[ ] 1. Allow entering the REF AIRPORT. I think this should also work with engines started...

[x] 2. Allow to copy flap setting into scratch pad

747-400 - 2021-04-13 14 29 47

[ ] 3. Entering the RW in the RTE page should preselect it on DEP page:

Thanks for implementing number 2. It was the most important of the three.

Number 1 is because you have the IRS aligned afaik. Are you sure you can enter it once the IRS is aligned irl?

mSparks43 commented 3 years ago

agree with @crazytimtimtim L2 on POS INIT is only active before the IRS aligns and (is supposed) to blank after take off Not sure where deactivating it came from, don't see it in the fcom so it must have been one of the CBTs

I believe entering the REF airport with engines startet, yet still on gound (before lift off) works with every other Boeing add on I know. I've just tested it with the Zibo Mod.

I agree with @oMrSmith actually, as the FCOM would've specified otherwise. I'll include this in my next PR.
