Hi, This is for Syd really. There is topic on the forum about improving the 777 FDM, and I myself got a bit carried away with modifying the ground steering. Attached is a diff of my changes against git master, as well as a zip file containing (hopefully) all the modified files. What

As far as I can tell, the autopilot's roll stability has recently degraded. With a cvs build Feb 8th, with A/P engaged, the 77-200 rolls plus / minus about twenty degrees all altitudes, throttle settings: A/P heading mode. I'm pretty sure the 777 was roll stable two weeks ago, mp players

The 777 is totally in dev.. and making all sorts of capers.. I guess we have to sit back and wait for Syd to decide the aircraft and its systems is worthy of testing. In the meantime its a pointless task as the path is not identified, or indeed the path mapped. So come back later (BTW there is

The file referenced to AIR.xml and Msg.xml. I removed the lines that made reference to them in the XML and the model worked. Besides, why do I have to set property /controls/electrical/avionics-switch to true in order to get the EFIS to work? Are you changing something in the electrical system

Looks like it was just a CVS file conflict(I noticed it in the terminal), so I deleted the file and let CVS do its job. It still wouldn't load, so I removed a few lines which referenced to non-existant files and the aircraft loaded. By the way, I have noticed that the engine indicators now show

Removing a few lines to non existant files would be more useful to me if you could name them . If your reporting bugs because of a mess on your end , maybe that should be resolved first. I only have so much spare time :) Since that doesn't happen here , I suspect you have leftovers,but more

OK, so I forgot to report other bugs as well ;) It is important to report them to the devs :) The engines' N1 RPM is indicating idle even if they're turned off. Pressing the fuel pump buttons result in a Nasal error. Also I would like somebody to answer a question: where do you turn the 777's TCAS
