This is a superb long awaited model, the externals are fantastic and it is great to fly after a little practice with getting the AP to engage without a change in altitude.
It really keeps those pre-FMC flying skills in date, and touch down makes for super eye candy. The add-on FMC is a must, looks good and all the functions are really welcome and useful if not as comprehensive as the full modern generation FMC. This must be one of the most beautiful planes around, and the liveries are great. And wow, those add on liveries arriving here on this forum are magic! There are number of minor issues, most of which have already been identified and discussed in this Forum. Meant constructively, on my aggregated list for SP1 are: Engines are on in procedural start (fuel supply on throttles should be Off) AUTO start leaves lots of work to do on the overhead, not really ready to roll as intimated in the manual No transponder on/off or TA/RA switch (although frequencies can be changed) Erroneous messages re Air Supply - only in the VC, not 2D I get also 'CONFIG' error message, I am certain I am correctly configured LIFT SPLR warning light and inoperative switch - no explanation of the logic Speed is very hard to read in VC - a pop up digital reading would be very welcome Please add any others so that when SP1 arrives the JF 146-200 can without doubt gain an 'Olympic Gold', as the 146-200 was very much a Team GB product!

Agree. Add
1. tighter turning radius needed for smaller airports without taxiways 2. One 2d panel for autopilot 3. Icon for calling various panels in VC 4. load editor with recommended speeds 5. left and right mouse click for faster(or continuous) Hdg course pointer movement 6. Higher resolution N1, 2, 3, 4 gauges for better readibility in vc tc |

you could add: unable to adjust altitude by 1000's with left pilot panel, click spot is not in correct location. My configuration manager "hangs" will not close, doesn't appear to save anything. texerrn

Don't you believe it would be a good time to put all the 146-200 posts in a dedicated section. We, the purchasers are trying to tell of our findings, observations etc. but stuff is getting sent all over the place.

If you do have any suggestions or want to report issues with the product, please make sure to report them properly in addition to posting here: http://www.justflight.com/support-contact
I have created a new forum section for the 146 and moved all existing topics into it. |
