  • Raindrops on windscreen

    I believe the behaviour of the raindrops on the windows is connected to airspeed. So as airspeed increases, the rain drops will appear to flow rearwards over the windows and speed up.

    I suspect in this situation, when stationary after pushback, this would have been caused by the wind speed.

    We can reproduce the issue, but the difficulty comes with finding a specific set of steps to reliably reproduce it. it is something we have looked into and is something we would like to get fixed, but without a reliable way of reproducing it, it can quickly turn into a very time-consuming task with little rewards.

  • Why didnt you model the cargo cabin?

    Hi Xender.

    I can’t speak for Just Flight, but in practice it wasn’t possible to walk through the cabin when in the freight mode since there was always a freight net positioned just aft of the fwd vestibule preventing easy access aft. It could be moved aside (not easy), and while you could always look, you didn’t enter as to get down the side of the containers you would have to be very small indeed.

    When carrying horse boxes, pax seats would be positioned aft of the boxes for the grooms and veterinarians.

    Lots of extra fire containment and warning, plus the large rear freight door and the tail support required (NEVER forget the tail support if you want a quiet life!).

  • TMS for approach and final approach

    In service, very, very few pilots used the DSC mode for descent. It is far easier to descend in IAS/Mach with TMS N1 Sync (to achieve the required ROD) and to transit to V/S mode when required, while (of course) observing the minimum N2 limits.

    FYI, for correct target:

    The 146-100 and -200 intermediate cruise speed is 0.65M.

    The 146-300 intermediate cruise speed is 0.67M.

    With AP engaged and ALT HOLD at FL280 and FL290 the total fuel burn would be about 2,000 kg/hr. TMS would normally be used in N1 sync mode during the cruise.

  • SPAD.NEXT and Logitech throttle quadrant

    I have been trying for several hours to make the thrustlevers work with these LVARs but although I do get some sort of movement the thrustlevers seem to jump straight back to the position I have put them at in the virtual cockpit with the mouse. I have made sure that there are no double axis assignments in MSFS2020 or SPAD.NEXT.

    I did notice that there are actually three LVAR variants available once MSFS2020 is running:
    e.g.
    PED_MID_ENG1_THROTTLE
    PED_MID_ENG1_THROTTLE_il
    PED_MID_ENG1_THROTTLE_SHAFT_VC

    Any more suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    We would be happy to work together with FSDT on this if they decided it was something they would like to add to GSX. This would be a decision for FSDT to take though with GSX being their product.

    We currently have an update to the UNS-1 in development and we do have a fix for this procedure included in that. This update will be included in both the 146 and F28 once we have tested and approved it for release.

    Thanks for reporting this. We have replicated this and we'll pass this on to the UNS-1's development team to investigate further.

  • Correct altitude restriction syntax

    Looking at our reference material for the UNS-1 I don't believe this would be possible on the PATH VNAV page. On the real unit, it looks like the VNAV page will only display "@" altitudes (i.e. a fixed altitude for each waypoint). I suspect this is so the UNS-1 can calculate a decent path more easily and doesn't have to factor in if an aircraft is going to be "at or above" or "at and below" a certain altitude at each waypoint.

    In our simulation of the UNS-1, the PATH VNAV is automatically populated with the waypoints and altitude restrictions on a STAR, and we did add up/down arrows to the altitudes as a quality-of-life addition so that users can more easily see any altitude restrictions without references charts.

  • Boarding Stair BUG

    We chose to have the airstairs deployed when the "Start Boarding" option is triggered so that passengers would always be able to board the aircraft regardless of whether the gate has a jetway.

    However, we have logged this on our internal feature request tracker to see if there is a way that we can detect if a gate has a jetway, so that the airstairs only deploy if needed.

  • Low frequency roll oscillations with UNS-1

    It likes to do pitch oscillations too, especially at lower speeds. I flew into EGLC now, and on the last legs of the approach as the plane slows down to 210 and then 185, it becomes a veritable lowrider. GS was completely useless so I had to hand-fly the whole thing. At higher speeds it was perfectly fine.

    In the mean time if the issue is that you have too many company routes and it is hard to find them in the list, you could add a task in windows to clear out that folder once a day (or each time you log in / start your computer etc) so the folder won't fill up with old flight plans

    The beacon lights that we have simulated in the 146 are asynchronous and are based on the type of lights shown in this video: https://youtu.be/WMDocoUILq8?si=WUAZloGVA3SHTpYF&t=187

    I do seem to recall that when we researched this there were different flash sequences from aircraft to aircraft, so we just had to pick one of the sequences for our simulation (we have the type that flashes at different speeds so they go in/out of sync with each other).

    We will log a request to increase the brightness of the beacon lights on out internal feature request tracker.

    Yep, it works when i enter 07000, a bit strange and unnecessary complication, but it works.

    You are right Mark, described issue does not prevent from using UNS, only visually looks weird.
