Can I add a data point of using CI53 with a simbrief provided plan or an old BA real world cirrus was within 200kg or so of a long PSX flight.

Cheers

All of the PFPX Perf Files & PFPX 744 Model files I created for PFPX were created using the Boeing FPPMs.

I dont know what data set HH has used to create the complex simulation behind what PSX is & I am not here to in anyway criticize what he has created.

But if if from a performance wise point of view PSX is not using Boeing FPPM data in the same way as the PFPX files there there will be inaccuracies & differences in results between PFPX & PSX.

Its as simple as that.

No criticism intended.

In the PW video I see the cursors at idle in "green-REV". Maybe the cursors should only be invisible when they are out of idle.

Theory: Idle is a clearly defined position and thus can be shown to the pilot. Non-idle command is vague on EICAS and thus must be hidden.

I'm tending to agree with you here Hardy...from what I can see the Cursor Symbol seems to be removed as you say when the REV move out IDLE into Partial REV THR or an increasing amount of REV THR.

Xview does work: PSX is connected with XP12. Are there any messages on the weather plugins or are the remarks in general

Okay, changing the fuel/drag bias factors to 0.5%/1.9% adds about 6 minutes to a 13-hour flight, and burns an extra 2000 lbs, per PFPX.

Next step is to fly the flight and see how things look at the end.

Hardy,

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but it confirms your update in PSX 10.151 - the THR Cursors do disappear in REV operation on all three ENG Types.

Finally some really decent quality footage.

From what I see the THR Cursor vanishes once REV changes from yellow to green as the REV are fully opened & Partial/Full REV is selected. Obviously this is triggered by the logic built into the air/ground sensor/reverser systems sensor logic.

Best

Hans,

If you get stuck drop into the simfest discord https://discord.gg/Hn5fYeRb and we can chat further... Macroflight on the forum has had alot of success too.

Cheers

New Aircraft ( Here ) now fixes the dim lights.

Note it has been renamed to PSX.NET.MSFS.WASM for clarity so the .internal one can be removed from your community folder.

PS: If anyone wants to make some external camera entries in the cameras.cfg please feed them back for inclusion.  Same with Liveries.
