146 Professional

Does anyone know how to update the FMC data?

@djoser The FMC shown in the video you linked to is the default X-plane one, not the new 'Custom' one that v1.2 of the 146 uses by default. This video: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/244520-tutorial-video-series/&tab=comments#comment-2253691 shows how to use the Custom one and also towards the start how to switch between the two types or remove the FMC altogether.

The airac supplied is out of date so the message is correct. Presumably an up to date one would have cost extra and would be out of date itself anyway within a month.

Hello,
Because the BAE146 does not have autothrottle or FADEC, the THRUST LIM page is blocked out on the 146 as this is not required. Thrust is managed through the TMS system.

I took a flight with v1.2 yesterday and the callouts were working fine. I had missing callouts in the past, usually because I forgot to turn on the landing lights :(

The list of conditions was mentioned here:

The requirements for the call-outs to be active are:

Landing lights on

Strobe lights on

Aircraft is on the ground

Throttles are increased past a certain threshold

If you are unable to hear the call-outs despite all of those requirements being met, please submit a support ticket so we can investigate further.

If you let Just Flight support know about the problem you are experiencing they can look into it and see if they can ascertain what causes it.

@dipperdolphin Hello,
VNAV can be engaged at/above 400ft AGL by pressing the VNAV mode selector. Yes you're correct. The MCP altitude will effectively over-ride a VNAV descent until you move it to a lower altitude. The MCP altitude is often set to the first altitude restriction on the STAR at this point.

How do you get the GTN to work please. From the plugin menu it is grayed out. Saving flight plans in UFMC format from Navigraph is a challenge. Using Little Navmap to convert them atm.

@geordie Ah that is a pity to hear, thanks!

@thorben246 I second this

@dipperdolphin There's an update here on the X-Plane.org forum: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/250189-update-on-update/

According to the custom FMC announcement, yes, it will have VNAV:

These are probably the sorts of things that you'd need to contact Just Flight support about.

You can scroll on it with the mouse wheel to make it opaque. I'm not sure if it fully disappears on the lowest level, but it is certainly much less distracting.

Thank you Sirtopper
