Good news in the sky

 FSX. I have just tested the Captain Sim Service Pack 0.90 for the Triple Seven, and at last, some real improvements on this aircraft.

This maybe the right time to buy Captain Sim B-777. This morning, i was finally able to plan a flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles. To take-off and land. Mostly manually in the second part of it. But there are many progress.

LNAV, VNAV, the MCP looks fine !

My testimony :

The LNAV and VNAV work fine now. I did not try the autolanding but the approach to KLAX was really smooth and everything is responding well : flaps, spoilers, autobrakes, etc.

(flaps sounds are really weak though).

The ND display is working better. We can see a flight plan oriented on the right angle and the display modes are working. Waypoints are more or less visible but i tried to enter the approach STAR to KLAX and it did not work well though. The STAR points where not properly positionned on the ND. And on the Route page, destination KLAX  was curiously changed too KPHX, which was my departing airport. But once i rechanged the airport, it worked well and all the STAR procedures were available. I did not see T/C T/D indicators on the flight plan, but i might need more practice !

It seems the aircraft has been optimized. I am having +3/+4 fps. And no more problem with the yoke (was in a wrong position with SP 0.8). You can start a situation every where. Some weird things saw : on the flight plan preparation page, with the aircraft selected, mine has a wrong rudder position.

Conclusion :

The aircraft is flyable, and can be programmed from the MCP. Almost everything in the cockpit seem clickable.


You are an expert on this aircraft ? Your comments really appreciated !
