[edit]The 1.3 version of the mighty 707 is available since 04 Mar '11 which renders this list to a not current one. See details here (http://www.captainsim.com/products/x707/updates.html)
The new post 1.3 bug list can be found here http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1299594859/0#0.[/edit]
Here we are again, Captain Sim did a great and fast job on the 1.2 release but, unfortunately, some things might still be buggy.
The purpose of this list is to show the remaining bugs with a description and a screenshot. Followed by a text of how it should be.
To discuss the item and to check whether it is user driven or an across-the-board lack of function in the 1.2 707 is the last step then.
After this verification, tickets have to be written to make sure the items can be processed through the Captain Sim Support.
Naming things in this thread alone does not help.
Every verified item has to be set up as a ticket via Your Profile > Customer Support > Trouble Ticket System.
If you wonder which items are already on the Captain Sim list, check your profile again, search the Knowledge Base and look for "on the list for the next SP" to get a current view.
Should look like this (only an example picture)
This list isn't intended to show clear user related problems like "I can't start the engines" or "how do I get external power?" or system dependent ones (like the flashing textures).
Please use separate threads and the ticket system for such things.
As stated from Captain Sim here http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1286222773/120
we can't expect a 1.3 version to arrive this year because they have some other products to support and develop too. Please have that in mind when insisting on "urgent" things.
Feel free to comment on issues and, of course, to describe your findings. Any input here will enhance the picture of a possible bug.
The order does not represent any priority.
1. Pressurization System
- the Cabin Alt readings are wrong (or the cabin isn't pressurized, which is most likely the case) and climb with the aircraft Alt
See the small needle of the No. 10 instrument? It should show the current cabin Alt while the big needle should read the differential pressure between cabin and aircraft outside in PSI.
The small needle follows the aircraft Alt which explains why the Oxygen System is still triggered above 14.000ft cabin Alt.
The big needle should read a differential pressure but has to be wrong if the cabin climbs with the aircraft Alt (same vaules). The differential pressure would then be 0.
- The Overhead Oxygen warnings (on the "Oxygen Pressure Panel") still come up which can only be explained by a not pressurized cabin.
- You then loose pressure in the oxygen cylinders as seen on the "Oxygen Pressure Panel" at the engineer's station. Same explanation, the cabin doesn't get pressurized.
So the Oxygen system seems to work correctly while the cabin doesn't get pressurized and therefor triggers the warnings and countermeasures above 14.000ft fyling altitude.
2. DME readings above 109nm are faulty on the "DME Indicator"
Compare the DME readings with the ones the MHPDI ("Magnetic Heading Pictoral Deviation Indicator").
Here are the wrong ones when above 109nm (currently showing 129nm)
One digit on the DME Indicator is stuck at "0" while in this example it should read "2".
The Tens digit rotates up to 100 where it becomes a zero. It never rotates higher than that. (thanks to Markoz for the description)
and the correct values (MHPDI and DME Indicator show the same values now) when below 109nm (currently showing 88nm)
3. The "Interconnect Valve Switch" (on the HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PANEL, No. 12) isn't operational.
See Reply #6 for details as I would run out of characters in this post.
4. The "Coolant Air System Panel" is mixed up with the readings of the "Valve Position Indicator" and "Valve Selector Switch" or the "Turbofan Exit Valve Override Switches".
See Reply #7 for details as I would run out of characters in this post.
5. The 10.000ft pointer of the standby altimeter isn't operational above 20.000ft. The manuals describe this pointer as one for the runway height, which seems to be wrong. It just points the 10.000ft steps of your current altitude.
So it should work like this (it only does below 20.000ft)
while the manuals describe this
Please check the bug lists for the 727, 757 and 767 in the corresponding forum areas too and help us users to help the company. :)
