I just tried re downloading TG from my Just Flight account, and it's version is only 1.1.1.1. But I'm already up to 1.1.1.2 in my actual install. What is correct? -Bob

Before you compile untick use alternative liverys and see what happens, I never use alternative livery`s so I don't get it.

@Capt-Quirk Thanks for that reminder. I had missed that issue. Of course this is just a XP11 beta - meant for testing. So back to the normal rendering until all resolved in the final X-Plane real update.

@cmcloughlin said in 747 Classic Progress: I just pray that focus goes into ensuring the flight dynamics and ground handling model are correct The flight dynamics base was the calculated figures for the early 747 from Roskam's paper, "Airplane Flight Dynamics and Automatic Flight Controls Part I". Further to that, a thorough reading (multiple times!) and application of information therein of "Handling the Big Jets, third edition" by D.P. Davies (chapter 9). Those were the two primary sources, alongside a rather large selection of original manuals and flightcrew's notebooks. With regard to the ground handling, the undercarriage is being coded seperately to the flight model because it is so complex - should resolve the usual problems inbuilt to the sim that we often see in that area. I hope it'll be close enough! Paul.

great news. thank you.

Agree with this one

The new TG download today showing version 1.1.1.2 the same as the November version.

"I note that you have refunded the amount I paid for this software this afternoon for which I thank you. But I did not ask you to do that and did not expect it." Not sure what that is all about. The refund would have been provided by our support team. I will see what made them think a refund was necessary under the circumstances.

I worked at Boeing my entire career and was in Commercial Flight test nearly the whole time. I was a system test engineer. We designed the installation of the test equipment required to gather test data required for certification of the aircraft. One of the planes I was assigned to was the first 747-200 built and was used for flight certification. It was N747200 I believe the first test flight was on April 15 1969, at least the first flight I was on, and it lasted for 4 Hours and 33 minutes. I subsequently flew 22 more flights. The last being on December 18 1969. During that time I accumulated 80 hours and 8 minutes. I was then moved over to the 747F RR201 where I had another 30 hours of flight time. For old time memories I just might have to get this plane when it is released. Tom

Probably the old 'realistic coefficients against flightsim weather' problem, set turbulence and wind effects to around 15% in ActiveSky and you should see a significant improvement. Cheers, Paul.

I am sorry, I forgot to update this discussion as I had a reply from the support: I just had to right-click the range button to increase the range. This is quite unusual when you have a button with 2 arrows, which is why I dodn't find the trick by myself, but it works. In addition, it is not consistent with the standard Garmin GPS 500 that is in the 2D popup window. Anyway, it works, I just regret I can't have the terrain display like on the standard GPS 500. Regarding the HSI problem you are talking about, I don't have it. I often fly using GPS guidance and the HSI works well, showing deviation from the programmed route. You still have to manually turn the needle to adjust it to the next waypoint bearing, but this is not a bug, it is normal and realistic. Eric

@Martyn said in Flight Progress Displays: A quick update on this - we are working on including an option for the later style of FPD. Awesome! That will add some cool differences between models. Can’t wait to see photos of the updated models. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. We'll include the older PanAm livery too.

Thanks Rob!

Yes, you're right, I should try to disable the panel state saving. I regret this because the idea is good, I implemented the same feature on the Wilco Airbus Series I developed, it was very convenient even if ti was working with FS2004 at that time. I agree with you, the oil consumption is far more than the real thing. I used to fly the TB-9 Tampico, the small brother of the TB-10, on which I passed my PPL and I confirm it didn't use so much oil Eric
