[OT] Quick questions about ASV

[david22582]

Brad, learn to fly the 737 before you use it? This way you wont have the dead battery issue. I am sick and tired of seeing nube pilots try
and fly a complex aircraft like the PMDG. Stick with the default Cessna 152 or something.


All jokes aside now, I had the same problem as you. Are you running the 736/7 or the 738/9? Or both? Do you have updates? For the
800/900, there is a Service Update 1 that fixed the problem for me. Here is a list of fixes:

1) Eliminates a data corruption problem that was responsible for Unplanned engine flameouts
2) Eliminates a data corruption problem that was responsible for Unexplainable electrical losses (lights/radios/etc)
3) Eliminates a code problem that would cause the battery to die, thus triggering electrical problems.
4) Eliminates a code problem that would cause the generators to become unresponsive to the switches.
5) Eliminates a code problem that would cause certain types of asynchronous behavior in the lighting system.
6) Enhanced behavior for holding pattern entry.
7) Enhanced behavior for holding pattern exit.
8) Algorithmic track calculation for wind correction angle in holds. (Airplane "learns" during holding.)
9) Corrected errors in Cost Index Model
10) Corrected Generator Disconnect Switch behavior.
11) Updated behavior of electrical bus switching/protection logic.
12) Updated generator logic and battery behavior
13) Updated fuel system behavior to eliminate potential problems with fuel imbalance
14) CDU Action keys included in keyboard commands
15) Eliminated SPD REF selection CTD problem
16) LOC Back Course tracking fixed
17) Eliminated bug that causes CTD during aircraft changes.

Also, are you setting the DC and AC knobs correctly? I am sure you are but sometimes, with it not being in front of you like real life, things
are a little differant.

And off topic for a moment, I was wondering if I could contact you thru email, or even more so, the phone one day? I am currently pursuing
a 4-yr degree with a major in aviation flight science and a double major in aviation business managment. Plans are to go officer route in
the US Navy (close to the USMC) and become a pilot, hopefully strike fighter as yourself. I am trying to get as much advice and help as I
can along the way before I go through with everything. And even more offtopic, I consider you my idol, as you have flown both planes that I
want to in my life span, along with going the same route that I have been planning on going for years now. My email address is
lisiecki@wowway.com. Looking forward to your reply.

OT x2: Where do you fly most for SWA? Thanks


Also, my current GS in a 738 is 562 at 89% N1. Is that pretty good for a 73 series?
