    I had the same on an approach on EKBI ILS RW09.
    Using Autoland the Aircraft landed to the right of the Runway.
    Both Nav radios tuned to the ILS and Course set to the correct Course.

    Hey Mark,
    Nope I treated just as I would an approach with say the A320 or 737, I had the descent in and followed the LNAV path controlling speed via IAS - I am wondering if it because it was a sorry not sure on the technical term, but a "teardrop" style approach even though still ILS rather than a straight in. If the FMS got confused somewhere but as far as I could tell the waypoints sequenced ok.
    Only at the point in the video was the first attempt at either VORLOC or APP button pressed, I shall have to try another airport that has an traditional approach.

    I'll have to read through the manual again in more depth see if I missed a step in the approach phase.
    Thanks again for the reply and such - I am still rather basic in hand fly approaches so rather dependant on ILS haha noobie skills indeed!

    That's cool. We only need to do it once hopefully.

    I'm getting weird stuff like this too... AP (red)alert keeps coming up for no apparent reason.

    I'm always changing time and Season during a flight.

    @andrewd251 Thank you for reporting this. We have been able to replicate an issue where pressing the PRV/NXT keys on an empty STORED FLIGHT PLAN page can cause the FMS to freeze. This has been logged on our internal bugs tracker for our development team to investigate.

    @Mark , perfect. Thanks for the clarification. I know I'm well out of the norm from most users but the sims IFR ATC is awful and was one of the reasons for my limited use of the 146. I think I will replace it with the RJ now.

    @rj Thank you for the feedback. It's one of those very specific things that we could never find an answer for in the FCOMs, so we based the logic on what we have seen in other aircraft. We've logged that on our internal bugs tracker to look into.

    Thank you for the feedback. With regards to the ground effect feedback, I don't believe this is something we have been fed back from the flight models in the 146 or RJ, but we will continue to monitor the forums for any other feedback. It is worth considering that a lightly loaded RJ70 will likely be more affected by ground effect than an RJ100 at maximum landing weight though.

    It may also be worth experimenting with the "Turbulence" option in MSFS (located at MSFS Options > Assistance Options > User Experience). Setting this to LOW or MEDIUM can lead to more accurate wind conditions within the simulator at low altitudes (this is based on real pilot feedback from our testing teams).

    @flightstrike

    Hi. No ... as auto-throttle was on and autoland, I'd reduced them 'physically' to idle.

    But heh, it was my first autoland so I need to read the manual a bit more.

    And I use a 3rd Party Cardiff EGFF so I know elevation and ILS angles can be 'problematic'.

    Prolly a good idea to test it on a stock airport.

  • Pressurization

    Has anyone else had problems with pressurization issues. I have tried everything to get the plane to pressurize. I have packs on, app air on. I've also tried all engine switches on and app air off, im also in auto. But I can never pressurize. Cabin air is always the same as altitude. Also outflow switch is normal, but the outflow valves are always open. As the green lights are one. Am I missing something? Thanks

    Page 18 under Displays and Controls:

    Row 2 indicates cabin two ambient pressure differential; I assume this is supposed to be cabin to ambient?

    Quick update on my first point. The oscillation in pitch happens in both lvl change and in vs whether beginning a descent or climb. It seems like the aircraft over compensates the fpm of climb or descent and then tries to correct itself but overcorrects. Thus it begins to oscillate up and down.

    During takeoff and initial climb, the flight directors should indicate the pitch required to climb at the V2+10 speed.

    We did come across situations in testing where spiking in the user's throttle axis can cause the flight directors to indicate too great a pitch angle during takeoff and initial climb, but we worked around this by adding the "A/T THROTTLE LOCK" option on the EFB which disconnects the users throttles from the aircraft whenever the A/T is active (A/T green on the PFD).

    Something I would recommend trying is to load into the aircraft on the runway. Ensure the "A/T THROTTLE LOCK" is enabled on the Aircraft page's Configuration Menu. Advance your physical throttles to 100% (fully forward), then trigger TOGA in the aircraft (click the hidden click spot on the bottom left screw on the captain's VHF NAV radios). Release the parking brakes and takeoff. With the A/T THROTTLE LOCK active, and your throttles in the fully forward position, this should negate any spiking in your throttles axis and allow the flight directors to display the correct pitch angle.

    Hope that helps.
