Title: Takeoff EPR & winds aloft
Post by B753Pilot on Feb 21st, 2018 at 2:49pm
Hi guys,

Firstly, congratulations on making a great 757 addon. The model itself is lovely, and although there are bugs in the FD I'm sure you guys will release another hotfix for those soon.

My question today is in two parts - firstly - Takeoff EPR. For some reason my engines command around 1.30 EPR for takeoff, with an N1 of around 77%. This is typically with flap 5 and a relatively large de-rate. Now, I'm not sure if this is a PW thing, because I fly the 757 in real life on the RR variant, and typically even with an assumed temperature of 48-55 degrees, the takeoff EPR is between 1.65-1.75 approximately, obviously depending on atmospheric conditions - is this a bug or is this normal for PW variants?

Secondly - I used active sky for P3Dv4, and usually fly to real world weather. When I'm in the FMC on RTE DATA, and request the winds for my waypoints, it doesn't seem to do anything at all. Do I really have to enter winds aloft at each waypoint or will there be a bug that will allow ACARS type functions?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
