imemyself 12 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Based on the first manual...my understanding is that I should be able to save a flight, and then after exiting (or after a CTD), load the flight again and continue from the point where I saved the flight (including panel state, FMC, etc). I have yet to actually have that work for me. I've had a couple CTD's so far. Both times I attempted to load the flight from where I had previously saved it (while inflight). But none of the panel state was restored - the IRS's were not aligned, the FMC wasn't programmed, I believe many of the switches on the overhead panel were not in the state I left them, the autopilot was off, etc. On the second flight that I had a CTD on, I had also manually saved the panel state on the FMC at the same time as I saved the flight itself. After loading the flight itself (w/ none of the panel state restored), I tried to load the saved panel state from the FMC. This didn't seem to have any affect, other than causing both of the FMC's to go blank. I've tried loading the flight from the Flight menu after starting a new flight (I believe this is how the manual indicates it should be done?) I also did try loading it from the P3D start screen as well out of curiosity....P3D just instantly crashed for me then. Has saving / loading a flight while in flight worked for other people? If so...what are you doing differently? I'm using P3DV4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imemyself 12 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 FWIW I'd definitely agree with this being considered essential. Saving / loading flights seems to be kind of overlooked sometimes my developers (this is particularly noticeable on XPlane). If saving a flight works, CTD's are kind of just an annoyance. If saving / loading a flight doesn't work reliably, then a CTD sorta wastes an hour or two of my time. If that happens enough, it makes me not really want to fly this plane.

Senchay 7 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Well, the panelstate itself is causing CTD for me. I tried 3 times now to save a state, and 3 times it carshed. Oh wait, first time it didnt crash but stopped the planes engine after hitting the save "button". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannow 1 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Can anyone confirm if it is possible to save and restore mid flight . According to manual should be automatic . Panel restore is just a backup as some auto saves do not work . I cannot get either to work . Nice to know if it is a bug or just my system.

ggerolamo 2 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 not being able to save and reload a flight status is an absolute no-go !!! There is indeed a possibility to save a panel status via FMC, but unfortunately this does not work at all !! .-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannow 1 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 the panel state save was to be only used if autosave did not work, ie fsuipc I cannot get a standard save in PVDV4 to save and reload correctly or the panel save . Could this be confirmed by the developers as a bug . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Hartmann [OLD] 1419 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Confirmed. But also fixed for 1.0.0.5 (available shortly, after we completed testing the installer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosnowboarder_777 21 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I can confirm after the latest update, this is still not working for me, everything goes back to default once I restart a saved flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon747 98 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 1.05c works for me for panel state; the other versions did not. Ok now; makes life easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some1 1 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Doesn't work for me, even with 1.05c. Some stuff is saved (like v-speeds), but the flightplan and FMC settings are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosnowboarder_777 21 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi guys, any update on this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 1.0.0.5c saves the panels including the FCP, but not the FMS. I use this workaround for the rest: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
