Well after 0 issues with the original build and update 1 (About 6 or 7 flights). I am now unable to start a flight without the screens WASM-ing out on taxi out.

In the end: Actual Times: 2200 - 2220 - 1229 - 1235 / Block: 1435 / Flight: 1409 OFP Times: 2200 - 2220 - 1231 - 1239 / Block: 1439 / Flight: 1411 A350 Times: 2204 - 2220 - 1231 - 1239 / Indicated Block: 1411 / Indicated Flight: 1347 So, as you can see the block and flight times sensed is no less than 24 minutes less. As additional information block fuel used was 102.100 on an OFP value of 99.200. Meaning only a 2900 Kg difference over 14.5 hours. Which is pretty accurate. Meaning that this difference is not due to any unseen freeze or time compression. It was flown fully in real time.

I have added my "TIMES" page together with my flight's actual off blocks and airborne times. - Off blocks time should start recording when the brakes are released with all doors closed. Not after the first engine is started. - Airborne time correctly starts counting when the main wheel ground sensors release. However, - For both of these you will get an error as the flight progresses. I was pushed back at 2200. For the sake of keeping the time stamps correct I started my 1st engine at 2204 (see 1st item above). This means, that at 0929 UTC (as per picture), - My Block Time should be 11:25 and my Flight Time should be 11:09. - As per the picture however, my Block Time is 11:12 and my Flight Time is 10:55. Meaning, I have lost 13-14 minutes along the way. When I look at my OFP times, I see that over TEFFO I had an error of less than 2 minutes. So, I know that there was no SIM freeze somewhere for 13-14 minutes and that it is most probably the counter that is slow. OIS Settings: Time Compression - OFF, Max Compression 2x, MSFS 2024 - To summarize: 1. Off block time starts counting at 1st engine start instead of the first instance of brake release with all doors closed and 2., the Flight Time and Block Time counters seem to run slow.

I SECOND this BADLY. The way I have always done long flights is to set the time ONCE before the flight leave. After you come back, inevitably due to SIM loading and unloading, you will lose some seconds. I then simply accelerate back to current time. Why? - If you simply SYNC the SIM back to current time everything is screwed. Say your PC hung for 5 minutes. It unfreezes and you are 5 minutes behind. If you accelerate time back to current time, it is as if nothing has happened. If you simply let the clock only get back to current time, you are suddenly 5 minutes of fuel flow ahead. Screwing your whole OFP. - So, if you have lost time in cruise due to any hiccup and time magically jumps back to current time, your flight and block times no longer match reality. PLEASE ini, remove this stupid restriction that NO other airplane has.

If GSX is synchronised, there should be a SimBrief value under all the tank fill percentages.

What the hell. Per waypoint winds did not work for me either yesterday. I just came in to post about it

Hello, regarding these two posts, - https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/21666-fcu-digits/ - https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/22223-autopilot-lights-not-working-during-the-day/ where it was noted that the actual digits are not controlled by the FCU lighting knob. Is this still planned for a future update? Because as of 1.1.2 the issue persists. Xander

Hello, on the latest update and without using any import feature, but a full manual entry of the plan, winds and temps, it seems entered winds are not displayed correctly on the F-PLN page. - A : INIT B without cruise wind entered. If I inter the ToC forecast wind, there is no change to the issue. - B / C : F-PLN only shows the exact same wind as the one I have entered into the 1st waypoint after ToC. (218/13). - D : Shows the first waypoint wind entered and all previous and subsequent waypoints showing the same wind in small print. Reference waypoint "DIBIR". - E : Sample waypoint DIBIR, where on the previous picture shows "280/13", shows the planned wind entered manually into its VERT REV page. - Note that the temperature forecast does update as you enter them by waypoint. Furthermore, after the plane is airborne, the winds displayed in the F-PLN temps/winds page per waypoint, seem to have a mind of their own. The change values as the flight progresses. For example, when I started typing this post, the displayed winds at SUPEL was "216/13" whereas now, 6 minutes later, the planned wind over SUPEL is "212/14". (Entered forecast wind over SUPEL is "185/37". Xander

SEC F-PLN and STEP ALTS have been temporarily disabled. Hoping for them soon.

There is no mention of it in the Sperry FMS manual. So, I believe it is not possible.

Hello, SU15 Beta, NaviGraph NavData, 1.1.1 (HotFix) It seems, that after a certain altitude even though the thrust rating panel calculates a certain EPR for CL, the actual EPR values are lower. So, I tried to disconnect the auto-thrust and set it manually. However, even with the engines firewalled, I cannot even achieve CL EPR. In this particular case with CI of 60 and a climb speed of 325 IAS; Altitude: 27500 Climbing Weight: 163.2 Tons Total Air Temp: 6° Outside Air Temp: 24° TRP CL EPR: 1.535 MAX EPR with throttle firewalled: 1.501 This leads to excessive time-to-climb values and a struggle to maintain speed. Can the devs maybe verify this discrepancy between commanded EPR and achievable EPR? Cheers, Xander

Hey @richboy2307. I have done my best not to make VERT REV mods during cruise. I will give it a go and report back if the same happens. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Thanks Captain Obvious. Notice I didn't say anything about a bug.

Forgot to mention. Navigraph NavData and SU15 Beta (.12) and ini livery N173UP -600F.

On KRFD to KSLC. Via NORDK6, OCS transition. ILS 16L via WEBER. On the ground, I set both departure and arrival. No issues. I removed STAR WEBER and connected ILS 16L WEBER under NORDK. No issues. I took off and flew to about 500 miles to destination. I manually set 15000 at CARTR, then set a speed transition of 250/15000. Total freeze MSFS.
