AP and WXR and some minor issues
Hi,
after a few years of waiting (I didn't bother installing the KA after one of the first alphas which wasn't exactly pleasing) I finally gave the plane a try and installed v1.1.29 - and it is a REALLY nice GA-aircraft with lots of features - well done!
Nevertheless I have two major issues:
1. The AP feels a bit "robotic" to me. It tends to bank and pitch the aircraft so abruptly that obtaining sickbags for my paxes is mandatory
. Even with 1/2 bank it seems pretty rough.
2. The WXR only depicts rain when the AC is in a layer where rain occurs. If flying above said layer, no echoes are shown regardless of any tilt-setting. That has been the case with your WXR ever since i was using the standalone version and hasn't changed since. Would be nice if it could though.
The minor ones:
3. I sometimes have issues with the lighting of the "Prop Sync" or "GND COM" switches - instead of illuminating green they turn dark when selected. Seems an initialising issue.
4. I would appreciate some indication when the throttles reach flight idle, like a "klack" sound or something like that. Otherwise it's sometimes hard not to pull them back too far on approach.
Otherwise let me emphasize again: A VERY fine plane!
P.S.: P3Dv5 upgrade should be free for alpha-customers (like in "who purchased in the last six months or at least 4 years ago")
Kind regards
Tom
