Hi
What did you do JL? After last online update, lag has disappeared. Excellent job!
1. But I can't save now, because when I press PILOT ROUTES the MCDU and the FCU freezes.
2. After pressing the brakes once with auto brakes on, they don't release. I think they should do.
3. Please at the next release let all these overhead panel buttons on in the beginning. I count 25 off buttons... All these must be pressed every time before a single flight. I think it's easy for you. We use mouse not on the desk, but in a flight deck environment. It's not easy...
Regards

Hi,

Well this is weird, the very last update was just about hardwareconenct bug, but not at linked with the lag issues you could experiment??
Maybe you had skipped inadvertently one older update? How many files did the updater download? only a couple or the whole package again??

Cheers,
JL

...but this is a normal procedure when you start cold and dark.

Of cource is normal, but they push buttons. The most of us click mouse buttons. Besides how many flights every day begin from cold and dark? I think a 5 or 10%...

Hi JL,

again some issues:

1. WPTs shown on ND still refere to AC position ..> so when in plan mode no WPTs are shown when area of interest is further away from AC
2. some changes in WPTs constains (spd, alt) are not updated/shown in F-PLN page after they have been changed
3. after I selected a SID and I would like to change to a different SID afterwards, however the first loaded SID remains, I cant change it
4. I have a saved route from EDDM 2 EDDM. When I load it the ILS dots + the magenta square for LOC and GS wont show up on the PFD. This issue only happens when I load the saved route.
5. I might mentioned before... when I now turn the brightness for PFD I only create a small long "dark" black bar where the LOC dots on the PFD should be. It only affects this small bar. the rest of the PFD remains visible and doesnt change its brightness.
6. Sounds/callouts: some improvement ideas: - a sort of volume control would be nice. In addition I noticed that the last callout is not played if there is still another callout playing. i.e. sometimes you dont hear the retard. How is the priority of callouts defined in the real aircraft?
7. maybe you can delay the "LVR assy" message on PFD by 1 sec... that would enable the users to pull back the LVRs from FLEX to CLB without seeing the message for some milliseconds.
8. what comes with b27?
9. So far I have not used the online updater. Is there meanwhile a new sub b26 available or did I misunderstand something? where do I see if an new update is available?


As I just read the lines about the initial state of the AC. I agree a state saving option would be really helpful. however, the best initial push button state when you load the AC is really user dependent.

JL, thanks!!!

Cheers,
Rob

Hi all,

As Rob says, the best initial pushbutton state is user dependent...
I will try someday to add a facility so get different panel state, but it is not high priority.

On another note, I have just finished B27, it is online here:
