Altitude arc / N8244L

[Black Square]

Are you referring to the radar altimeter dial? If not, I'm afraid you will have to be a little more specific. N8244L is not currently included among the aircraft in the package, but I may round out the group with all the currently airworthy aircraft at a future date.

[Black Square]

I stand corrected! N8244L is ready to take to the skies when you are!

@Black-Square

I mean the little arc shown on the ND map which indicates where you reach the dialed in altitude.

I have just purchased. Thank you so much for bringing us such an awesome aircraft!

I was hoping for Tim. Top notch quality!

Thank you Tim!

Also called Altitude Range Banana (in VS mode).

Yes, the banana would be great.
As an alternate, you can use the vnav page and input an altitude for a waypoint and it will give you the required vertical speed to hit that waypoint.

@Black-Square Do you have any plans for adding the „banana“?

[Black Square]

I was unaware of this feature, since it's not in any of the documentation, and I hadn't spotted it until it was pointed out here. While it might seem simple to "just add the banana", I would need to ask one of the owners to video its behavior and the exact circumstances that trigger it. I could also make up some behavior that seems reasonable, but I know none of us would want that

Understood. Thanks for the explanation Nick.
