Flight director on DC 8-50 to 60 series and mach gauge on the dc 8-73 is the latest bugs to fix actually.
Filght director only not work in GPS\FMC mode HDG and ILS and another functions always works, this gauge is not fully working but works. Mach gauge is just put an inop warning, this gauge is not necessary for operational use in 73F. Just Flight feel free to adopt some of these corrections in the official distribution of the DC 8

All auxiliary flight directors controls have inoperative warnings, unfortunately is the maximum I can do at that point, the correct would be to simplify the controls or just remove them, since they are not present in these series. Code of the FD compiled in the vc model in 50 to 70 series need fix: Flight director mode: (%((L:fd_mode_switch, number))%{case}%{:0}Off%{:1}GA%{:2}Heading%{:3}AuxNav%{:4}Backcourse%{:5}Nav%{end}) (M:Event) 'RightSingle' scmp 0 == if{ (L:fd_mode_switch, enum) ++ 6 min (>L:fd_mode_switch, enum) 1 (>L:lightrotary_switch,number) } (M:Event) 'LeftSingle' scmp 0 == if{ (L:fd_mode_switch, enum) -- 0 max (>L:fd_mode_switch, enum) 1 (>L:lightrotary_switch,number) } } (L:fd_mode_switch,enum) 6 == if{ 0 (>L:fd_mode_switch, enum) } (L:fd_mode_switch,enum) 3 == if{ 1 (>L:ap_select_knob, bool) } els{ 0 (>L:ap_select_knob, bool) } Flight director 1 (%((L:ah_flightd1_switch, bool))%{if}on%{else}off%{end}) (L:ah_flightd1_switch,bool) ! (>L:ah_flightd1_switch,bool) (L:ah_flightd2_switch,bool) if{ 0 (>L:ahflightd2_switch,bool) } 1 (>L:button_switch,number) Flight director 2 (%((L:ah_flightd2_switch, bool))%{if}on%{else}off%{end}) (L:ah_flightd2_switch,bool) ! (>L:ah_flightd2_switch,bool) (L:ah_flightd1_switch,bool) if{ 0 (>L:ah_flightd1_switch,bool) } 1 (>L:button_switch,number)

Tested this and indeed is a great temporary fix for the low fps when turning or banking the plane, but if the old and slow original hsi is fixed that would be fantastic. This seems to be a not so complex fix that could be released in not much time by the developers as just a hotfix without all the hassle of assembling a whole new sp package installer... just a thought.
Many thanks and well done Nicholas! |

This is a great fix Nicholas, thanks for the work.
This is for the DC-8-50 so far: The only thing I have noticed was the HSI does not display the VOR radial (it only dials the direction of the radial, not the actual location of the radial) - it does show the glide slope correctly, though. Was I missing something in the installation? I used the freeware EADI 73F package.
