Title: Vertical Speed Indicator Fix Post by Matt2218 on Dec 4th, 2009 at 12:09am
Good evening all;
So, I've been flying the 727 for awhile and my landing approaches have been consistently "high". I suspected a problem with the VSI because I still had problems getting down the glidepath, even with a descent rate of -1000FPM. I installed a default Cessna-172 gauge to check against, and found they were different...the 727 gauge overstated the descent rate by -250 FPM. This explained my high approaches. To make sure, I then opened up the "L11_vsi" xml gauge (in cab file Captain_Sim.p721.L11) and placed a compass rose over the background bitmap. I found that the angular measurements in the "nonlinearity table" were wrong by ~10 degrees or so. I edited the gauge with 'notepad' so that the "Nonlinearity table" looked like this: <NonlinearityTable id="NonlinearityTable"> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>-6.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>10</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>-4.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>50</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>-2.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>100</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>-1.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>135</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>-0.500</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>155</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>0.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>180</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>0.500</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>205</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>1.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>225</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>2.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>260</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>4.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>310</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> <NonlinearityEntry id="NonlinearityEntry"> <ExpressionResult>6.000</ExpressionResult> <Degrees>350</Degrees> </NonlinearityEntry> </NonlinearityTable> I've submitted a ticket so hopefully this can make it into the next update. CaptainSim, I can put the gauge in my MediaFire folder for you to download if you like. |
