V1.2 Update: Honest Review
-
Wanted to report the same issue as the above. When my landing gear is deployed, speed drops significantly. It ignores the ATS speed and drops well into the stall regime.

Hi everyone,
Just a quick heads-up regarding the new V1.2a patch released today. Unfortunately, the ILS localizer capture bug, where the aircraft banks in the opposite direction of the course, has not been resolved.
I tested this update on the exact same flight and approach where I originally reported the issue (the ILS W for RWY 33 at SBCT). The aircraft exhibited the exact same erratic behavior and turned the wrong way upon capturing the localizer.
To help the development team reproduce and investigate this persistent issue, I will be submitting a full support ticket shortly. I will include my flight logs, screenshots, and the complete SimBrief flight plan so the team can replicate the exact conditions.
Best,

JoãoThanks for the continued feedback. We believe that we have now addressed the remaining ILS localiser capture issues.

@Martyn thanks for your continued effort to bring the Fokkers to a quality level where most people expected this addon to be.

Thank's for the reports.
I will definitely refrain from a purchase until all these significant issues are sorted out.
Best regards

Hi all,
We wanted to provide an update on the issues raised in this thread. Our current development and testing priorities are:• ATS behaviour
• ILS capture and intercept behaviour, particularly from larger intercept angles
• Holds and missed approaches
• Approach insertion and reselection reliabilityWe recognise that these systems are fundamental to IFR and online operations, and that failures during an approach can significantly affect the usability of the aircraft.
We will shortly release v1.3 alongside the Marketplace versions. This update will include improved AFCAS automatic trim, autopilot disconnection following sustained manual stabiliser-trim input, and a variety of other AFCAS and ATS fixes and refinements. We will share the full changelog before release.
To set expectations clearly, v1.3 will not contain all the work currently underway in the priority areas listed above. The Marketplace and non-Marketplace versions are being kept at feature parity, but the Marketplace release work and these systems-development tasks are being handled in parallel.
Several relevant fixes are now approaching completion. These include safeguards intended to prevent an existing route from being lost if an approach or transition cannot be successfully reinserted, together with further improvements to ILS intercept-direction handling. Our testing team is also evaluating a substantial rewrite of the hold and missed-approach logic.
These changes require careful testing across different procedures, intercept geometries and navigation-data cycles. We want to release them as soon as they are ready, while avoiding regressions elsewhere in the FMS and flight-guidance systems.
Thank you for the detailed reports, routes and videos supplied so far. They have been extremely helpful in identifying and reproducing these issues, and we will continue to provide updates as the remaining fixes progress.

Thank's for the update.
However the above issues are absolute no go items and the criticism from the thread-opener why these havn't been detected ( or fixed ) during beta testing is definitely justified.
That question arises for myself too.
Best regards

We are just coming to the end of a full rewrite of the holding pattern logic, and we intend that work to form the basis of the v1.4 update. Included with that will be some improvements to the missed approach logic, but we'll share the exact changes closer to the v1.4 release.

Hey there any news on the v1.4 fixes? I have a quick question regarding the holds. I inserted a random hold at a waypoint as seen on this picture. The red oval was the approximate area the programed hold was supposed to be. The aircraft instead did a zig zag and then gave up on the hold completely. Will this be something that will be fixed in v1.4?
