Guys, following the recommendation from a few folks here I took a 1mth subscription to Navigraph. To take a look.
Ok so yes indeed it adds considerably to the experience and I think I will keep subscribing. It’s much easier than having to dig the (although official and free) charts in the AIPs.
Now, when I use my iPad as the EFB, when I try to display the ROUTE, I see my track but there is no map, airways etc. There is a small wheel on the top right corner for me to click and select, but when I click there, nothing happens. My page is still blank, as you can see below.
What am I missing ?
(no issue with the EFB in the sim itself. It’s just when I use the iPad).
Guys, after landing and I arrive at the gate, I shut down the engines and I’m being asked via a pop up on the EFB if I want to disembark my passengers. If I click “yes”, the passengers disembark without the jetway having been connected yet (or the front-left door having been open).
This is not a world-class problem and I guess I can just click “No” instead, connect my jetway and then disembark ? (I presume that’s possible ?) Is there any other way this should be handled (without using third party addons for now please, as I said earlier I am still figuring out what this plane does and doesn’t do on its own).
It’s an MSFS 2020 limitation. No idea if it will be possible in 2024. Ray tracing would fix it so maybe we’ll get lucky, depends on how the new ray tracing features work.
Hey, I have a question about general Airbus.
If you enter a cruise profile below 25, the cruise speed will be lower than the climb and desend speed. For Cl6 for example, this makes Mach 0.77/0.74/0.77.
That somehow doesn’t make much sense to me, since he slows down after the climb to accelerate again for the decent?!
Is this normal procedure and is this how it is flown or is a manual speed entered into the MCDU for the route after the TOC?
I’ve got GSX Pro and have noted when at the gate on external power, there is a small generator cart on the ramp, plugged into the jet. Most airports seem to use an electrical cable that is affixed to the jetway. Is this a limitation of GSX or is there an option in the Fenix program to select this type of external power?
Well that’s surprising. I don’t recall ever seeing a portable generator cart in RL at any airport I’ve been to (US domestic and European). For some reason I thought PMDG’s 737 had an option for jetway provided power, but I may be mistaken, it’s been ages since I flew that sim.
What about AC while on the ground? Are there any options for ground-provided chilled air or is it a case of keep the APU running or go without?
You can select “PCA” on the EFB and it will supply preconditioned air. On the GPU side, even PMDG only offers either the cart or a pedestal off to the side of the aircraft, but not on the jetway.
Unfortunately, no, not that I have seen. I’m hoping they add something at some point for that. I really like how PMDG did it with the 777 (and I believe 737, but my memory escapes me).
Yeah, it’s present on the 737’s. Yellow “flex hose” connecting to an opened port on the belly of the jet. When you disconnect, the hose drops away and the cover closes. It’s a pretty nice effect.
Has anyone had a huge decrease in FPS since SU15. Ive gone from having about 45 cold and dark at the gate to about 29. Take off down to 21 and cruise which was previously well above 40 varies between 25 and 32. Has anyone else got a similar situation? PMDG 737 which previously had worse performance is now significantly better. Ive tried a clean install and deleted shaders.
Nope, no change. I did go through a weird issue last week. At start up, single digit FPS, followed by a freeze-up and then a CTD. Even after a reboot, same thing. Finally called it night. Next time a fired up the sim a few days later, all was well.
On the Fenix when I go to flap 4 form 3, with autothottle on engines spool up, decent rate reduces rapidly to 300 or 400 fpm as a result, and I have to pitch down in anticipation to keep it at 700fpm. I’ve never seen it happening in real airline videos - anyone else also faced this problem?
Also, there are times it wobbles on short finals that disturbs a smooth decent rate even when there is no gust in METAR with rather manageable winds of up to 15 Kts- my turbulence effect is set to medium. Any pointers will be helpful.
