CDU Procedures bug?

[Bob Reed]

LNav is not approach mode!! No one said you didn't know Lnav. I say you have no idea what you are talking about with PM because you do not own it nor have you tried the demos. Until then you have no idea what you are talking about as far as PM is concerned!

Hello,

thank you for this. I will try to reach Stefan to understand whether he is
using the right converter.

Again I will SAY!!!!!!! PM worked fine untill they started working on the CDU. Yes Lnav and VNav work. That is MCP not CDU. If you send questions and bug reports to support@projectmagenta.com they will answer. The PM crew does not hang out in this forum. I am using an older version of the CDU and my PM suit works fine. You seem to have a lot of fear about PM. My suggestion to you is NOT to buy it.

Wich version of CDU do you have? can you put it in there so we can download, PM doesn't offer older CDU version 'cause they say are obsolete!

Excuse me, but you are not understanding what I'm trying to get across here. I was saying that user who posted this thing couldn't fly a dme arc STAR approach using LNAV/CDU together - i am not talking about APP mode. The CDU is involved in LNAV, that is what I was saying.

I know what LNAV is from other programs such as PMDG - don't try and put words into my mouth please. Just because I don't have PM doesn't mean I don't know how A/P/MCP works, I am very familiar with the sequence from other programs and I know how the systems should behave. It seems clearly that they are not working properly according to the people here. The aircraft should fly a path without deviation when in LNAV according to the STAR entered into the CDU.

Now it is you who are putting words in someones mouth. Here is the DIRECT quote that I made "Until then you have no idea what you are talking about as far as PM is concerned!" IN REGARDS TO PM nothing more.....

Em, PM is supposed to simulate the LNAV function that is found in aircraft systems - i know those sytems and according to people's posts here, PM isn't behaving like a LNAV system should at this time.

Bob - which version of CDU are you using, and does that work with the latest navdata?

Another issue I'm noticing with the MCP is that LVL CHG is very unreliable, if not downright hazardous. It commands strange climb/descent profiles (illogical) and huge speed increases on descent - when it should be commanding A/T at idle. I have to use V/S all the time now when not using VNAV.

Hi Nic... I am about to go downstairs and I will let you know what versions of all the software I am running.
