Hi all. I use AirReport lite, which is am android program that is free (well, the lite version) and that lets you see the RW METARS and TAFS for up to 5 stations decoded or raw on your mobile. Very useful. Also Ivap has got it's own acars system related to the IVAO network that lets you request a metar for your dep/arr airport.

Hi. A screenshot of the mcp when you level off and the speed keeps increasing would help. You can try a couple of things. 1. Make sure you select SPD on the mcp for the autothrottle 2. Make sure you do not have "ALWAYS" set in the "autothrottle override" option in the plane's setup on the FMS and are leaving the throttle levers above idle 3. Make sure the vertical mode selected is suitable for the use of autothrottle only (eg not VNAV, might be wrong here) 4. Try fly in full manual to understand better what should be happening and what actually happens and where it goes wrong? Hope it helps

Well there probably is another way but best way is to do the whole shutdown procedure and securing aircraft checklist and then save it. Alternatively if you consult the fs2crew documentation (which I'm sure you can access even if you're not a customer) it explains what the c&d state is.

Hi! Have you tried setting up manually a cold and dark state and overwriting the c&d save? That might help, that way you'd know if it's the panel state causing the problem or something else

So cunning you could stick a tail to it and call it a weasel!

Hi all! If you've got 1. A super cool video from the cockpit of a Blackadder Airlines Boeing 777 landing on St.helen island 2. A question regarding if the PMDG t7 will have an EFB 3. A question about the t7 being released on your birthday 4. A point regarding the left main tertiary backup manual steering secondary power muscle assisted emergency gear strut 5. A question about the b triple 7 weather radar 6. A query regarding the galley sandwich tray handle being animated 7. A note from a friend of your cousin's lover regarding the Baldrick's AIR Services proper way of programming a lunar approach on mars which is in contradiction with what stated by the brother in law of Robert Randazzo in the pub down the road a foggy Friday night of two years ago Please, PLEASE Post them here I'm getting a bit tired of wearing off my mouse scroll wheel through 40 posts before finding am interesting one X

Hi! Erratic z time it's a known issue I believe, search the forums, if I'm not mistaken is related to some not updated versions (maybe) The rest sounds like an OOM issue to me Hope it helps

Hi. Very practical answer not at all guaranteed operationally sound. Have you tried specifying the final fix to the airfield as a custom wp (eg bearing/dist to a nearby database wp) selecting the altitude as your MDA and your speed as your Vref+xx? It will prob work but as I've said it's prob not right. Operational wise

Ah ha! That must be it. Since cutback is on the take off page 2, which I select before entering the to speeds to imput the rwy wind I must have tried to activate it before selecting the v speeds! Thank you so much!

Hi all! I've been trying without success to use the cutback option in the FMC. When I get to the T/O ref page it allows me to select custom altitudes for other options (restore/cutback/reduction, etc.) but the option Cutback ON/OFF is unresponsive. By clicking on the corresponding LSK nothing happens. I thought it was a conflict with the altitudes I selected and tried to change them around with no success. Is it something else? maybe thrust reduction interfering? Can anybody point me in the right direction? Cheers,

Hi all! Reposting here due to (surprisingly) no responses on the general forum. Could anybody explain the difference between cutback and reduction altitude and how it affects their role in the NGX it's not very clear to me atm Thank you!

Hi all! Could anybody explain the difference between cutback and reduction altitude? it's not very clear atm Thank you!

Hemm don't want to seem cynical but what exactly is the point of this discussion?

Yeah hopefully something's coming up in the new year, would be interesting if ORBX took up the challenge too. Rounhay is such a beautiful part of Leeds, looking at possibly moving round there. I am in the town centre ATM, full of drunks but convinient Going back to the original post, anybody aware of challenging approaches/airports in the UK for the NGX? I've flown around Scotland and the scottish isles not long ago but with the J41.

So fairies can actually fly!! (friendly joke) Always thought pigeon racing was actually more of a Lancashire thing... I'm from Turin (Italy) originally and flown so much to Stansted! You took your PPL there?

It's so common! EGNM is the highest airport in England and sits at the base of a huge extent of hills that are the Yorkshire Dales, huge enough to make sure wind has got enough momentum when it reaches Leeds Bradford airport. Unfortunately it just lacks a decent scenery. Some freeware available but still a good payware is needed. More over the wind is often a crosswind so keeps it an interesting home airport!

Aye, nearly got my hat blown off on my way to work just now. Was just thinking, this'd be fun to fly in! Where about Leeds mate?

Ever wondered how the NGX will perform on a 6000ft rwy with wind VRB 24G35 kn? Come land in Leeds uk and find out! I certainly hope it holds till my next day off work lol

Good ol' monty python! They never fail!

Hi all! Bit of national pride here, but you find me another turboprop that cuises at FL390 at 400Kt THEN you can say it's not a Ferrari of the skyes lol!

Ok, does this mean there is no way to imput the fpa in the mcp?

Yup but what about if it's not a straight in landing but I'm still required a prescribed fpa (eg am offset approach?

It does thanks, very well explained. That's all clear now thank you! Anybody else got an idea about the first question?

Hi all! I know you can display the FPA of choice on the HGS via its control panel and that you can select the required FPA in the DEP/ARR page of the MCP if no specific approach is selected for a rwy but I was just wondering, is there a way to select it via the MCP as an alternative to VS? Also, can somebody more knowledgeable than me explain the difference in between a slope expressed in º and as a % and how to convert it? Thankyou!

Ok problem solved. After half a day of troubleshooting and ripping piece by piece the FSUIPC cofig comes out it was a corrupted script in the Joystick calibration section. Thank you anyway!
