Aircraft turning in towards waypoints when very close

Hi Ray, there is a new beta 387c, would you check if your mentioned problem fixed in your scenario?

I will do mine tmr

Hi Akit,

I've tried the new beta and the problem did not occur. In fact it has only occurred with build 384. Only Enrico will know what he changed in that version and then appeared to remove in later ones.

Is he still travelling the world? It would be nice if he could comment on this publicly when able.

If the boeing version has been fixed why not the airbus?

All,

I flew LOWW-EGCC Saturday with 387c and encountered serious issues. The most important one is that the CDU is eating processing time and causing update problems with the PFD (they run on the same PC). The CDU CPU time was averaging 60-70%! I've reported it to Enrico so in the meantime I suggest you don't use it. I'm back on 382 for now and it's averaging 3%.

Hi,

one question though: does 382 accept the new Navdata from Jan 07?

Thanks

Hi Peter,

Nothing nasty has happened so I guess the answer is yes. I haven't heard back from Enrico yet but maybe he spends Sunday with the family.

Hi Ray,

thanks a very lot for the prompt and positive answer. Let´s cross fingers Enrico gets a chance for hands on that problem.

Cheers

Peter

OK. Let me see if I can make this clear. The PM team ( including Enrico) will NOT be monitoring these forums. So if there is a problem that we can not (this one) solve among ourselves then a message to support@projectmagenta.com is in order. All of there tech support will be done by email from now on. This forum will be for sharing ideas and help from other users. We have not made any headway on this issue so those having this problem ( all of you having this problem!) need to contact PM directly. And once solved please keep us informed.

Hi Bob I contacted PM about 3 weeks ago with this and about another 30 major problems I'm having with the Airbus suite... Enrico said he would look into it when he got back from the USA. I'm grounded at the moment with the PM software, i'm finding it almost unflyable with the climb/descent VS problems and problems with the flight plan vanishing and drawing incorrectly on the ND.

[Bob Reed]

Yes that is what we need to do ... contact them. everyone with this problem. Boeing and Airbus alike. I too have contacted them on behalf of you, I am not seeing this issue.

I downloaded Boeing CDU 387c today from the intermediate builds and it seems to have resolved the problem of heavy CPU useage by the CDU. Enrico didn't respond to any of my later messages about this which is a bit unusual but the problem appears to be resolved.
