Hi,
A couple of problems on my first real flight.
Setup is as follows:
On FS PC:
- P3Dv2.1 w hotfix. Running in Legacy mode using the Estonian Migration tool.
- Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle and Stick managed by FMGS. (worked well)
- Opus Wx
- FMGS 32.3 OCHD, AP/FBW, CPT FPD, CPT ND, E/WD, SD, Brakes, DDRMI, Clock, Sound, ECAM Logic
On laptop:
- FMGS 32.3 FCU, Sound, CPT MCDU, and a number of others.
- FSInn (Vatsim Connection)
Route: EKCH-EKBI, 22R ODN1C ODN LOKSA ILS27 (Cruise FL160)
I handflew the flight following the FD.
Three problems:
1- The descent showed Alt Constraint -9999 for a number of late fixes on the route, and did not allow a vertical constraint to be inserted.
2- It seemed the system entered Approach phase by itself. I could not select this.
3- The FS, as well as the E/WD showed flaps and slats extending step by step to FULL, however the speed tape did not recognize this and the A Floor protection took over, keeping the airspeed at 220 kts on short final.
Supplementary question.
4 - Both Joystick and Throttle are managed by the FMGS software. How do I let non allocated buttons and axis pass through to FSUIPC and/or P3D?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks for your help
/Stephen
