We were not part of any WU12 beta. Correct me if I am wrong, but there are only beta programs for SU, right?
You're right, I obviously wasn't thinking when I wrote that post. 😉

Quite amazed you guys didn't check compatibility of your Queenstown airport during the beta considering this is a major update for all of New Zealand.

I noticed I can hear the flaps moving in the cockpit. Surely that's a bug?

You don´t have to press profile again when nearing TOD.
Simply pull the ALT Knob to arm P.DES (should appear in blue on the FMA) and the plane will decent automatically.
I'm aware of the fact that this is how the descent works when I want it to start at T/D. But how would I start a descent 10-20nm earlier and then have the plane intercept the descent path?
-
I initiated my descent by resetting my altitude to the restriction I wanted to meet at 4k feet, then hit PROFILE to start descending. I did that around 30nm before the actual ToD. Is this how you not start an early descent?
The plane correctly started descending at 1k fpm so I expected it to catch the descent path after a while. But instead it slowed down to green dot speed and there was no VNAV indicator on the display. Target speed was Vapp (133 kts) but obviously it stopped at green dot speed because the flaps were up.
The VNAV diamond never returned. On the PROG page in the MCDU I could see that I was too low so I leveled off until I was just a few hundred feet below the descent path and hit PROFILE again. No dice, it just didn't intercept the descent path.
I really don't see what could possibly have caused the plane to think it's on approach at like FL320.
The Update had No effect...

Have you only tried recreating it by starting a flight at NZQN or have you also tried flying into NZQN from somewhere else? Funny enough I've noticed some issues only appear when you don't actually start at the problematic area but fly into it.
