Flying the Lineage 1000 from FACT to FAWK Friday afternoon, and had a few issues with the aircraft
First of all, it is a beautiful aircraft, and AWESOME VC. but in my opinion, it lack of a few things:
Right after takeoff, as you can see in the screenshots, it was misty in Cape Town, and with positive rate of climb, gear up, and like normal procedure, I engage the autopilot. There my problems started. trying to get a climb rate of 1800fpm, but to my surprise I notice the aircraft is sinking, instead of climbing. I then discovered the positive/negative signs are working the wrong way around on the selector wheel. so instead of setting the value up, I was setting it down. I then discovered the same with the altitude.
Ok that fixed, I was looking for the NAV/GPS button. Nope. Nothing there. You need to use the in flight computer to navigate. I then  did manual VOR to VOR navigation to FAWK (I was bargaining on working on the Rooivalk while the lineage was in the air - nothing came from that)
When on approach at FAWK, the speed hold would not disengage, resulting in a go around.

Thanks  Wink Ive landed safely, and this all make FS adventurous. I could have stopped the flight, and reset, etc, but then I would have taken the fun out of the whole situation.

btw, links edited, ( I completely forgot I had to upload the images to SimV's own server)

Last two are amazing Shocked Cool
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"
