Bug in 777 (All variations)

Postby flightsimdude111 » Tue Jul 17, 2012 3:53 pm

I found a bug with the 777's from all the release candidates. In the startup tutorial for all 777's included, the tutorial says to turn on the autostart switch on the overhead panel. The thing is.....that button isn't clickable. Also, the manual in the help menu says to turn on the hydraulic pumps. Those switches aren't clickable either!
Thats the only bug I found so far.

Seems an easy problem to fix. I might not be the maintainer, but it seems a pretty easy job to fix.

I didn't know the manual engine start was degraded.
I will fix it and tutorial, manual too.
Thanks for your report.

Could you point out where it's written? I can not find.

Edit:Never mind. I will fix.

Sometimes the craft leaves the perfect glideslope shortly before touchdown.
I watched this while landing in EDDF. The craft did a small right turn and
left the GS. This happened several times.
In the past, the AP was disengaged a few feet before touchdown.
Now it keeps activated and turns off somewhere while rollout. Is this
correct?

Are you using my nav.dat.gz?

Autoland was not implemented at that time. The latest version has autoland. If you don't want to autoland then manually disconnect autopilot before touch down.

No, I don't use the nav.dat.gz. Should I?

If you want to do ILS approach, yes you should.
