Hello everybody.
After a long, really long time thinking, today I decided to do a long haul with the CS777 from SKBO to LFPG (this was the first long haul Ive ever done). First time I tried it, I was experiencing a really heavy rocking effect with auto-pilot. I didnt gave up, closed the sim, and searched on the forums and found a solution, that by the way worked perfectly.
After that, I tried for a second time. The climb was perfect, (except that the plane reached the cruise level about 80nm before the T/C). Cruise was also really good. I had no problems at all.
BUT, everything became a nightmare 20nm before T/D. I selected an APP and STAR on FMC but it didnt appear in the FMC nor the ND. after a long time trying to fix it, i had to select a random APP transition and then the APP showed. Did a normal decent, when the LOC became alive I pushed APP button, But the plane didnt follow glide slope, it just kept holding the altitude while the Loc was intercepted.
To make the story shorter. I was unstable on final so I decided to make a missed approach. BIG MISTAKE. as soon as I disengaged the aP and retracted the landing gear... Fatal error. FSX crashed, that was the end of my first long haul and the end of a 10 hour flight. :(
I took alot of pictures of that flight. So I will share them. And to Tania and Captain sim. if you read this, I believe this product has a Big potential, I beg captain sim to take a look at the systems modeling of this A/C (because graphics are really good). IM SURE YOU CAN MAKE A BETTER JOB.
Ok here are some of the pictures.
