FSP and PSS Airbus landing lights

[Dutch64]

Btw, the link to that page i saw is
http://forum.commerciallevel.com/viewforum.php?f=6

I have no idea about how good or bad it is though

[pegase]

Yes, it is the same as A320 to change TA with 330/340, but it would be nice to set it permanently in a config file

In fact, transition altitude depends on the place where you are. FsP use an hard coded TA at 18 000. PSS gets the TA from the database used for the
MCDU. In this part, PSS is more realistic than FsP. Anyway to avoid useless penalties I force them back in the MCDU to 18 000 when setting departure
and destination..

[Dutch64]

True but TA is not hard coded in FsP, you can change it in the setup options. However, it will be one and the same value for both arrival and
destination. It would be really good if it would be two independent values, maybe in a next version?

[Dutch64]

And about the landinglights, I stand corrected....... Without knowing it i have been flying all that time with the light penalties disabled But
that one is not in the more_option.cfg so i completely forgot about it.
I would like also to fly without any penalty disabled but some are impossible because of for example certain add on sceneries which make fsp think
you're off the runway while you're not and of course the famous crash detection is disabled

Waooohhh!! A340-600 !! it looks great with nice details

But for the panel, it looks like they have taken most of the gauge from Ken Mitchell. I Recognize the switches of the Autopilot, they look
really the same... also EICAS looks quiet the same and overhead panel too..

MCDU seems to be present, but does it really work ?

We'll see.. they speak about launching the bird next week ??

And for your lights penalty disable... it explains why you have no problems !!!

[Dutch64]

I think Ken is the developer they have for the panels so it would explain then (At least, i saw his name once). Too bad PSS never really upgraded
their airbus series, their panels still look wonderful...

Ouuh... sorry for the hard code....

Anyway this is not a bif issue for me, I change the TA to 18000 in the PERF page and basta

The wond changed when I approached Montreal and once again, the ATC assigned me another runway. As none was already programmed in the MCDU, I just
enterd it once given by the ATC. However, I had to remove some WP, even with such planes like these
it would have been unpossible to follow the sharp turns initially given in the MCDU

Waooohhh!! A340-600 !! it looks great with nice details

Please Patrick, post the link for the A340-600

Thanks for the link

These views are quite impressive. I did not find a lot about the features, what is implemented or not in matter of flight system. But these
visuals are simply piece of art and

Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage,
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois."

No lie! If your song
matches up to your plumage,
You'll be the Phoenix of the forest dwellers!"

Understand; I hope the sounds will be at the level of the visual :;

Wait and see for the final release.. and the comments of the first users

[Dutch64]

Sounds good but i hope you can setup the mcdu manualy also, not just by importing some msfs flightplan.... (Well, maybe it's just me but i like
programming those fmc/mcdu's )

[patrickzfr]

me too !!

[pegase]

Thanks for the link Patrick, it looks nice. Just a bit about the meaning of "Limited function FMC". Like you Dutch and Patrick, i
feel just importing a predefined flightplan is a bit too "basic"
