I like MCE because it doesn't only come with pre-packaged checklists and procedures, but you can create your own / edit them at will. I've created all...

[Stearmandriver]

Worth trying Multi Crew Experience; giving verbal commands for controls cuts down dramatically on the need for keybindings. The beta for the PMDG 737...

[Stearmandriver]

737s don't like back course approaches. Maybe there are some out there with an option to be able to do them in Approach mode, but at least on the fleet...

I have seen it intermittently. Happens around 1200ft maybe... always clears in a couple seconds....

[Stearmandriver]

I will, tomorrow. I expect I'll see the same as you. It's interesting that it's regional like this.

[Stearmandriver]

Just offering a datapoint: neither of these issues (runway edge lines or flight path vector) seem to exist at KGEG, at least not on my system. I haven't...

[Stearmandriver]

I mean to be fair, an EFB is not made for that either .

In a simulator, a user interface has to be put *somewhere*; ideally somewhere that...

[Stearmandriver]

Thanks for chiming in Chris. I'm wondering, is this magvar situation a regional issue in the sim? I ask because I've practiced a bunch of Aiii approaches...

[Stearmandriver]

When conducting a hybrid approach (an autoland monitored by the Aiii mode of the HUD), my airline's minimums are 30ft AGL / 400 RVR with fail passive...

[Stearmandriver]

Ah yes... wing flex... for those times when you want to play Deadhead Simulator instead of Flight Simulator...

[Stearmandriver]

The engines and APU can suction feed, so it is correct that they'll start on the ground with pumps off (though as stated, it's easier on them to not do...

[Stearmandriver]

Just to clarify, I wasn't saying that I don't believe you or anything. I've actually been surprised that mine seem to work out well, after reading that...

[Stearmandriver]

Like Orro says, we'd kind of need to see the progression of flight guidance modes as annunciated on the FMA to diagnose this. But here's another possibility:...

[Stearmandriver]

I read this in the manual too and wondered about it, as I don't seem to have a problem. You will occasionally see the runway edge lines in Aiii not aligned...

[Stearmandriver]

As an example:

[Stearmandriver]

This is incorrect. Ref will be roughly 1.3Vso. Stick shaker activates prior to Vso, thus the top of the min speed band will be slightly higher than this...

[Stearmandriver]

Nice find, this is what I couldn't remember, if the elevator position moves at all with flap extension. I knew the stab didn't.

This however,...

[Stearmandriver]

Well, but this wasn't at all what he was asking about. He asked about destination airport weather, not cruise and descent winds.

Sometimes,...

Run through the tutorial flight in the documentation. Try not to skip steps that you think you know, but just follow along as perfectly as you can. ...

Yes please! Missing my Multicrew Experience .
