Some Important Issues

Hello, First time poster....

So here are some general issues that I have found flying the 2.2...
Well firts thanks for finally completing the thing so we can do one entire flight....

So,
1-) Why there is not the ´´SPEED INTERVENTION´´ Mode in VNAV (For those of you who might not know, this happens when you simply push the speed selector knob, this allows you to fly certain speed without having to go to the FMC... While staying in the VNAV mode.)

2-) Why can you move the ´´STAB TRIM´´ without having yet pressurized the hydraulic system?...

3-) 3 out of about 10 or 12 flights i´ve done so far with the 2.2, have this issue, say youre took off from Stockholm to Newark at 0610Z... Youre estimated time of arrival at EWR can´t be lower than 1340Z... the thing is when I did it the ETA at DEST was 4 minutes ahead of the ACTUAL time.... Don´t know why but yet hard to fly like these..

4-) What´s with the cabin altitude?... I´m flying at 35000ft and the cabin alt is about 20000ft?? I don´t think so...

5-) Why there is not an option to allow the IRS´s to align in the real 10 minutes instead of the 30secs they do?... Thats just the fast align mode...

6-) In take off , when you select FLEX temp, the flex shouldn´t show up after CLB  is selected (Or VNAV)...... And the Autobrakes shouldn´t remain in the RTO position, they actually return to OFF after gear is selected UP....

Well thats all I can think of for now....

Thanks,
Daniel Ospina

No offense man, but these are pretty nitpicky.

The way I see it, I spent $12 for a pretty decent home sim. I could have spent $1000/hr for a real Boeing simulator experience (http://www.virtualaviation.co.uk/fun/prices.html) but this was definitely more bang for the buck. I might add that the Boeing simulator may be the only place you're going to get the level of realism you're looking for.

Also - you want to spend "the real" 10min for an IRS alignment? LOL  Cheesy

Maybe if they paid ME
