Hotfix 1601
Oct 16th, 2020 at 10:10am
 
Updated 2020-OCT-17 22:00 UTC

Advanced users only.



Changelog:
- 0116      It would be great so see the control columns move when on autopilot just like in the 767. https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1602185768                                                                                                                                    
- 0216      VNAV descent above FL100 always results in speed dropping over 15 knots from commanded speed and THRUST REQUIRED message. Seems calculated descent path is too shallow? Descent winds are entered into the Forecast page. This is with or without and descent restrictions.            https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1576518392/45#45
                                                                                                                                   
- 0316      "Unable to disconnect Autothrottle using thumb buttons on thrust levers in any phase of flight apart from when on approach. If I try to disconnect the AT during cruise or descent for example, SPD just re-annunciates on the FMA. Only way to do it is to use switch on MCP.
Attempting to disconnect Auto Throttle during cruise using the thrust lever button. Autothrottle remains engaged, and SPD mode re-annunciates on the FMA. Video below.

- 0416      STILL getting Autopilot warning and yellow line through GS FMA in last 20 feet of landing (someone posted a picture of this exactly problem on the previous page). Happens in manual or automatic flight.            "https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1576518392/52#52

Thanks guys, I'm at work until Monday so won't get a chance to test, hopefully someone else can, but looks like a good list of fixes Smiley

Awesome. Just wondering if the little hydraulic C2 pump issue is being worked on as well?

Looks like some nice changes! Could we get an FSX hotfix to try?

Thanks

After a quick test flight

changelog -0116 working
0316  appears to be functioning correctly
0416 after 6 approaches manual and automatic I did not get the autopilot warning as described.

0216 the THRUST REQUIRED issue appears to be fixed but I experienced an initial slow response to the TOD. The aircraft then descended at 4000 ft/min to catch up and required Drag. Then as it descended through FL200 i experienced strange behavior. The descent rate reduced to zero. the vertical track error was approx 20ft. Then after 60 seconds the vertical track error jumped up to 4500ft high. The aircraft then entered a 4000ft/min descent before finally settling on the VNAV PTH. I tried three times with the same outcomes. Situation saved and attached.

Another observation the DES now function is still not working for me in P3Dv5.

Thanks for this update, working well so far on my end (using FSX).
On another note, I just tried a cruise descent for the first time since 1.503 and that behaved well with -1250fpm and was controllable via the thrust levers.

Some great updates recently!

The DES NOW has always worked for me, just curious what it does for you?

Same issue, and not only for TOD, if the descnt path angle would change due to different al restrictions, the aircraft will had some time out of pace. seems to me the VNAV path are not smoothed like the cruved connection between LNAV route waypoint, so it's physically not possible to follow it at such point.
Most noticeably with RNAV approach, if IF-FAF are level, then the aircraft will need more warbling to follow 3degree glide path with VNAV, than say use the ILS GS.

Following on from the feedback given by Alex T stating that DES Now was working for him, I have this morning carried out a clean reinstall of the 757. I can now confirm I have the DES Now working with the PW2037 version with the new sys dll. But not working for the rr version.

Clearly a problem my end. the only thing I did differently was to download and copy the revised dll with the windows defender off.

I checked DES NOW in P3Dv5 on 57-RR - it works fine for me.
