Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Hi Ernie,

First, I think there may be a problem with the ISG forum...I deleted a duplicate post of mine and it deleted the entire thread.

Anyway, here was the post I was trying to put out:


Ernie--

I did as you suggested and entered the line VnavSetAlts=0 in the ISG cfg file and it had the opposite effect--the VNAV function no longer captured altitudes. So I put it back on a setting of 1 which makes it work consistently, at least up to the highest altitude specified in the flightplan.

But it still fails to get the descending altitudes right.
It seems to work if I turn off the VNAV and then turn it back on again but is that the right thing to be doing? Is there a correlation between the distances between waypoints?

Speaking of which, I tried changing the distance that the autopilot switches over to the next waypoint, since mine seems a bit early. My FMS defaults at 3 miles so I entered the following line in the ISG cfg file:

FlyoverWptChgDist=1.0

However, this didn't seem to change anything--as soon as the distance to the next waypoint falls below 3 miles, the plane changes course for the next waypoint as it did before. Is there a different way to go about altering this parameter?

Thanks!
