Just to clarify my setup so that equal comparisons maybemade. I am running 6 computers, 3 for driving 1080 projectors at 4.4 Ghz,
1 at 4.0 Ghz driving the Server with FMGS and the controlsetc.
1 at 4.0 Ghz driving the 3 Mip screens (FD/Nav) + 1 MCDU.
1 at3.6 Ghz driving the RMCDU + Clock.
All running W7 64 bit.

At this stage I am still seeing the vertical chasing atlevel cruise altitude no matter what settings I try. I have even re-installedGMGS 3 times to check for any faults.

Mainly testing with just the 2 computers to save from anyerrors, which is a little quicker, although I am getting sick of doingInstrument take-offs.

I still feel that there maybe a problem somehow in thesoftware, but hard to nail it down.

Hi

If you get above 60fps, then it is a good idea to lock the FPS at 60, because above that there is too much data sent from P3D and it somehow overflows the AP module.

With B50.0 today I experienced several engine start failures after ignition and turning up to app. 27% N2, thereafter automatic Crank and then automatic reignition, which succeded. Wow! Is that a new feature? What leads to the first ignition failure, as it does not appear every time, but in case reproducable for both engines?

After about a dozen of normal engine starts this happened to me yesterday for the first time as well.

Oh yes, these ones you say... I see
Do you know why P3D counts these as payload, but Topcat as DOW?
What about real A/C?

Hello,


These payloads must be separated in P3D, JeeHell FMGS needs this separation first in its internal calculations, after which they are reintegrated by the software..
I don't know more, neither in JeeHell software nor in the real A/C...

As promised, I made a flight today using TOPCAT (and ToTom's TXT file in TOPCAT) : AP and managed mode are completely stable (tested at 4000 ft / FL130 / FL220, CRZ at FL350).

That did the trick.......!! Thank you JL, that ended up being so simple after a week of trying everything.

I normally, I guess like most others, we are always trying to get every FPS out of the flight sim to make it smooth, that one forgets that other things are happening. One indicator I noticed are the Triangle elevator indicators on the F/CTL page getting a very slight jitter when an overload occurs.


Many thanks...............Brian W.

I just want to say a big thanks Jean Luc, for one more update.

Question
While climbing PFD's QNH indicator starts to blink after passing TA 5000 ft.
While descending same blinking (STD indicator this time) when passing 5000 ft although I entered on APPR page > TRANS FL 70 (e.g.). Is this correct? Or shouldn't STD start blinking in this case as early as the aircraft passed FL70?
Thanks!

Hi,

can someone please validate: if I press PEDALS DISC (via Joystick Input) during FLT CNTR Check the Trim went to -4.0. Reproduceable on CP and FO Side.
Any ideas?
