MSFS Products

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed a behaviour with the Fokker 100 during the final approach that I’m not sure is intended or possibly a bug. When established on the ILS, I regularly find that once I extend the flaps to 25, and especially 42, they seem to generate a huge amount of drag. When reducing speed from around 180/170 knots down to the approach speed, e.g. 132 knots, the autothrust seems unable to keep up with the deceleration. As a result, the aircraft repeatedly gets into the red/low-speed range. If I leave ATS engaged, it then seems to apply almost TOGA thrust to recover the speed, which results in the aircraft accelerating back up to around 160–170 knots. At this point I’ve started taking over manually because otherwise the speed oscillations become quite excessive during the final approach. Is this behaviour intentional and representative of the real Fokker 100, or could there be an issue with the flight model/autothrust logic? I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced the same thing or if there is a specific technique/procedure I might be missing. Thanks!

We do have this logged on our internal trackers, and we'll be further investigating it ahead of the next RJ update. From our previous investigations, it appears to be a core MSFS 2024 bug, and fixing it on our side will require a rewrite of that autopilot mode's code, which is a significant time investment and needs to be scheduled into our workflow at an appropriate time. Therefore, we can't provide a specific time frame for when the next RJ update will be at this time. From my experience, the aforementioned LVL CHG behaviour may only exist on the first LVL CHG engagement of a flight and only if a specific simconnect call is being made by another program to generate AI traffic. If you experience this behaviour in the sim under those conditions, my recommendation is to toggle LVL CHG ON > OFF > ON, and LVL CHG will then behave as expected for the remainder of the flight.

Thanks for your quick reply! So I get this right, that the values from the manual represent the real aircraft and are simply not achievable in the sim due to the "thick air" it simulates at low altitudes?

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

Hi @bonobo611, as Derek said above, we continue to support our entire library of MSFS products and provide updates/upgrades when our resources allow. All of our products received large, free of charge updates/upgrdes last year, which you can read more about here: https://www.justflight.com/articles/end-of-year-round-up-2025-part-one We're always open to feedback on our products, and that community feedback is one of the main drivers we use to decide what product is next to be updated/upgraded. The best way you can log feedback on any of our products is by raising a ticket with Just Flight Support at the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support Our support team is best positioned to assist with troubleshooting, and they will also log any bugs/feature requests on our internal trackers if required. About the two items of feedback provided in your message: The 146 TCAS behaviour isn't something I recall seeing reported previously, but if you see that behaviour again, could you kindly raise a support ticket explaining the behaviour to our support team? Any screenshots/videos showing the behaviour would also be a great help to us, and we can then ensure the appropriate action is taken. The "map not zooming" behaviour is most likely caused by the bottom right corner of the EFB (where the zoom controls are located) overlapping with the interactive checklists on the left side wall. This was introduced a few Sim Updates ago, which affected the method we were using to prevent items from being clicked through the EFB. We do have this logged as an item to keep monitoring with each Sim Update. In the meantime, the zoom buttons will function if you move the EFB to the 'Window' position by clicking the top bezel. We are not aware of any "radio" bugs or regressions caused by recent Sim Updates in the F28, so we would again kindly ask you to raise a support ticket with any feedback you have, and we can ensure appropriate action is taken.

I remember few years ago you could trim the aircfrat fine, I have no binds issues clean profile but when I move the hotas for elevator the trim moves.. Is this normal as can't trim the aircraft now?

That one has been around for a long time now and I'd be glad to see it gone, but I'm not so sure that isn't just a bug with the sim autopilot itself and not the JF planes.
