@Boss Thank you for the info on the upcoming patch to fix the problem. "do not select the STAR via the FMS" sounds a bit strange to me. The 50 Nm mark is within the STAR most of the time (and during the descent). My rough guess is that if you skip t…

@freddy To be honest, I do click the ARM APPR when available but have allways manually selected NAV1+NAV2 (when ILS) and APPR on the AFCS panel. Most of the time before the FAF. It's only when there was a sudden wind change that I needed the TUNE …

In the rebound.... if there is anyone using PRO-ATC and/or UTLive AND having the same issues, my guess is that this indeed could cause this kind of problems. I never used PRO-ATC because it is not PRO at all (faulty phrasology) and UTLive jumps on a…

@kroswynd Really? Blaming it on the other add-ons is an old IBM trick I know since the '60s when mixed hardware configurations came in use. I fly the Quality Wings 787 frequently with Active Sky and AivlaSoft and that plane is a hell of a lot more…

@FraPre I don't know if it has something to do with the length of the route. Just made the flight mentioned by @ha5mvo which was 1 hr 9 min on FL250. This time no ARM APPR @ 50 Nm fm dest. Yesterday's flights were a bit longer 1h25m and 1h17m and wi…

Surprise!!! Today two flights, EDDH to LOWS and LOWS to EDDK and on both the ARM APPR was working normally. So I consider this as SOLVED (for the time being).

@aua668 The Simbrief downloader puts the fltplns directly in the Q400's Routes directory. @FraPre About being in the climb was a wrong assumption on my side as I found out in a later flight on the same route. As I wrote before, I've set a 50 Nm dis…

@FraPre All routings come from Simbrief. The first 3 after installing 1.024 are as mentioned in my post of Febr. 5th. CRZ levels were on FL150, FL210 and FL200. I retried the first one several times with the same fltplan and level (and outcome). T…

Sorry @kroswynd, I'm still having the isseu. After a renewal of my Navigraph subscription I'm now on the actual 2201. It seems that the navdata is NOT the problem. I made seven flights since the flight to LSGG when the ACT APPR was suddenly back.…

Thanks for the reply. I've done some more testing and to me it is almost certain that the navdata file that comes with 1.024 has some data errors that will make the Q400's FMS act the way it does. More specificly, after selecting the STAR. I can rep…

I think I found the problem. When scanning the flightplan I saw that the RWY was not in the list. While planning a new flight I found out. Now I remember that on all three flight (and the one from today), after selecting the STAR it showed: .......…

I did the LOWL to LOWG flight again. Same date, same weather, same flightplan. I had a 50 Nm distance cirkel around LOWG on my chart. No ARM APPR upon entering. I continued descend until passing 10,000 ft transition alt. Still no ARM APPR. Scenar…
-
Strange. I did a flight today LOWW to LSGG and the ARM APPR was back. Could this have anything to do with the fact that the previous three flights were pretty short ones? That the aircraft was still in a climb on the moment that ARM APPR should com…
-
After the install I did 3 flights in a row with the same problem. LOWL to LOWG ILS RWY35C LOWG to LHBP ILS RWY13R LHBP to LOWW ILS RWY16 I renamed the attached plightplans from .fpr into .txt to bre able to attach them.

In the rebound.... it was not the driver after all. The problem came back one day later. Finally I swapped the cables on the PC/Notebook side and gone was the problem. It was probably a dirty contact or so. Funny enough flying the QWB787 for two hou…
-
After all it was a corrupted driver. The PC is used for Flightsim only. So it was pure coincidence that just after I started flying the Q400 again after a long time there was a problem at the same time. Widows Update is almost certainly to blame. Dr…

Just found out that the PC (server) ran on 100 Mbit/s instead of Gigabit. The client pc is an old one that cannot run faster than 100 Mbit/s. I changed the speed of the server. Let's see what happens....

Just found out what the problem was. (Myself!). Very sorry to bother you. I've been outdoor for a very long time and my first flight gave me this issue. No excuse. Sh!t happens. Have good flights and happy landings. Dirk

OMG, it was not over today. I did see some change on the MFD yesterday, thinking 'it's OK', but it was not. When the MFD reads 500 KGS 500 (so 1000 in total) and use CPAN to load 4300 KGS into the plane, the MFD reads 1000 KGS 1000 (so 2000 in t…

I opened, checked and closed the WB.ini. Then I changed the vuales in CPA and hit the button. The values in WB.ini were updated. And... to my surprise... this time the new values were updated on the MFD, while they were not updated earlier today…

Hi Kroswynd, Just checked. In the CPAN dir there is only mjc84cpan.exe and WB.ini and the subdir res. No .txt file. Dirk
