March 31Mar 31 Hello iniBuilds, first of all, let me assure you that I am fully aware that the version we are currently seeing by now is probably a few builds old and the issue I am seeing and reporting on might have already been fixed. At the moment, from all the video's I am seeing there is no visual indication of approach minima in the L-1011 other than the RA gauge, which is only used when setting CAT II/III radio altimeter minima. So, for any other type of approach, including a normal CAT I ILS, there's no procedurally correct way to display a visual reminder of the approach minima. I've taken the time to check a handful of online pictures of the Tristar cockpit and all I have seen either have a white manual bug on the outer ring of the altimeter gauge, or a dual-knob altimeter with an orange internal bug on the gauge face (the same style as in your A300-600R airliner). Again, it might already be included, however I thought I would point that out. Cheers, Xander (777Drvr)
March 31Mar 31 Staff Hi Xander Thanks for your post, we'll take note of it for a future update. Strictly speaking though, its not entirely wrong that there isn't one. While some cockpit configurations did have it, its not mandatory nor something that was found on all of them. I'll share an example here below. In such instances you can still use the RA for reference (which is also provided for CAT 1 approaches on charts), though legally you still have to keep an eye out for the altimeter for the baro minimum. In any case, I understand the need for one and as such have recorded your suggestion. Thanks! Vrishabh Sehgal ( @Richboy2307 ) Community Team Member & Tester iniBuilds Ltd. | inibuilds.com
