I am most saddened to hear that it will NOT be available. Although I understand your concern about its stability when not in a stable autopilot mode, it surely could be a user controllable feature either in the setup, or as an LSK option. This is one of those gee-whiz features, together with the multiple altitude restrictions, that would really help set the IFD540 apart from others, and is of immense practical value. This kind of software feature is available on at least one tablet based software app. I've used it, and found it to be quite workable, even when handflying. I truly hope that you reconsider the availability of the range to climb/descend arc. Q. But, that begs the pregnant question, you DO at least provide a digital value for the VSR required to meet the next (and subsequent) altitude constraints, yes? * Orest Edited by oskrypuch - 08 Dec 2013 at 1:49pm |

Range-to-Climb remains an existing item on the list for potential future features. It was a favorite in R9 and has some strong internal backers.
As for VSR, yes, that exists as a datablock option in this release. And it performs like what you're looking for.

Yes, I (nervously) searched through the docs, and found the VSR datablock item. Sure hope you bring the arc back.
Steve -- for now I am going to have to go out and edit the "arc" out of all my posts about "super cool IFD540" features. ;-) * Orest Edited by oskrypuch - 08 Dec 2013 at 2:23pm |
