Hi fellows,
And yet another failed attempt to reach the HST, ran again into some problems, lost one engine, one GPC and a leak in the Helium manifold B. These failures scenarios are really annoying, I should definitely stop using them
But they allow to take nice shots, here we go with a timelapse of the TAL:

@Gingin. The flight Florida-Spain in 20 minutes went well, but I ran into problems into the HAC.
I have tried to follow the diamond, ignoring for a while vert and horiz indicators, and, I am sure now, the diamond has lost its vertical guidance compared to our last stable release. The horizontal guidance of the diamond seems to work but it is doing funny things, as not be up-to-date with the predictor around the circle on spec 50. Notice that I am running with real sim to maximum, and, as you can check on the time-lapse, it seems that errors build up very fast, and are quite large, even when the TACAN is captured.
More dramatically, while plunging onto the runway in CSS, I got a message "body flaps trail" and then lost the ability to roll. Switching back to AUTO, the roll was there, then back to CSS, locked horizontal as before. Then I've checked if my joystick was really sending aileron discretes in the FG joystick menu and it was. Only the CSS roll was locked, pitch was doing fine. This is really weird and no message in the console about this!
I'll try to fly again one of those with perfect guidance to check.
Cheers,
Chris.
