    @b3lt3r I flew my Embraer Bandeirante this morning with the 530/430 option and it performed just like WTT told me. Flew the RVAV approach all the way down. I agree it must be Just Flights AP choice. However the GLIDE button could be for Glide Slope and Glide Path. I guess I will have to beg for this GPS to be fully implemented.

    @b3lt3r No rush... I found the culprit. I had the mod by JayDee that replaces the 530 with the 750 from PMS. That mod somehow changes the pop out to the WXR screen, I disabled that and now I got the 530 pop out.

    @b3lt3r No, that’s not enabled.
    Usually I hear all sounds, just yesterday, none until landing phase.

    @mark thanks for your reply. Meanwhile I found the issue. It was the better bravo lights add-on. Removed it and since then everything seems to work.

    @martyn like the challenge to tune the correct NDB frequency and check the reception level! Not easy yes, but that gives some charm to our F28

  • Erratic behavior in PITCH and HT hold modes

    Just did an other flight tonight, same problem with autopilot only during initial climb and until 10000/15000ft. First when engaged PA after takeoff, nose diving and aircraft descent to -500ft/min. Just after nose up with a rate of 4000ft/min. So impossible to accelerate to 250kts. When engaging HT to try to stop climb and accelerate, aircraft refuse to nose down, still climbing and crossing 10.000 ft at the speed of 200kts. I switch off autopilot, level off, accelerate to 270tks and re-engage PA with IAS mode. At this time is becoming good with the PA until the end of flight.
    Without GPS, community folder empty except only using GSX and some files link to navigraph. Pitch switch and PA activation use via joystick shortcuts.

    @kamow52 Look above were the white light is, on the right side you will see a small button. Press it and it will switch on-off the dom light. Very diffcult to find in the first atempt.

    @dadgametime
    No doubt (qualified guess) F28 used the same INS system as Fokker F50. (licensed tech course on F50).
    Calibrating updating INS during flight, the system preferred at least 2 DME for triangular calculation, secondary VOR direction. Least preferred was GPS. Great to pinpoint a place on earth but not altitude. The slant range is better with DME/VOR calculation for altitude.

    For me - I keep the F28 as is - and wait for F70 and F100.

    @piedmonitor are the VOR needles moving for you when you turn the knob on the glarshield? I´m using the bravo throttle too and the needles does not turn when I turn the knob.

    @martyn
    Yes, my apologies, my mouse is lagging on another aircraft.

    My mouse just started doing this and the F28 was the plane I was flying at the time.

    This is going to be a "fun" one to troubleshoot.
    I have so many different addons.
