MSFS Products

I landed at MMBT yesterday, and I noticed after I taxied into the parking spot, everything sort of froze. I just figured an MSFS glitch, and exited normally. But when I tried to load the Grand Duke back at MMBT today, nothing works. I can hear clicks sometimes, but none of the switches move, and the flight controls do nothing.

But, if I load the Duke at other airports, it's just fine. And other aircraft (I've tested the Bonanza and Comanche) work with no issues at MMBT. It's just too weird.

I just loaded a custom MMBT from Flightsim.to, and the Duke works on it. I've no idea what the problem is, but I've solved it with custom scenery, just wanted to let the PTBs know.

@Tensim The altitude hold click spot you refer to has been implemented in the Arrow since its original release in 2021, and therefore, we can confidently say that its implementation has not affected the autopilot behaviour in any way. The hidden vertical speed click spot was added in a post-release update based on feedback we received from the community and uses a similar logic to the altitude hold click spot. These clickspots use very basic logic and simply trigger the default MSFS autopilot modes when clicked, so any issues experienced with these features are likely related to controller conflicts with one of the default MSFS autopilot modes being triggered by external hardware.

One thing that has changed significantly since the Arrow's original release is the updates to the GPS units. Each of the GPS units that can be selected in the Arrow has received significant updates by their respective developers since the Arrow's original release, and in some cases, this has resulted in effectively entirely new GPS units with enhanced simulation. Each of these GPS units does attempt to overrule the Arrow autopilot code with their own custom autopilot code which can cause autopilot quirks depending on which GPS is selected.

If you would like to experience the Arrow with our autopilot code, please select the NO GPS option on the EFB, otherwise, the autopilot will be controlled by a mixture of our code and the selected GPSs code.

As Derek has said above, if you are having any issues please open a support ticket with Just Flight support we will be able to assist with troubleshooting this further: https://www.justflight.com/support

@Mark Awesome! Thank you! ❤️

Apologies, I misunderstood the question. The upcoming Warrior update does add the new ground dynamics/soft body dynamics/improved suspension. I will need to check with our flight model developer though regarding any changes to the propeller system/CFD.

Thank you for the feedback. It certainly won't take too much longer for the next Hawk update. A new flight model for the Hawk has been in development since the last update with the goal of fixing all the feedback we have received. These things take time, but we would rather take the time to release the update only once we are confident the feedback we have received has been addressed.

Hi all.

Are any of you using the PC version of the 146 downloaded from our website (rather than the Marketplace version)? If so, can you try downloading this file: DOWNLOAD HERE

Paste/move that WASM file into the '\justflight-aircraft-146\SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_146_100\panel' package folder, overwrite the existing file when prompted, and then see if the same issue occurs with the EFB tablet.

Thanks,
Martyn

@Mark This was the solution to my issue. Thank you!

I seem to recall that there was a reason why we simulated the Speed Command mode as inoperative in the F28, but I can't remember what that reason was... It may have been related to a lack of reference material for that mode.

I will add it to our internal feature request list for us to investigate for the V2 update.

The TFR does not have a coupled autopilot mode in the Vulcan. Once an altitude is set on the TFR height selector, the pitch attitude required to maintain that height above the terrain will be displayed by the flight director. This is how is works in the real aircraft too.

I second this!
