Issues addressed:
- FIX INFO page and associated ND symbols added
- FMC locks up related to vertical profile constraints entry - fixed
- FMC Place-Bearing-Distance entry now accepts decimal point
- Calculated takeoff V speeds now depend on OAT or assumed temperature, if entered.
- DIRECT TO a runway CF fix causes immediate descent disregarding the MCP altitude - fixed
- The FMC will no longer lock into descent phase when flaps are extended in climb.
- FMC doesn't auto reset 30 seconds after landing - fixed
- When coords are entered into FMC "ENTER INERTIAL POS" field, the last digits reset to zero - fixed
- The PERF INIT page now accepts new cruise alt when in-flight.
- Entering new DEST and executing changes on the RTE page now clears all route legs and reverts the AP to basic HDG HOLD + VS modes.
- Initial VNAV descent speed is now the same as cruise speed.
- ERASE prompt not displayed when DES NOW selected - fixed
- Changing FMC destination airport will now change current FMC phase of flight to Climb
- Setting aircraft on ground from flight using slew or FS "Go to airport" menu will now revert FMC phase to Pre-flight and reset the FMC route and performance data.
- FMC route and performance data will now be reset 30 seconds after landing.
- Entering a new cruise alt now re-activates Cruise phase of flight.
- Entering a new cruise alt while in flight will always request the EXEC confirmation
- Entering different DEST didn't display its name in DEST field until executed - fixed
- Entering different DEST erased ORIGIN - fixed
- When the FMC sequences to a DISCONTINUITY leg, the AP now reverts to HDG HOLD mode.
- Pushing INIT REF while airborne didn't select APPROACH REF until cruise stage - now will always select APPROACH REF when airborne
- When an arrival runway and STAR is selected, selecting another runway sharing the same STAR, without re-selecting the STAR again, removes all the STAR waypoints - fixed
- FLCH can be engaged when MCP selected alt = current alt - fixed
- If A/T ARM switch toggled off and on, the thrust mode remained blank even if a pitch mode was currently active - fixed. Appropriate thrust mode is now selected.
- The AP DISCONNECT warning will now extinguish when the disengage bar is returned to the UP position.
- Selecting APP with LOC active was arming LOC again - fixed
- In FLCH mode, if the altitude selector is rotated thru the current altitude, the pitch mode will switch to V/S.
- LNAV and VNAV can no longer be selected if there is no active route or FMC performance data.
- Selecting GA during approach didn't disarm FLARE and ROLLOUT - fixed
- VNAV doesn't engage when flying at cruise alt - fixed
- Yaw dampers now automatically engage above 200ft AGL and automatically disengage below that altitude
- If assumed temp was used to derate the takeoff, this assumed temperature was mistakenly used instead of actual OAT to calculate the climb power afterwards, resulting in really poor climb performance - fixed
- The green reference EPR limit indexes on the EICAS engine display are now replaced with magenta Commanded target EPR indexes when under VNAV.
- TCAS Resolution advisories, aural and PFD guidance implemented
- The FSUIPC offset for SquawkBox 3 Transponder Mode C is now set when the transponder selector is at XPNDR, TA ONLY or TA/RA. It is not set at ALT RPTG OFF position
- Transponder selector now defaults to STBY
- Errors in fuel system logic fixed
- Engine vibration readings adjusted
- AOA limit indicator jittering on ground - fixed. Also the indicator is now shown only if flaps are extended.
- WX radar tilt displayed on HSI doesn't exactly match the knob position - fixed
- Pressurization outflow valves will now close in attempt to stop leak when aircraft doors are opened in flight.
- GPWS TERRAIN warning sensitivity adjusted
- PACK switch OFF light and PACK L/R message are now displayed when a pack doesn't have sufficient bleed air supply pressure
- Panel switcher is not lit with instrument lighting on - fixed
- Outside scenery window height adjusted
- Button, switch and selector sounds added
- When a lower cruise alt is entered during CRZ CLB, the CRZ DES mode didn't activate - fixed
- Entering and deleting a speed restriction on VNAV CLB page results in ACT -1KT CLB - fixed
- Climb and descent speed transition altitudes can now be deleted
- MCP AP and AT lights weren't lit when IND LTS TEST selected - fixed
- TRIM AIR now fails if there is no duct pressure
- Loss of hydraulic pressure now freezes the flight controls; elevator drops when on ground.
- FLAP OVRD button overrides both gear and flap callouts while GEAR OVRD does nothing - fixed
- LNAV Turn anticipation adjusted
The FMC routes are now saved in FS/PSS/Routes folder instead of FS/PSS/Boeing 777/Routes folder. This is made to allow both PSS 777 and PSS 757 share the same route files. When routes are listed, the FMC will additionally search in FS/PSS/Boeing 777/Routes folder and list the routes saved by pre-patch PSS 777.
