Quirky T7

A forum for everything else that does not fit into the other categories

Descending into Paris in the PMDG T7, was slightly above profile, FMC asks for drag so I pop the speedbrakes. Few mins later, still above profile, autopilot comes up with a brilliant, if not quirky solution. Lets plummet at 7000ft per minute blink.gif At least now we are below profile so we will definitely meet our next waypoint requirement. Now if you'll excuse me I need to phone ahead and alert Charles De Gaulle cleaning services...

EDIT: Well landed safely at CDG but if they didn't half park me at the furthest, most remote stand they could possibly find sheesh...

Nope, was just a random event. This aircraft is quite a quirky thing. More so than I am used to with previous aircraft.
