So I love the TOD callout feature, but the default of 500' fpm is a bit low and I'd like to change it. I see references in the documentation to changing the default on the "FMS Setup Page" but don't see the setting when I go there via AUX->Setup->User Options. I'm clearly looking in the wrong place, but not sure where to find it.
Any suggestions from the community's wisdom? Thanks! Brad |

You're on the right page and tab. The decent rate selection is under the FMS Setup. Press the LSK until you get to the FMS Setup view (it switches between MAP Setup and FMS Setup).

And the response was not "I see no cave here."
(Raise your hand if you know where that came from.) ;) |

It predates the IBM PC by a fair bit, actually.

I remember playing that on a lineprinter console attached to a PDP-11, in the seventies!

I remember it from the pre-PC days too. I didn't realize it still had a life! I might have to download a copy to reminisce.

I used to have a copy of the source code. I worked in the building where the PDP-10 (later called DECsystem 10) was manufactured. I was a software guy - worked on the FORTRAN compiler and run time library and linker, among other things.
This is getting way off topic, but I will say that the any of the IFDs has more processor power and memory than the biggest PDP-10 mainframe. |
