Hi.
There will be an update when I post info that it progressed. Probably will be one of the LAST things to do in the Nav Display, and we aren't working on it yet. Don't expect it anytime soon. But thanks for your interest.

I've been taking a development break recently, I turned 18 yesterday (28th), and been busy with my schooling also. When I'm back to it, I'll be continuing my recent FMGS work, hopefully getting it much farther along and possible ready for testing in the dev branch. There may be other fixes in the meantime ;)

Kind Regards,
josh

Tested again, today with screenshots :
Near RTT :

Some seconds after RTT, You can see W751 as active waypoint :

Then tested with Concorde, this a/c perfectly followed route - few seconds after RTT :

BTW, Apls in autumn are beautifull in the FG...

EDIT :
737-800YV skips WI750 too.

The reason it skips is because the turn of 180 deg to the next waypoint must not be possible within the AP thinks its limits are.

http://prntscr.com/lcdwlw

The AP computes when it needs to turn, and since this turn is extremely tight, the system probably thinks it needs alot more time ahead to make it. Once the FMGS system has progressed significantly, I will plan to make the AP track the actual line itself, instead of just the corrected course for the waypoint. Perhaps that helps.

The Concorde doesn't have this issue because it uses the default route manager "overun and turn back" method, which is not done in real life unless specifically required.

In the meantime: http://prntscr.com/lce061
I should clamp this value, it should not advance 508nm away, that is stupid. I will do some tests and find out what the maximum value should be. That should help.

Kind Regards,
Josh

If you have figured out something new, it would seem like a good idea to share your findings to see if they make sense and can be documented accordingly.
Please don't send support requests by PM, instead post your questions on the forum so that all users can contribute and benefit
Thanks & all the best,

Yes, Concorde uses default route manager, but has waypoint prediction based on groundspeed. For low speed is prediction 0 - 1 nm, maximum 10 nm for Mach 2. Default prediction was 0.5 nm and that value was too low for some circling approach or SIDs. I know, Concorde was not builded for tight turns like Corvus Racer...

Isn't this related to my questions regarding fly-over WPTs here?

Yes, it is possible. On my previous test (described at viewtopic.php?p=327040#p327040) routefollow was flawless. But the leg's angles was under 45 degrees.

Sorry for the disappointment -- but I can't work magic! ;)

Thanks to Jonathan's report, I found a issue with the FBW CStar Pitch Logic causing oscillations at high speeds when commanding pitch inputs. It is now fixed!

Kind Regards,

Forgot to mention, the A32X project turned 2 years old last Monday!

Thanks for the continued support everyone!
