MSFS Products

Been checking FSDT's release notes for GSX Pro-and yes, no seated passengers still it seems.

Fantastic, thanks Mark. That worked!

@flightquay What you're seeing is actually the intended behavior. I've simulated several different battery dynamics in my aircraft, including internal resistance and temperature effects. A 24V battery has a nominal voltage of 25.8V when fully charged. When current is drawn from the battery, the voltage will droop in proportion to the amount of load. Here's we see ~0.9V droop when the battery master switch is placed in the on position. Try adding load, or engaging the starter, and you will see the voltage drop further. With the starter engaged, we go all the way down to 17V, and back up slowly, as the propeller begins to spin. When the generator comes online, the voltage will jump to 28V, which charges the battery. This also affects the lighting in the aircraft, and other system too. You can read more in the "Voltmeter & Ammeters", and "Voltage-Based Light Dimming" sections of the manual. Just for fun, you can see the LO VOLTS annunciator illuminated and the lights dim when the starter is engaged in this video. These are the details that I enjoy most about aviation In the meantime, let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

If Working Title puts the Aspen avionics natively into MSFS, that might be an option too. I thought I saw that somewhere as being on their to-do list but I could have been dreaming. It would be inserted into the panel much like the 430/530 units are now...those are Working Title's 430/530's.

It looks like the correct TACAN frequency for the LKH TACAN is 39X. Mark - Just Flight

The parking brake needs to be released for the Skid Control test to work (it won't work if there's brake pressure already at the wheel units). So in the pre-flight you need the chocks in and the parking brake off for the Skid Control test. The guarded switch turns off the power to the Skid Control Computer, which will therefore make the warning light illuminate. The tutorial videos were done when the F28 was released - V2 of the F28 updated the Skid Control system logic to be more realistic (i.e. not working with the parking brake set). In V1 this wasn't simulated.

@evan_richard1 there was a Neptune scheme made for the old version. I tried to load it into the updated FS2024 version and couldn’t get it to work unfortunately. I have no idea how to get it to work. Old version someone can maybe use as a template. https://flightsim.to/addon/31965/justflight-bae-146-neptune-aviation-tanker-10-old-livery

I would love to see more cargo aircraft soon!

I can't switch the engine master switch to start while in VR in MSFS 2020! It will go to 'on' ok but every time I click it to start it just goes back off again (I only have this problem in VR as the switch works perfectly in flat screen). I've noticed that if I'm behind the front seat the switch moves to start fine as I can click it from the back but while sitting in the front seat it just always goes back to off again and I cant get the mouse pointer behind the switch. Is there a problem with the switch sensitivity area in VR? I've tried configuring the engine master switch to a button on my Turtle Beach Velocity One throttle but none of the control options - toggle engine master switch etc seems to to anything.

Yes, that is intentional. We removed the tutorial flight files from our aircraft packages in order to comply with some MSFS Marketplace requirements. The manuals likely do still refer to the tutorial flight files, and it is something we have logged to get corrected the next time the manuals get updated. The old tutorial flight files simply loaded the aircraft at the location stated in the tutorial flight; they didn't affect the aircraft systems in any way. So as long as a flight is loaded at the departure airport stated in the manual, it'll still be possible to complete the tutorial flight in full. Mark - Just Flight
