787-8 Anti Ice not working

Postby meitoma » Sun Oct 24, 2021 12:01 pm

Hello, I´m using FG 2020.3.9 on Win10. If I flying with the 787-8 I and go up to Fl100 or more I should switch on Anti-Ice. If I do this there is nothing to change the view. the cockpit windows is full with ice. Has anyone a solution for me why i´t not working ? Thanks in advance.

Look up on the overhead panel, there is a red button for the RAT (Ram Air Turbine).
Directly above of the RAT is the window heat, 4 buttons in a row.

agreed... what the OP circled on the overhead panel are labeled for the wing and engines... nothing to do with the windows ;)

LNAV is lateral (left/right)... VNAV is vertical (up/down)... not all craft are coded the same...

meitoma :
On 787 is VNAV only fake, not real thing :( No T/C, T/D calculation, plane doesn't follow vertical path with speed constraints on climb or descent phase, no step climb etc. But it is still usable for flight. You need enter waypoint altitude into the route manager and plane will try to follow that vertical path defined by waypoint's altitudes. If You have FMS data, all altitude constraints type AT or ABOVE are parsed as AT and this may lead to the problems in the mountains.
If You want fly with good plane, I strongly recommend A320family.

If I search the A320Family, right side on top, I receive nothing.

What is necessary to download the A320 in the launcher ? Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Enter 320 to the searchbox and press ENTER. If You can't see A320family, then You probably have not initialized default hangar. Click on Add-ons and activate the default hangar.

This is unknown problem for me. Try to search solution on the forum. Or try run FGFS as Administrator.

just click the "Browse" button so you can browse all the craft installed and not... then enter A320 in the search box and press Enter... you should not need to add any catalog at all or do any other strange things...
