FlyerDoc Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 My B787 works fine - but tempted by all the rave comments, I added in the Heavy-Division mod. Although parts of it work OK, there is clearly an issue with the PFD and the map: This is with the B787 loaded, electrics on, route entered in CDU. It's clear that the PFD does not appear at all the same as the basic (ie non-heavy) version. The map display is not showing anything. All of this works perfectly well on the basic version. I have, of course, tried the usual re-booting, reloading the B78XH download, re-downloading in case it was corrupted. It's always the same. Is this something that others have seen? Any ideas?

FlyerDoc Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 OK, thanks. That move was totally non-intuitive! Not a case of RTFM, since there doesn't seem to be a FM!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger1962 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 The IRS is the Inertial Reference System (https://skybrary.aero/articles/inertial-reference-system-irs) a GPS-type 3-axis position locator which runs off 3 gyroscopes - you have to wait for these gyroscopes to get up to speed and then for the system to initialise and complete it's start-up.

chicagorandy Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Thanks - makes sense. I reckon I gotta learn me some glass panel GPS stuff one of these years.

FlyerDoc Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Having said it all worked fine, now not so. Loading up, settings all set, CDU programmed. Take off, set AP. Aircraft climbs but in a series of porpoising leaps. Disconnect AP and hand fly briefly, reset AP. Climb continues as before but once past the first WP it just keeps going, not following the route. Then starts an anti-clockwise turn, slowly but unstoppably going in circles. Time to bale out, getting dizzy. I shall go back to the non-Heavy version and see what happens.
