Hi-

Bad news...the magenta circles are back. I've attached a picture.

Other bugs found:

-Ctr Fuel tank does not display any quantity
-Hydraulic Pressure gages can no longer be written to. I used to send data
to the gages in the EICAS and that stopped working with this last release.
-ACTIVATE keeps showing up in the CDU. Once you've activated a flight plan,
it should not show up again.
-I cannot enter a route now in the RTE page. I can enter the first waypoint,
but it wont let me enter further ones without doing it in the legs page.
Did it twice tonight on two seperate flights. In one instance, I was able
to enter the 2nd waypoint in the plan, then enter the 1st waypoint, then it
behaved correctly after that. Very strange. Havent played with it enough
to figure out more exact bug info.

Thanks!
Matt

Hello Matt,

Relating to your circles, well they must be catching, because I have got the
same thing. Mine appear and disappear as if by magic. Very strange, hay
maybe they are crop circles. Seriously have you had any luck sorting this
thing out?

All the Best,

Karl

How do you produce the image file from your screen?

Search Google for freeware FsScreen or Snapper

Just run them and then press print screen.

Snapper is better.

I just did Alt_PrntScrn on my PC, then pasted it in a graphics program.

This should be fixed.

Which offsets are you writing to precisely and is pmSystems
running?

That I haven't seen...

You mean sometimes it works and others it doesn't? Can you
give me an exact sequence?

- Crop Circles... side effect of new RNAV programming, but
how do you expect the calculation to go to SUZSI if you do
not use a direct to whatever waypoint you want to go to?
