Latest development takes place in here, but is ported multiple times per week to FGaddon.

why not just update it from the launcher?

Probably due to that a lot of aircraft for one reason or another do not find their way to FGAddon. So in essence, because he simply did not know this: :wink:

Is it just me or is it that whenever I reach the end of the Autopush route, the 777 would turn wildly?

Okay. Apparently I wish I could sent it to you through video because I recorded it. But here is what I did...

I started up as a B777-300ER, and then I would place my pushback nodes (all of which are sharp, with exception to the pushback node the aircraft is concurrently on once the pushback dialog comes up).

The first node (I will call it point A), is behind the aircraft, just where the taxi line of the parking position is about to make its turn to the main taxiway.

The second node (point B) is on the taxiway but still behind the aircraft.

The last node (Point C), is on the taxiway such that once the aircraft reaches Point C, the aircraft would be aligned with the taxiway.

For some reason, once the aircraft reaches point C, the aircraft would begin turning 360º without stopping. So far, it is the only aircraft where I experienced this (I have the A330 installed as well but it does not happen if I reproduce the same pushback route).

As for any other specifications, I am operating on a Mac, with FG Version 2019.1.1.

Try not making node B sharp. The 777 has quite a wide turn radius so if you make all the nodes sharp it might miss a node because the angle is too sharp and the distance between 2 nodes is too short to make the turn possible. It tries to reach node C eventually by doing a 360.

Isaak: There is that property in the autopush config that can be set to the minimum turning radius... if set to the correct value, to tight turns are prohibited.

The 777 received a mayor update that is now available in FGaddon: Legoboyvdlp did a complete Sounds overhaul and did an amazing job doing so! Go listen quickly and let us know what you think. Development takes place here, stable releases can be downloaded via FGaddon (add the development repository to the FlightGear launcher).

Great job on the B-777.
Is it just me or did a code get changed because I no longer see MP traffic on both the map and the PHI map, the radar is okay!!!!
I'm a big fan of the PHI map and I use that on my second screen because it's very helpful when taxing, but I should see the traffic as well. (And yes I enabled other traffic)

I am on FG v2020.1.1, what release will this be fixed? Will it be fixed on the FG side or PHI since PHI is a separate install?

It will be fixed in the upcoming 2020.2 release of flightgear, probably around September.

Hey, idk if anyone has had this issue before or not. I just tried doing a keyword search in the topic using "autothrottle" as the keyword, and nothing came up that related to my issue.

Anyway, when I'm flying at cruising altitude (35,000ft) and I attempt to switch the autothrottle mode from IAS to Mach the autothrottle speed setting suddenly drops to 0kts from 290kts.

I'm running FlightGear 2020.1.3 on a 2014 Mac with Catalina software (specifically, 10.15.5).

Edit: If I keep the AT in IAS mode, then it works fine. The only time it glitches is when I attempt to switch from IAS to Mach.
