MSFS Products

@chipper_skipper Please lmk if you have a fix for SI doing this, I kept changing it through settings online and it keeps going back to N123AZ, it's driving me nuts. I just bought it to try it out and it's been an unpleasant experience to say the least...

@django1489 Please understand these planes are developed by one person, and these forums are looked at by one person. Although your request may seem simple, if it is not implemented perfectly it will lead to a very unpleasant user experience. From what I understand, there is currently no way to accurately get accurate information of a hard landing from the sim. Feet per minute (fpm) is not reliable do to sloping runways, a landing at Courchevel for example would require a positive 1500fpm for a normal landing (depending on aircraft speed and where you touch down on the rwy as well). G-force could theoretically be used for landing quality, but there is no easy way to connect a G-force measurement with the touching down of an aircraft, and that is assuming the data is even accurate with such a sensitive measurement. If you look at Volanta and other landing rate monitors that include G-force, the numbers simply make no sense if you actually do the math for them (which I have done because I am a huge nerd). To put it straight, your request is not as simple as it sounds. It may be possible in the future, but with the amount of work to simply model the aircraft accurately, it is clearly not on the agenda for the time being.

WORKING FINE NOW

Unfortunately, as you say, I believe this will be a limitation of using Chaseplane with some of our products. The Vulcan, and a few of our other products, rely on the core MSFS camera system to move the user to certain locations in and around the aircraft. As Chaseplane overrides the default camera system, the cameras that we trigger in the code no longer exist, so the camera will not change. It's something we have logged on our internal trackers for further investigation, and to see if there is any form of a workaround we can find for Chaseplane users. In the meantime with the Vulcan, it should be possible to create custom Chaseplane cameras inside the AEO/Navigrator compartment and then trigger those via the Chaseplane interface.

I think it would have been a customer choice rather than before/after a particular year. I've seen pics of early F28s with the bars, but there's also an (excellent) autobiography of an F28 pilot flying in the early 1970s where he specifically mentions the flight director being a 'bird'. So it may have been one of the many customer choices. Although it would be an absolute time/effort sink for JF, in an ideal world it would be great to see some more of the flight deck variations reflected in the model. Bar/Bird flight director, single or twin flight director controls (for different settings for Capt. and FO), autopilot master controls on the pedestal vs. the glareshield, the centre tank fuel pump switches and gauge disappearing when the tank isn't fitted (relatively few F28s had the centre tank bags - mostly military/govt. ones, it seems) and even the early engine instruments (with mechanical fuel flow gauges rather than the digital 'totaliser', which I think was only available on the 4000s and late 3000s). It would be a complete minefield trying to do the job thoroughly though - I've spotted three different positions for the Altitude Controller alone from old photos.

Hi. One more thing, please, please, please. Could I request you add pause at TOD to the RJ, 146, F28, and upcoming products. Thanks!

Re: Feature Requests Can we please get an updated FS Traffic Manual that shows SETUP Global settings for the latest version of MSFS 2024 instead of ones that no longer exist (e.g. "TRAFFIC AIRPORT QUALITY"). Thanks.

From our internal testing of the post-SU4 updates, we reliably see the correct state recalled on the first flight of a session, and then it becomes inconsistent on subsequent flights in the same session. Mark - Just Flight

Stand down everyone. I figured it out. Well, not so much 'figured' but stumbled upon it. You know the saying 'If you throw enough s**t at the wall, some of it will stick'? That the method I used.
