Cant fly the Jumbo!!

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1500 Jim:
Is it just me or is the fleet 747-400 hard to fly?? I can get the old girl off the deck but can i get her to turn...can i ****** ! I tend to use the autopilot heading bug when given vectors by ATC, i input the heading, engage autopilot and select heading mode, the aircraft banks but doesnt actually change course?? Even if i disengage A/P and try to hand fly her, she still wont turn....very odd?? Any suggestions chaps?? Cheers, Jim

EHM-0654 Murray:
Been a while since I "played" in the 747, but it's MCP (autopilot) is all but the same as a 737... only thing I can think of is to make sure you have LNAV disabled.

My FS went base-over this weekend, so I am going to have to reinstall before I can test it for myself (sorry I can't be any more help...)

EHM-1365 Benjamin:
Hi Jim,

I used to have the exact same problem with the turning, took about half an hour to go 90 degrees, and need the space of Wales to do it in!

I think I did something to fix it, but I can't remember what it was now....sorry :(

EHM-1500 Jim:
Cheers guys...atleast it's not just me being daft!! If anyone remembers, let me know, if not then guess i'll just have to wait for the PMDG !!!;D

EHM-1281 Cyriel:
Same here can not get it to turn. I can also remember Ben flying the boeing to Heathrow when I was on APP there. He had to make a 180 deg turn. I had to hand him back to  CTR and I think he even left his airspace again before he made the turn.:>
