Ray, if its a Microsoft fix though we may be waiting until the start of the business day in west coast USA. Asobo will be halfway through their work day now, but this likely may well not be for them to fix but a Microsoft issue.

the first flight sim project I worked on for Microprose back in my young programmer days, we shipped on cassette tape. The primary fix then was a pencil to spool the tape back in as it invariably disgorged in to the cassette player :))

I just get stuck at the loading language - 0% and that is as far as it gets...

Thank you for the info appreciated. I think I will live with the freeze for now as climbing under my desk, pulling the PC out to reach to the back to get to my USB ports does not sound appealing 😉

a couple of weird bugs since the update with the A340. the hardware MCDU suddenly freezes on a page and stops all updates (although buttons still work as can be seen from the rendered in-cockpit MCDU). The managed altitude dot stays on in cruise on the WinWing FCU (whilst it rightly disengages in the cockpit rendered FCU). Reinstall has not helped. all the best Jane

handling is massively different. The team have done an outstanding job. There has clearly been a ton of work in so many areas. I have done a few short flights around the UK. Taxi feels completely different and much more convincing. I also don't get the slewing effect I used to have braking in taxi. Rock steady. Much more stable in turns and just generally less slippery. The taxiways are not icy anymore 😉 I have found the takeoff roll to be significantly more stable and I didn't have to fight as hard in a crosswind to maintain the centreline. Same on landing, braking and centreline tracking was much less of a fight and it felt that I was much more in control of the aircraft. Flare logic was the one big change I was looking forward to and I was not disappointed. Taking a bit of getting used to. Will take a few days to change my habits, but the float seems to have gone away. Previously I either hit the ground like a brick or floated like a feather. Now I actually land the thing 🙂 I am already spotting quite a few nuanced changes in systems and a few changes in MCDU logic and expect I will find more. All in all I am both grateful to the team and impressed. That flare logic was the huge one for me, so thank you Fenix team! Jane

Agree, I just wanted to check I had not broken anything. As a games dev by trade, I tend to break everything I touch 🙂 So thought it was me 🙂

thank you Jude, it worked by default for me with the previous version out of the box, so not sure what has happened there.
