ND: Missing VNAV Profile
Nov 21st, 2014 at 10:15pm
Print Post  
Hi,
I am used to seeing on VNAV capable Boeing Navigation display, a vertical descent profile deviation index to show whether your aircraft is on the correct VNAV descent path, or whether you are high or low, and by how much.
This appears still to be missing in the CS777 V1.5, unless I'm doing something wrong.
Could someone confirm whether this is still the case, in the FSX and P3D versions?
With thanks,
Fabio

Hi,
Please, anyone?
I just want to know if I'm missing something and/or doing something wrong in the CS777, or whether this is still a missing feature in V1.5 of the CS777?
What I'd like to do is to buy the CS777 for P3D, but first I'd like to know about this feature.
Many thanks,
Fabio

One hundred and fifteen views, and not one helpful hint?

This bit:

There is nothing wrong with your installation, I've never seen it in the CS777 for FSX or P3Dv2. Undecided

Hi Markoz,
Thanks, I can relax now knowing I'm not losing my marbles!!
Other VNAV capable CS aircraft have this vertical profile deviation index (or whatever it's called!), so I'm just surprised that it's missing here.
Thanks and best wishes,
Fabio

I guess it needs to be added to the "still needs to be done" list for the 777. Undecided

Yes, I totally agree.

I was so very pleased with the behaviour of the CS777 V1.5, as it seems to be a much more mature product than before.

CS have clearly worked very hard on perfecting its VNAV performance, so why omit this crucial detail, as it tells pilots whether they are on the VNAV profile, or whether they are above or below it, and if so, by how many feet, and this is critical information that is essential viewing on the ND, I would say.

I sincerely hope that CS will feel able to release a patch for this; I will be unable to buy the P3D version until this is corrected. ALL other VNAV capable CS aeroplanes have it, so I'm hoping for a quick fix patch from CS, please!
