[ Closed ] v.1.2b3 distributive (Windows 7/8, MAC OS) (Page 2 of 4)

For me it works very well. Could it have something to do with the scroll wheel sensitivity? Are you on mac or windows?

I think this is a bug, but please correct me if Im wrong (which I might very well be...):

- iMac 27 El capitan beta 4
- xPlane 10.40b7
- Saitek Yoke
- Logitech G5 mouse + Trackpad (mac)

When taking off, the Navigation Display says that the AP is following runway track (picture 1), and this persists even after TO. The plane will not follow the preset flight path which the ND displays correctly. NAV mode is in blue beneath RWY tracking in green. How to activate Nav mode? Ive tried clicking the HDG knob, no avail. Am I doing something wrong? I believe I am doing exactly the same as I have always done, and it worked normally with beta 2 which I flew 1-2 days ago..

Pictures are in order. First is on the RWY during take off. Second is just after TO. Third is climbing on the SID, but as seen on the ND, the plane is still tracking RWY HDG, not the NAV / FMS. Last pictures shows that the HDG knob on the MCP/AP panel is correctly pressed (?).   Any ideas? Anybody else has it like this?

What do you mean customizations? I have a fresh install of this beta, haven't done anything to it except set quick views (fresh, not imported from previous betas).

So, need your help to test MAC push-pull with this http://jardesign.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1183

Thank you!

Captbullet, aha now I understand. Yes, my set up is that I have the G5 mouse connected by usb, and the Apple trackpad by bluetooth (of course).

This morning I had an interesting finding. I started up this beta as usual after turning the iMac back on (it is turned off during the night). After this restart, the push/pull wouldn't work any more! Only the scroll function works. I reloaded the plane, and now the push/pull works again. Hmm, strange. The pull/push now works both with the G5 mouse and the trackpad, as it did yesterday.

The problem I am struggling with at the moment is that the AP NAV mode will not engage. Is it just me or does other people have the same? I read through some text in the FCOM yesterday, and the NAV mode is supposed to engage automatically at 30 feet radio altitude after take off, and it doesn't. It continues in RWY TRK mode... The same problem occurs if I activate HDG mode (pull hdg knob), which works. When I then want to reactivate NAV (e.g. by entering "Direct To" on the MCDU), it won't activate, it is stuck in HDG mode. Anyone experiencing these autopilot problems with NAV mode?

EDIT: I am just starting to think that maybe this can have something to do with the xPlane beta 7. I just tried again with A330 beta 1, and NAV still doesn't work... Then maybe its a XP problem..

FCOM descriptions, stating that what I am doing should turn on NAV mode (unless I misunderstand):

Seems like XP last beta (10.40b7) is to blame. I just read through this forum thread, and people are complaning about several issues after installing latest XP beta..

Good day,
Well, I seem to like the 10.40b7 and everything I have done with it so, far has worked well for me also, knowing that I do have to make some adjustments when up-dating to a new version of XP when a new Beta comes out I usually don't have the issues that most people talk about.
Some times, reinstalling a plugin is what it takes or an aircraft, or Navigraph update is needed but per the norms always, install a second copy for the beta if you don't want issues that I haven't even done in the past...

Nevertheless, this time the .avi files even work so, you can now make movies on the mac again so, there are improvements and the people that were complaining are the one's that usually complain about everything so, I test and make a opinion for myself since, each computer is set-up different we all must work together to resolve any issues.

P.S Bata XP  is not issue other wise A330 stable version would not work and it does just fine.

Good day,
you have done so much testing your preferences are out of whack I don't know how to clear them so, you don't loose all your setting but you do need to clean them up so, the sim know what to do and maybe re-starting the computer then the XP app will be enough to clean everything up so, you can start over again.

fix 1 for this beta:

ok, if you are on MAC and push-pull not work for you, please try this mac.xpl (need delete old from .../X-PLANE 10/Aircraft/330.../plugins/330/ and put new there).

New ground service working here. There are some few minor problems and some things that I would change but is working ok. GPU connects correclty, Fuel panel show up when I call the truck, ecc. Great job overall.

I had some trouble with STAR and transition on some airports but I've read that is a know problem right?

Hi,

MacOS 10.10.4
MagicMouse
X-Plane 10.40b7

Restarted X-Plane twice, both time working push/pull - looks good so far!

Cheers,
Tim
