Re: Problem with Glass Cockpit Windows
The PM 737-800 flight model is not very good.
instead of gliding down with idle throttles at descent it keeps them at 50-60%.
workaround : disable AT --- manually pull throttles to idle --- re-engage AT
When descending the speeds increases instead of being stable and one has to use the speedbrake almost the whole descent.
An autoland will not work correctly : after capturing the GS the PM AP and default 737 AP then interfear with eachother , even with the CDU set to PM AP.
Result : bouncing up/down and speed to high. No normal autoland possible .
AT at GS makes the approach better but still it is difficult to maintain lower speeds.
Four years ago a new build solved this but the issue re-appeared with newer builds,
Twenty days ago I posted to tickets and also sent an email to PM. Never had any answer.
So I started working on the issues myself. I compared the airfiles and aircraft.cfg files from the default 737 , the PM 737 and the Ifly 737.
After days of testing I cam up with a flightmodel that descents way better and what is capable of following the glideslope very good ( manual thrust at low speed, no Autoland ).
If you want to try sent me a pm and I will sent you a dl link from WeTransfer.
