matty260191 23 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Pilot side pop up mcdu. the 2 and 3 on the keypad are not working for me. shows a click spot just wont type. PROG page possibly putting numbers in wrong order. at the weight in the pic should be OPT FL380 not FL308. Please login to display this image.

matty260191 23 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 also just to add the approach phase doesn't automatically enable now at 15nm. is this correct we should manually enable it on approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, could you tell us the exact information you entered during your preflight setup so that we can try to recreate this issue? So far we did never encounter significantly incorrect OPT ALT predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should activate automatically when passing the DECEL point, not at a specific distance (even though the DECEL point usually can be found around 15NM).

matty260191 23 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 It didn't this flight and I entered all the correct ZFW/CG AND FUEL and it didn't happen on the flight before. This flight was updated to the 1.0.1.0 version. Ill be doing another later so will look out for the same issues. maybe just a glitch this flight.

I dont think its incorrect per say but maybe miss writing the 2nd and 3rd digit as FL380 would make sense at the weight in the pic. it says FL308 instead. didn't have this issue last night only the flight i just completed.

Emi 5161 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The OPT level is dependant on many parameters, if you did a short flight for example it might offer a lower altitude which would result in less fuel burn. That's why I asked for the full information you entered during pre flight as there are really lots of variables involved here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 LOWI-EGKK so was not too short I had 370 on the way out. i haven't flown again yet but will tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty260191 23 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 strange issue on this flight. at TO OPT=380 went up as usual during flight with fuel burn to 390 I am about to start decent in 80NM and it now says FL361. nothing has changed at all so how is it possible MAX REC=390 the whole flight MCDU set up completely correct. https://vatstats.net/flights/7772205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 just worked down to FL341 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 by any chance is it looking at wind data at the different altitudes while it calculates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 gone gone again seems the OPT is reducing the closer I get to arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty260191 23 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 on my current flight its happening again FL380 at takeoff as OPT then the closer I get it starts reducing the OPT FL which seems strange as I assumed it would only get better and higher as I burn fuel V1.0.1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 latest flight https://vatstats.net/flights/7777801 I am on V1.0.1.0 but I dont think its something that has been looked at I have now updated to 1.0.1.3 but doubt it makes a difference.

Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted July 30, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted July 30, 2018 OPT: This field displays the optimum flight level (in green), that is computed based on the current gross weight, cost index, temperature and wind. This flight level requires a 5 min minimum cruise at a minimum cruise flight level of FL 100. It displays dashes if an engine-out is detected. REC MAX: This field displays the recommended maximum altitude (in magenta), that is computed based on the current gross weight and temperature. and assuming that the anti-ice is off. It provides the aircraft with a 0.3 g buffet margin, a minimum rate of climb at MAX CL thrust, and level flight at MAX CRZ thrust. This field is limited to FL 411. If one engine is out, this field displays the recommended maximum engine-out altitude, that is computed based on the long-range cruise speed and assuming that anti-ice is off.

matty260191 23 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Well thanks for your reply that not my question though if you read this post :0. I know what OPT is my friend but if its at FL380 at takeoff and I fly 3 hours it should Go up not reduce near the end of my cruise. I believe its a bug. My friend has also tried the same flight and noted the same happening and I will be looking at it on all my flights as I believe something is going wrong with its calculation towards the end of the cruise.

matty260191 23 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 just done another flight now EGKK-EGPH at the start after engine start OPT=FL380. after getting airborne the same happens it reduces gradually over flight time. Can someone please tell me is it meant to decrease overtime? or is there in fact something wrong with the calculations. the MAX Rec is unaffected BTW https://vatstats.net/flights/7779706 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Any news on this issue? has it been replicated and fixed or is it something your not interested in or is its working as intended just not the same as the older versions?

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted August 11, 2018 Aerosoft Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'll try to find some more information on this next week. Is there anybody else who has seen similar problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty260191 23 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 yes 2 of my friends it happens regardless of route, always reducing OPT towards the end of the flight. maybe happens to everyone just no one really notices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
