D) What's New
This patch will correct some minor anomalies in
the systems simulations.
1.
Autobrakes can now be set to "RTO" whether IRS
aligned or not.
2.
The memory limit of 100 navaids per sector has
been "bypassed" as follows: If the aircraft is
below FL200 the receiving range of long-range
navaids is reduced. So, more memory can be
allocated for "secondary" terminal navaids. Vice
versa, when above FL200, the memory is primarily
reserved for long-range navaids in far distances,
and secondary low power navaids may not be
received if memory full.
3.
Unwanted climb with speed on elevator during
VNAV descent with MCP speed intervention:
This anomaly is now supposed to be eliminated
("IDLE" mode will automatically re-engage when
required).
4.
Some "fine adjustments" have been made in the
VNAV submode routines to improve take-off and
approach operations.
5.
Now, during VNAV climb, the A/T mode annunciation
ALWAYS reads "THR REF".
6.
When starting a FLCH descent the A/T mode
annunciation now initially reads "THR" before
changing to "HOLD".
7.
Cruise waypoints on the LEGS pages no longer
allow speed or altitude constraints. Like in the
real FMC, any attempt to make a large font entry
on a waypoint that belongs to the CRUISE phase
of the flight will trigger an INVALID ENTRY
message. Only altitudes with an "S" suffix can
be entered (for better fuel/ETA calculations).
8.
When "CLB" was the thrust limit during the CRUISE,
VNAV will now change the limit to "CRZ" as soon as
VNAV DESCENT is activated.
9.
Altitude capture with MCP "V/S" mode now keeps
the white "SPD" or "THR" light on the MCP
illuminated if it was active before.
10.
MCP "THR" and "SPD" can no longer be deselected by
a second button push. Now either another mode must
be selected or the A/T must be disconnected.
11.
IRS "Time To Align" indication is now active
even when IRS position has not yet been entered.
12.
"ENTER IRS POSITION" message is displayed when
a "full" IRS alignment is completed, and the IRS
position has not yet been entered or the position
disagrees with the computed position by more than
1° latitude.
13.
When autosequencing an LNAV route waypoint,
any waypoint entered in 4L on PROG 1/2 page
("ENROUTE WPT") was accidently "autosequenced"
to the next waypoint as well. This bug is
now eliminated.
14.
The Flight Director command bars are now
automatically removed when "ROLLOUT" is engaged
during Autoland operations.
15.
Fuel XFeed Valves 2+3: Valves now remain closed
as long as flaps are out of up, whether aircraft
on ground or not.
16.
Fuel Gravity Transfer Tank 1+4: The transfer
now remains balanced also in coordinated turns.
The bank angle and slip must now be "excessive"
until gravity transfer stops on one side.
17.
Hydraulic Demand Pumps are now also activated
when moving just the Fuel Control Switch to
Cutoff, even if engine RPM is momentarily
sufficient and no other failures have occured.
18.
Gear lever can now be placed in OFF position
also when aircraft on ground.
19.
Wheel well fire due to brake overheat in a
retracted gear: In this case the EICAS message
screen wasn't automatically "refreshed" to
display the fire message (Recall button
required). This bug is now eliminated.
20.
EICAS engine vibration indicator reads "N1"
instead of "LPT" if Rolls-Royce engines are
installed.
21.
In a "cold and dark" cockpit the secondary
EICAS select switches now remain inactive so
that no "cheating" update screen flicker
occurs on the blank EICAS screen.
22.
"73 tonnes anomaly" on aircraft with CF6 engine
struts (smaller tanks): Entering 73000 kgs on
the "Preflight Items" menu generated a fuel
disagree message and only 65800 kgs in the
tanks. This error on the Instructor's Page has
been eliminated.
23.
EICAS messages for "Oxygen Low" couldn't be
reset on the Instructor's Page. This bug is
now eliminated.
24.
The video player generated a "ghost" mouse
click in the very first playback of a sim
session, causing an unwanted, non-recorded
click on the TOGA button etc. in the first
second. This bug is now supposed to be
eliminated.
25.
Instructor's Page: ATIS check box "per Text"
/ "per Sound" selections can now be saved in
situation files.
26.
Weather Random function for baro pressure:
The "random range" has been reduced to avoid
excessive pressure changes from area to area.
- No further modifications have been made -
