I think they will do it. I can't wait to keep focus on it, checking engine vibration, checking oil levels, checking oil pressures etc..

Same issue, I've tried 3 or 4 times. Haven't been able to fly yet. I haven't tried restarting the sim, I just fly something else.

said in Some strange behaviors with the Fokker 100: Hello! Firstly, congratulations for the amazing aircraft! I found some odd behaviors while flying the F100. Thrust oscillates very fast (and little) while using A/THR. AP takes a long time to follow the horizontal line of the FD while climbing. Speed drops down a lot. Sometimes when I load the aircraft, I don't have any APU bleed pressure at all. If I use the EFB to go straight to the TO configuration, it gives me bleed pressure, but when I shut down the engines it goes to 0 again. "XPNDR OFF" is in front of the brown side of the artificial horizon. Thank you all in advance!

(Slaps forehead). Yep, gust lock wasn't unlocked. Should've read the manual. Thanks for responding.

@Veeze Thanks! Sorry everyone, the reversers do actually work!, even with the default calibration reset. The issue was that I was testing them in a cold and dark state, and for some reason the reversers only work when the aircraft is fully operational with the engines running. Thanks for your help!

Yes you did the correct thing thing by requesting LANUX1F at LOWW. Re. RNAV with vertical guidance approaches. I read up on the AOC, Fokker call it an FMS approach. on appropriately equipped aircraft you're supposed to enter the MDA on the FMS APPR page (doesn't exist on the modeled variant) then with NAV/PROF armed it's supposed to descend down the profile to the MDA. My first attempt at an RNAV approach into YBRM the other night was interesting. It wasn't selectable on the STAR page so I manually entered the waypoints and the altitude constraints. I tried to fly it in NAV/PROF but it went below profile and was about to bust the MSA before I intervened and hand flew it visually to the runway. From now on with RNAV approaches I'll fly it with lateral guidance using the higher minima and descent with V/S selected. Seems to work much better.

I have some requests about the livery organization and naming scheme (in 2024), as well. IMO it would be a better experience for the user if the listing started with the airline name (AKA Malev | F70, or F70 | Malev), followed by the rest of the information -- ALL of the F70 listings are "Integral Airstairs | Large Cargo Door," so that's not the thing that sets them apart -- the airline is. And if you don't already know the livery on sight, you have to hover over each livery and wait until the text side scrolls far enough to see what that particular livery is. This isn't Just Flight's fault, it's Asobo's for their poor UI design. But as a customer, I'd just like it fixed. Please merge the Just Flight liveries into the other liveries, so they don't show as two separate variants. They're the same aircraft. Again, this is a problem created by Asobo's bad UI -- but I doubt they're going to fix it any time soon. I understand that Asobo has created challenges for devs with a new file structure and an unfriendly UI, but we customers are the ones stuck in the middle trying to sort through a mess of variants and liveries. It's not a good experience.

@kityatyi I doubt they develop something that may not be found on any current operator. Alliance out of Australia is the largest fleet of F70 and F100 at about 35 total airframes. I cannot find any info on if they have been upgraded. There is only one upgrade provider I can find, Fokker Services Group. You have a great old school aircraft that you can fly old school approaches on. Take advantage. Also, remember that such upgrades would have cost a few million dollars for operators and it will cost JF time to do. Like the real-world operators, you have to ask yourself if you would be willing to pay for such an upgrade. If JF were to do it, they may not charge anything for it, however when asking for such detailed development it should be something you find worth paying for.

Just wanted to share a very specific example of the holding pattern issues some of us have been discussing, in case anyone else can replicate it or has seen something similar. I was flying the ILS X approach for RWY 15 down here at my home base in Curitiba (SBCT). I executed a missed approach, and initially, the LNAV tracked the profile perfectly towards the CT171 missed approach holding fix. [image: 3de3bc2c-3012-46b5-9c47-7134d52ddd81.png] [image: 3865af24-bb59-4c42-8f6a-1c523e06ca42.png] However, upon reaching CT171, the system completely failed to establish the hold. Even worse, instead of initiating the published left-hand turns, the aircraft inexplicably banked to the right. After that wrong turn, it completely ignored all time constraints for the holding legs and essentially just flew in endless, uncoordinated circles. [image: bd98a93f-deb6-4892-96c5-7bb415cfd41e.png] It seems the LNAV logic completely breaks down during this specific transition. Bizarre.

This is realistic when on the ground. Both the F28 and the F100 were designed for temperate Northern European summers and struggled here in the US, especially in the south. If anything, I think the packs are actually too powerful once you take off. Today the cabin was 34C when I started the APU and it only got down to 31C by takeoff. After takeoff by around 4000 feet it was 19C. Would've been warm a lot longer!

@Crabby said in Spad Next snippet for WinCtrl FCU+Left EFIS: Tried to message you on Discord but it says your not accepting friends requests. My discord is : mark.w.crabtree I have friend request blocked because of spam, but I accept DMs. Just sent you a message.

So do we need to uninstall the old version or install over the top? Will previously installed liveries need to be reinstalled or not? What about customised camera view? Perhaps, in the absence of an email to customers, a pinned message with these answers should be made available?

Initial IRS input is very important for the Fokker and the gate coords have to be accurate. It will degrade if there are no VOR/DMEs in areas. You can remotely tune if you believe you are in range of one to help it regain accuracy. Without a GPS/GNSS bolted on like models still flying IFR work today. It'll lose its enroute accuracy in remote areas

I noticed when installing the F70 and F100 that it contains SID and STAR data for pretty much every airport in the world. Look in the aircraft directory under \Work\NavData\Proc I would guess that their connection with Navigraph data is not finalized and maybe this is a workaround that will eventually be removed? Depending on how old the data is that they put in, it would not be surprising if some things in current Navigraph data are missing or different than in the FMS.
