The “smutz” on the screens is IMHO very excessive, but more than that its the exact same pattern on all four screens which just looks silly and frankly lazy.
Also the checklist on the second MFD doesn’t seem to work. Is this a operator error or does it not function?
Yeah that’s always the workaround on aircraft when the mouse doesn’t work right in VR but its very annoying.
Its a bug. working title knows about it.
MFD Swap doesn’t appear to function. I believe when you have only the lower MFD on (stby power) you should be able to swap between synoptic and nav
Shorthand comm frequencies also don’t appear to function
Can’t enter alternate into flight plan
I like this aircraft but the autothrottle is terrible. 
It keeps going over and under the target constantly, its not able to hold the auto throttle speed.
Oh I love this airplane and honestly this is the one I was looking forward to the most including the honeywell system.
Unfortunately at the moment the systems modeling is really buggy, so I hope it gets some love to bring it up to where it should be.
Really a good foundation, so lovely avionics but basic and full of issues. To add one, I can not see any TCAS or trafic at all.
Trying to setup a flight plan, but it doesn’t appear to list all the SIDs. At first I thought maybe this was a sim problem, but if I pull up the EFB and do the flight plan there, it shows the departure (ROCKI6 in this case) just fine.
Anyone know how to zoom/pan the nav screen? I thought it would be a matter of selecting the top MFD on the controller down on the pedestal and then using the knobs but that doesn’t seem to do anything.
Autopilot FLC seems to have major issues. If will pitch down or up extremely aggressively, well beyond the FD. When descending it pitches down until overspeed then pulls back. When ascending it pitches up to nearly 50 degrees!! until the aircraft stalls, and then AP is disabled.
Also, I noticed ASEL doesn’t engage if you dial in your desired altitude and then hit FLC/VS. You have to enabled the vertical mode first and then set the altitude. This may be correct behavior, I don’t know, but wanted to highlight it for someone to either confirm or correct me as appropriate.
In the MFD map, left corner at around 280 degrees of your plane there is the little highlighted range value. Click on it, hold and move your mouse
Ah I think I see what you mean. Will try that next flight, thanks.
Thanks so that does work for zooming. Is there no way to pan?
Not as it seems
The real plane doesnt pitch aggressively, there was an update that fixed it haha. For FLC the plane should pitch to maintain that speed after putting the alt in a pressing it. I just did it in the sim and it worked as it does in the real plane. I at 2000ft with at AT holding 180, i put in 5k pushed FLC and it pitched to keep 180 and didnt go over 10 degrees nose up. It pitched up quite smoothly.
You put in 5k THEN pushed FLC? Did it capture? If I put the altitude in first and then hit FLC it won’t arm alt select and will blow right through it.
As for why I get the massive pitches and you don’t, I don’t know how it could possibly be user error. I mean how would I screw that up?
I can’t tell from your image but is your AT set to Manual or FMS? Mine was on FMS and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
yes it captured it smoothly. what speed are you asking it to capture after pushing FLC…if youre at 230 and u want it to pitch for 140 then you will get that. The way i fly the ngx irl is to climb with the AT off and then enable it when you get to cruise. For continuous climbs, ..use VS till the speed tapes bleeds back to what you want then click FLC. Its a much smoother experience for passengers.
I was just testing some stuff with the autothrottle. I never use the AT for climbs..only cuise and descent(but not in the sim cause its very bad) It was set to manual…FMS always wants you to pitch at 140 but if your at 230…you’re gonna pitch up a lot to get to 140. So a better technique is change it to MAN speed and set it for what you want, use VS till the speed bleeds back to what you set(i usually do 1500-2000 FPM), Then push FLC and do the rest of the climb in FLC.
Well I had it on FMS and honestly wasn’t even paying attention to the numbers.
I’ll do a video a bit later
