CAPTAIN SIM FORUM - Print Page

Dear Captain Sim Staff,

It would be nice to have the possibility to open a ticket, but, maybe I did not carefully check the website, in this case accept my apologies.

Here a list of things that need to be fixed:

- On MCP, THR switch need to be replaced with EPR on PW powered airframe
- Combination of EPR values / N1 does not match the Boeing performances data
- DRAG REQUIRED message is normally displayed with a delay and is not displayed during configuration (Flaps extension)
- RHS VOR is not possible to be tuned in AUTO, in real life all VOR can be selected in AUTO
- HF Radio missing from overhead panel. (even if not used in simulation could at least have been inserted)
- With RAT deployed but below 160kts C HYD press should be illuminated (look like the pressure is simply linked to the switch position) and all surfaces move while only the one powered by C HYD should.
Cargo version Cockpit layout is different, there are 3 observer seat and a lavatory present in flight deck.

Let me know if I can be of any help in fixing these and other issues.

Let me know if I can be of nay help i

Just a comment on something:

For the MCP, PW birds (can) also have THR as the selector, especially for airlines who use both engine versions or even airlines who also have the 757, they interchange these buttons. (The major airline I'm thinking of does this, EPR is an option but not required)

One thing to add, you're totally right about the flight controls on RAT being a little off. It looks mostly correct, but only spoilers 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10 should be moving along with the flaperons as far as the wings are concerned.

For some reason spoilers 1,2,6, etc. are also moving, albeit very slowly and not full deflection. I'm thinking this is because the engines are windmilling and those pumps which are imbedded into the aircraft.cfg, and are interfering. P3D simulates low engine hydraulic pump pressure by making flight controls / gear move more slowly. I tested this by slowing down enough so that the engines aren't windmilling and voilà, the rest of the spoilers stopped moving. So maybe CS can fix that.

As car as the cockpit indications are concerned, mine seem to be working exactly as expected. The issue is that I tested and my RAT stalled at 80kts. That is way too slow. However, the PRESS light did accurately extinguish on the RAT deploy button, and C HYD PRESS illuminated accurately. Just looks like the speed at which the RAT stalls is quite off, should be almost doubled.

Dear Alex, thanks a lot for the reply, our 767 (we got both GE and PW and each aircraft has the correct switch) but all the rest still lies there. Do you know how to open a ticket with CS?

For me the very small things to eventually look into :

- MAP display modes button on the FCP should be illumated when pressed "on" (it was on the FSX B767)

- V2 call is just after V1 call even at gross weight

- The plane stops few miles out of TOD ? Don't know if this is an option that can be overriden ? (I know you can in another company I am just not sure CS did the same)

Otherwise just a fabulous version like it was for FSX, ohly just better. Congrat CS you did it again !!!!!!

On the CDU click on the MENU button > Setup (LSK5R) > Options (LSK3R) > Pause at Top of Descent (LSK1L) - clicking on LSK1L will switch between ON and OFF.

RHS VOR not AUTO is likely due to right EFIS panel are default in VOR mode rather than MAP mode, that would prevent VOR panel select to AUTO.
IMO the most sever issue for me is EPR not hit performance table, I don't care about much on N1 as it's not the main parameter pilot use, but even if you look EPR along, it deviate a lot from realworld performance number.

I agree with this so much. If I had the ability, I'd just fix it myself. It's so wrong that for my PW sound pack, I had to add a parameter to adjust the sound pitched based on TAS too as well as N1 (since we know N1 requierd for a particular EPR varies with airspeed).

Thanks Markoz, I found it just after posting...thanks I first looked trough the ususal FMS entries and didn't discover the MENU options immediately. Now we get to load the bird via FMS as well CS just surpassed themselves with that new version. I find the lights (cockpit & cabin exterior) very well rendered also. Taxi and landing lights need rework, as this overwing light I have no idea where it comes from :P

RESET MCP ALT

This message should clear from both the CDU scratchpads as well as the EICAS screen once the altitude is changed on the MCP.

This is not currently simulated accurately in the sim.

P.S. Please change the "Pause at T/D default option to OFF"

Best regards.

SYNC CAPT / FO Speed Bugs + Altimeters?

It would be fantastic if the captain and FO white speed bugs, altimeter settings and orange minimums bug could be synced as this perfectly reflects how the should 'normally' be in real world operation.

It may also save on required system resources by removing lines of code that currently require them to operate independent of each other?

Best Regards.
