Groundspeed not 0?
Dec 3rd, 2007, 6:59pm
 
Hi,

First of all, thank you for making such a great and accurate freeware gauge. However, i have a small problem. When position entered and aligned, tuning to NAV, the ground speed reads not as '0' (see attachment) I had it also with 1.50 but not with 1.40

Thank you  Wink

Looks like it is influenced by wind even on the ground. I'm checking with Gianfranco what GS should read while on the ground.

One question for you: Looks like you're using Vista. If so could you please confirm that the CDU "Keyboard Capture" mode works?

Thanks
Marco

I can confirm that the way Ground Speed is currently managed, while the aircraft is on the ground, is wrong, a correction to the gauges will be required to fix it.

Thank you
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco,

So you confirm it is a problem of CIVA ins gauge or SSTSIM?
The keyboard capture mode is working well in Windows Vista Premium (dutch version), i have never encountered problems with it.

Thank you for your great work!

It's a CIVA problem. In FS Ground Speed is influenced by wind, independently from the aircraft being on the ground or in flight, this because, I think, it's linked with IAS/TAS which is indeed influenced by wind, even on the ground.

Expect an updated version of CIVA gauges.

Thanks
Marco
