I too have noticed this but more so with dawn & dusk shading even with no clouds, really dropping my frames, I had no drop with 4.3 or prior PTA. Thanks.

V- 4.4 has been released.

Yes sir, that is correct! Thanks Kyle.

Hey Kyle, yes I am, one I created.

Greetings, I am receiving an EFB system fault in the Cargo-8. Each time it powers up, I've done 3 flights so far, it says " EFB state not restored (Different Aircraft Model)". I then select acknowledge new faults but it keeps doing the same thing. I'm using the same aircraft each time. Thanks,

Gents, I just completed a test flight, I waited until both LAT & VERT deviation indicators were established with the ILS. Worked perfectly! Issue solved. Thanks again guys.

Yes sir that makes sense. I will definitely wait till both are active before arming & see what happens. Thanks for your help my friend!

Ok that makes sense, ill definitely make sure i get both deviation indicators & its stable before i select APP. Ill report back on the results. Thanks again for your help my friend!

Hey Dan, thanks for the info. So I'm guessing maybe there is something inherent to the -8 that it defaults to the LOC/GP instead of flying the ILS approach selected in the FMC?

Roger that Kyle, Sorry i didn't know where i should have posted so i did both.

Ok ill do that approach again this evening. I think you may be on to something with the GS but i don't recall this happening with the 400.. I had lateral LOC guidance, then when it captured, i armed APP right after, & i don't recall if the GS was active. I was using the default ATC in P3D for test flights.

Kyle, I always select LOC until its captured. So are you saying that I shouldn't arm approach immediately after the LOC is captured, & I should wait till the GS signal is displayed? I cant remember if the GS signal was on the PFD when I selected APP which I normally select right after the LOC is captured.

Hi Kyle, yes absolutely it displays LAND 3 & FAC is displayed as soon as the LAND 3 is engaged well, I did notice that the ACARS page 2 has Autoland=NO. I'm not sure if that has something to do with it. Also the ROLL & FLARE are in white during the approach when LAND 3 is engaged. Yes I use Ultimate Traffic Live & Active Sky.

Greetings, with the new -8. I've tried 2 Autolands, both with LAND 3 active. Right before the threshold, the plane veers off course. Both times this happened with no wind. The annunciator has FAC displayed, then when the veering occurs a line goes through the FAC letters on the PFD. I have the LOC to P3D option to ON. I selected the ILS approach to RWY-26 @ KPHX both times in the FMC. In the -400 Autoland worked perfectly. Is there a reason that the APP mode says FAC & the Autoland isn't working?? Thx

HI, ok that makes sense regarding the FAC. I do have the LOC course to P3D on. Is this FAC a feature of the -8? I was landing in KPHX-ILS-Rwy 26 both times, in the -400 Auotland worked perfectly.
