Title: First flight, some questions
Post by mark767 on Dec 24th, 2011 at 6:22pm
Had a chance to fly the 200 today, KMIA - KATL, classic Pan Am flight.  A few questions.

1) I am really having trouble with the A/P pitch settings.  No issue on how to work it, just having trouble with the adjustments to increase and decrease the pitch.  When I click on the decrease side of the wheel the pitch increases?  I ended up disconnecting Elevator and manually set the pitch.
 btw, does the FSUIPC increase/decrease pitch work?  Would be nice to set up a button on my throttle quad to adjust the pitch.  I have had success with this on the ConcordeX.

2) I used the old Dream_fleet 727 tutorial to go through this flight, notice there is no cruise alt and landing atl settings....I assume this is correct and just a different 727 feature modelled here.

3) Is there anyway to have Nav2 work on the FO gauge ??

4) Seems like the N2 on engine start does not go up to 25%, however, the engines do start at 10%.  This may be part of the new gauges that I installed per the mods thread.

5) Where are the EPR settings for takeoff, climb, cruise ?? I took a quick look through the manuals but did not find them.

6) Seemed like the A/P NAV mode really hunted the VOR with lots of S turns even when perfectly on course.  Is this normal for this FS model?  I ended up disconnecting it and using HDG mode.

Other than that it was a great flight, really enjoyed having to navigate and fly the STAR for a change...that another company NG spoils you rotten.
