Hi there,
just a few days ago I got myself Aerofly FS 4. Now I'm baffled, how solid the default Airliners are.
Whoever programmed them, did a fantastic job. I never had such a good experience flying default airliners -
neither in XP nor in MFS. Here comes my first report:
B747
Issues with the plane configuration when setting the "Location" to "take off":
1. LNAV & VNAV are not armed.
2. CRZ ALT, which had been chosen on the "Navigation" screen, is not set - neither in the FMC nor in the MCP Panel.
Bug: The T/C is moving on the PFD when changing the MCP ALT. Compare the following two images:
Possible Bug: During descend "VNAV SPD" can occur in conjunction with the thrust mode "SPD".
As far as I'm concerned either pitch or thrust should control the speed, but not both at a time.
FMC Issue: The DESC Page is empty.
This is a bit of a petty since the other two pages are filled with information.
Issue: Indication "Flap 0" does not vanish.
General Issues:
Changing ACCEL and THRUST REDUCTION HEIGHT has no effect:
VNAV should not bug up the speed beyond V2+20 until reaching the ACCEL HEIGHT.
TO thrust should not switch over to CLB thrust until reaching the THRUST REDUCTION HEIGHT.
PFD Glitch, see Wind Indication
VOR Tuning
The plane-internal auto-tuning always tunes in
one and the same VOR for both VOR 1 and VOR 2.
Clicking on the question mark within the "Navigation" Screen does nothing.
That's it for now. I can only encourage you to further refine the default planes.
Their high quality stands out!
