Vertical speed probs in Fs Pax.

[Russ]

I've recently installed Fs Pax on my new computer in Ireland, and have encountered an unusual problem:

Example: Using Fs Pax, if I select Altitude, +15000 ft using the co-pilot, my altitude will read correctly, and on selecting, flight director, the
vertical speed indicator will automatically show whatever the aircraft is configured to show. (Let's say, +1800)

However, when descending things aren't quite right. Co-pilot selects new altitude, but VSI stays at 0000.

If I then manually select the desired descent rate, the aircraft will start to descend at that rate, but will then revert to a descent rate of LESS
than -500 ft/sec. Frustrating to say the least as ATC keeps asking me to expedite my descent!

This is the first time that I've experienced this problem, as I've never had this on my other computer in Slovakia.

Any ideas?

What's the plane?

Sorry, I should have said.

This problem happens with ALL planes, ALL panels.

i have this problem to. select the altitude you want to go to. then on the altitude section click to increase it once and then decrease it once

like this

alt - step 1
|--00000--|

alt - step 2
|--15000--|

alt - step 3
|--15100--|

alt - step 4

|--15000--|

Took your advice; that seems to have done the trick.

Cheers!

hopefully, there will be a more convenient method of doing this in the update

This is ridiculous!!!

I thought I'd solved this bug using ' ragingfred's' advice, but no. No matter what I do, the altimeter crawls around and I end up too high to
intersept the glide slope.

I never had this problem on my other computer, so it's definitely a bug.

This is ruining my enjoyment, and if I can't get it sorted out pretty damn quick I'll have no alternative but to uninstall FsPax from this computer.

frustrated?

Erm...Anger Management?

Steady, dear boy, I don't get angry; I get even!

Anyway. I uninstalled FsPax, reinstalled it and now if I manually change altitude settings, the aircraft responds properly.

I can live with that, fingers crossed.

for approaches with autopilot on i set the altitude to 0 or nearest to the ground in 100 feet and set the VS to between -300 to -1000 depending on my
position relative to the glideslope
