Only the one from above. I haven't checked the list for the next SP yet. Lets see. There you go.  :)

Q: PDCS issues
1) The PDCS modes #4 GS, #5 RNG and #6 FUEL can't be accessed.
2) The PDCS computed values for CRZ are too low.
3) The PDCS does not drive the EPR and ASI bugs like stated in the manual2, page 78.
4) No mode entries possible when pressing the keys.
5) wrong EPR CRZ values, too low cruise speed for a 737, it may stall at that speed when flying high.
6) No light (before pressing), no action when ENGAGE is pressed.
7) Modes should be accessible like the other ones, e.g. LOAD (works) on #1.
8) Cruise speeds in ECON for a 737 should aim at some 0.75 to 0.79 I guess.The manual mode should allow for manual speed (Mach) entries higher than 0.616, up to the max possible cruise speed of the 737.
The PDCS should then give the corresponding EPR values.
9) From the manual2, when pressing ENGAGE, the PDCS should:
"5. ENGAGE KEY
PRESS (with a flight mode selected) - • Drives the EPR and/or airspeed bugs to the displayed values
• The key light extinguishes and the engaged mode is displayed on the flight mode annunciator"

A: The issues are on the list for the next upgrade, and are forwarded to our development team. We will do our best to address the issue in the next upgrade.


From: 737 Captain / On the list for next SP (QID 8138)

So I'd say it's processed (therefore closed) and the devs know about it and communicate the issues as seen above. Ticket system works.  :D Lets just wait for the SP.
