Yes, I agree – please make the fonts legible! They are so tiny, they are not useable.

Quick question, is there any plans to increase the text size on the navigation displays (in which some cases are too small to be legible.) My opinion is that way point displays need to be white and have a taller defined font.

No panic…i don’t pay Carenado twice. It was only a joke.
In real life burning PT6 will be expensive.

Cheers

You don’t _have_ to pay Carenado again each time you burn out an engine – you can just pick “new flight”. 😉

Seriously, I think this may be fixed…there is a bug in b15 where the ITT jumps really fast, and Austin has fixed it for b16; I sent Carenado a build and I think this fixed their fire problem.

Only “shortly after we ship”…I can’t put down stop-ship bugs to work on it. (Jennifer’s also going to be busy solid until we ship.)

I burned so many PT6 turbines in PB15…expensive 🙂

Is there a chance for PB16 at the weekend ?

Greetings

Do you have an ETA for the FMOD document?

We are fixing bugs. The systems are locked for features. So for example, pb15 has a bug in its ITT calculations, causing ITT to spike. That will be fixed in pb16. But for example, Austin’s new fuel introduction features system (new feature, lets you simulate auto-start realistically for a jet engine like in the A320) won’t be until 11.10.

Re: the APU generator, please file a bug and include the aircraft. The only ‘bug’ I know of is that those datarefs are INOP on the 747 due to crazy plugin coding – they work in the 737.

The blending equation is already changed – we were on the new equation in pb1.

Thanks!]]> This means the aircraft systems are now “locked” and ready to go?
Is there some open bug regarding APU datarefs?

Was something related to the datarefs below returning zero:

sim/cockpit/electrical/generator_apu_amps
sim/cockpit2/electrical/APU_generator_amps

I would like to know if it`s a bug or a redesign of the system, actually.

Thanks!
